In many ways today has been a good day. First and foremost, I bought a new car!
Also, it snowed - and the snow actually stuck. This is a Very Big Deal in Georgia.
(I’ll have more photos of the car once the snow melts.)
But then there’s also this email that came in just now…
As some of you are well aware, the city has decided we can not change the use of the building without strict criteria for parking.
The business demands over $10,000.00 per month to keep open.
As much as we want to honor our dates, it looks as if we can not afford more losses.
Therefore, it is with great regret that due to the meddling of the neighbor’s association, along with the ridiculous stubbornness of the City to work with us, we can not honor your date in 2008 for your event.I know I made verbal promises to you in the past, but without some drastic concessions from our landlord, I’m afraid there is nothing that we can do to accommodate any event past February.
Translation: Sex 2.0 has lost its venue.
*sigh*
I can’t deal with this right now. Someone else needs to deal with it. I already emailed the Sex 2.0 Google group about this, so hopefully someone(s) will step up soon.
Oh and by the way… the people responsible for Spring4th’s untimely closure? It’s the same assholes mentioned here.
Good job, Midtown. You’ve successfully driven another locally-owned small business out of your neighborhood.
