An Update:

We haven’t forgotten you, our beautiful community. We haven’t forgotten how well you loved us, how you allowed us to use our space so beautifully. We continue to be heartbroken, maybe more so as door after door continues to close.

After months of back and forth with our lawyers, we realize we will receive no compensation for being forced out of the space. It is now listed as available for rent. The description is “excellent condition,” which is galling. We received a vacant, abandoned building, transformed it into a stunning venue, and now they get to have it. For free. The injustice is infuriating.

We’ve been looking for new places to land. We’ve met with agents, landlords. We’ve seriously considered four separate spaces. We’ve spent money on inspections, lease negotiations, all for it to go nowhere.

I look around at all the vacant space in our city, space owned by non-local landlords who don’t care if community exists, don’t care about the effect their crumbling building has on the surrounding neighborhood. I think about the imbalance of power, the inertia of local government to solve this problem (I’ve complained directly to the city). I’m devastated.

If we had failed, that would have been one thing. If we hadn’t been able to make it financially, hadn’t been able to pivot, couldn’t dream up a venue nice enough for what our community needed, I could have accepted that. But to build something SUCCESSFUL, to prove to the world that community-first CAN be a successful business model, and then to have a rich investor TAKE IT FROM YOU- I don’t know what to do with that.

I miss my community. I miss having a place and an event for us to gather around. I miss a project for us to work on together- storytelling, community theater, concerts, comedy, drag.

Fingers crossed for a new space to appear- affordable, local, with honest landlords and the chance to make the space our own. So much love, friends. So. Much. Love.

Before The Country Club on Hampton was real- back when it was just an idea without a name or a home- *this* was what I knew it would be. A gathering space of community and pride, a place where everyone was welcome, where dreams come true.

Thank you to everyone who believed in this show, who came out on a Wednesday to cheer us on. What an unforgettable night!

Community starts with my community- my kids.

I can't tell you how cool it is to own a venue where my kids have such ownership. They've painted those walls, they've cleaned those chairs, they've scrubbed those toilets. My kids know how to help themselves in the kitchen, know how to turn on a mic to sing on the stage, know how to get up in front a room of strangers and tell their story.

The Country Club on Hampton is a place for EVERYONE, starting with the most important people on Earth.

Come be a part of our community. Tickets to all events are in the bio.

"Thank you for sharing!"
"She's so bright and captivating in stage, loved her!"
"Because I love her and she is my best friend."

If we've said it once, we've said it a thousand times- storytelling voter fraud is not discouraged at East Side Eight. Bring those friends and have them vote as often as you'd like. It *might* just end in victory.

Plus, Rachel's story was beauiful and sincere and inspiring. I'm glad she won (or shared the winning!).
