friends, family, and all that have been part of our events - we’re asking for your support to help keep us going.

we’re asking for assistance in helping us stay afloat while we wait for our final permits to be approved and prepare our space for inspections. we’ve been self-funding this project for 11 months now, relying on our parties to help cover rent and additional expenses while we go through the long and unpredictable process that so many small business owners face when trying to open in San Francisco. it’s a reality that many never make it to opening day, something we’ve recently felt the weight of ourselves. but with support from our community, we believe soon we can open our doors and bring this vision to life.

as we move closer to being fully open to the public, we’ve had to pause all activity inside the space to focus on completing the final stages of preparation and compliance. this pause means we’ve temporarily lost the main way we’ve been able to support our operating costs, leaving us in a tough spot as we continue investing in upgrades, inspections, and getting everything ready for opening.

funds raised will go directly towards:

• covering rent until we’re open

• final inspection and permit costs

• utilities for the space

• compliance upgrades to meet all safety and regulatory requirements

• final cosmetic upgrades to make the space ready and welcoming for our community

there are many ways to support us beyond direct donations! without this support, it will be very difficult for us to move forward, but every bit of help can makes a huge difference. you can help by boosting and attending our relocated parties, purchasing our remaining copies of soulseek magazine or the rest of our current merch stock, sharing this post and our GoFundMe with others who may be able to contribute, helping us amplify this with local news outlets, or reaching out with any additional fundraising ideas you might have. every little bit of support brings us closer to opening our doors and sharing this space with the community.
