So far I've been at one event. And mostly it's because it was in the area (though I did eventually decide to drive up to Springfield to be a part of the cruise). I keep making plans to go to other events (like the members meeting and Halloween Party), but the keep getting trumped by events with the business. On the 22nd, we are having 2 charity events and (BIG HAIRY ROCKTOBER CARNIVAL and a Spirit Night for a High School Sports Team, 20% of all sales(not that's sales, NOT profits) goes to charity). Between the two events I project to raise about $300-$400 for charity. But at the same time we will be bringing a WHOLE NEW crowd to the store to "discover us." The problem is I am a struggling business owner. If we run an event I HAVE to be there, there's no way around it. And on top of that our funds are REALLY, REALLY tight. We do not bring in enough money at the moment to pay our bills and so my other 9-5 job covers whatever bills that the business can not afford on it's own.

My point is, while I really, really want to be part of the family and come, hang out and chill. I fiscally can not. Until the business becomes self-sustaining, I'm just going to be a common poster on the forum. Also, I hope that Unclassified will use us as a resource. I've already let Paul know that we are more than willing to hold a spirit night for the cancer drive.


It's just how it is.
