[Blacklabcollective] Money from shows

[Megan Speers]

I'm off mon-fri all month so pretty much whenever works for me. I think
I've made my thoughts known as far as the money stuff goes. As it stands we
are just scraping by and able to pay rent and I think until we have
alternative sources of income we need the money from door. I don't like the
idea of no BYOB, i get it in the context of noise fest liquor license but
in general I feel like it'd make it feel like more of a bar and less of a
diy space.... Anyways we can talk in person at the meeting! I have opinions
tho
