We are half way through our week of extra Givebutter donations for new monthly donors, and are not getting much movement!

If 1/2 of our followers donated JUST $5 A MONTH today, we would get almost $5000 from givebutter and literally NEVER need to do another donation ask.

If you can swing $5 a month, you can know that it is making A DIRECT DIFFERENCE for your community!

Give you monthly donation at the Givebutter link in our bio, then swing by for dinner on us!!! Such a small thing can do so much for so many!

We have had a GREAT week! Thanks to for having us out again!

for your inspiring set and being so cool!!

for an awesome show! Fun to meet so many cool new folks AND shift genres up a bit! We had a blast!

Sales are UP every single week, HOWEVER we still need some community support to get us through! This wee our donation platform is giving us $10 for every person who signs up as a monthly donor for just $5 or more! This is the week to make your money count a little more!!

You never have to pay to eat or be in our space- but if you have a little extra to keep us going-we could really put it to good use! Please use the Givebutter link in the bio!

If you can’t donate please share, like, and comment to help us reach more people!

We can’t do this work without you!!

Thank you for all that you do!

We just found out that we will have a very special guest at this week’s open mic!!

will be joining us straight from New York City to finish off our evening with his solo set of protest songs-fit for the times!

You might know Thomas as Fox in The Warriors, Windows in John Carpenter’s The Thing, four seasons of Oz, acting alongside Al Pacino or Joan Jett, or from his band !

He is only here for the one night, and this is your chance to perform alongside a seasoned (and famous) performer! Sign ups are at 6pm, you will want to show up early for this one!

If you are not a performer-this is a great night to come check us out, meet a great actor and songwriter, have some food and drink- all while DIRECTLY supporting free and low cost meals and events for your neighbors!

May Day is here again! What are you doing this year to make the world what you want it to be?

If you are looking for a place to support, a place to build, a place to come as you are…. Look no further!

Join us post protest, join us if you are unable to protest, join us in making sure our neighbors have equitable access to food, art, music, and community.

We are still needing to raise about $1600 between now and Monday for our rent…. And today is a great day to show up!!

Swing by, have some food, have a drink! Knowing that every dollar provides free and low cost meals for your neighbors.

If you are able to donate-now is the time we can really use it and you can find links in our bio!

Come for the vibes, stay for the community!

Tonight! A May Day Eve karaoke and crafts event.

We will be doing protest themed karaoke-and the “best” protest song of the night will get a gift card for Makin’ Groceries that can be used for events, beverages, and food.

We will also have our favorite crafter making protest signs with people! We have the supplies-just bring your vision (and a donation if you are able- it’s always pay what you can).

May Day is a historical day of protest for labor movements, (Im)migrants rights movements, and civil rights movements. If you are headed to a protest tomorrow, are just curious about the history of the day, and/or are looking for community and conversation, this is the place to be!

We are still in the final countdown to pay rent-it’s a great day to support!

Come build with us!

Come for the solidarity, stay for the community!
