August 10th. Jimmy Davis concert on August 12th. This was a fundraiser for KUHS 97.9 FM, an arm of Low Key Arts. Ben E. Keith, our wonderful food distributor, sponsored the artist, donated lots of food, and we prepped it all out and had one hell of a party. It was the first time we had put a lot of people in this building, and it just felt great. We managed to raise some funds for community radio, and all the while having a great time. Even ended the night with a community member dancing on the bar. Talk about breaking it in. Also managed to track some sand from the back yard onto the brand new hardwoods, and dance the grains into the grain of the wood. One step forward on the old building look. Ha.
But the big milestone is: We DID IT!! Health Department, Fire Department, electric, plumbing, all that jazz. They let us in. They let us play. Honestly, I feel like the city is so proud of us. That building was on the way out, and now it is a gorgeous fancy looking establishment. Just in time for the party!!
