bogies repair fund

bogies has been in the music scene for over 3 decades. the building is run down and in need of a facelift. the roof leaks, the floors are shot, and things need to be rejuvenated. both ralph simeone and myself both work full time jobs and dedicate several hours and out of pocket money to keep the place going. most shows are done without the help of advertising because of financial burden. the scene keeps the place alive. there are some costs and expenses that are beyond our reach. sometimes the staff donates their time just so we can get by. i have never made a profit off of any shows. all money goes into staff, inventory, outside bills or upkeep. we do this for the love of music and seeing smiles on peoples faces. i would like to make our environment more comfortable and secure. seeing that there isn't any extra money, it is difficult. this is a place that so many bands have played. bands like clutch, blink 182, testament, missing persons, members of pantera, black sabbath, all the way to hardcore heavyweights madball, h2o, cromags, black flag, sick of it all, agnostic front, and many many more. please help keep this going for our kids and to keep the legacy going!
