If you did'nt see my posting in the Gypsy Night thread, the OtherSide Coffeehouse has a new name, Filter, and (apparently) a new owner.
Laura responded to my posting with the fact that she didn't like the direction the new owner wanted to take the place, so Gypsy Night has been cancelled. (You don't have to believe me, just check the posting in the GN thread)
I know a lot of people from AM had performed at that place. Just wanted to give the necessary heads-up on this.

Mon, April 21, 2008 - 2:04 PMOK...what's a new direction for a cafe? How far in another direction could a cafe go?
ummmmmmmm.... IT'S A CAFE FOR GOD'S SAKE!! Hey maybe they could try something different like serve coffee drinks and have poetry readings...err whatever.
"that place is dead anyway"
Thanks for the notice love.

Mon, April 21, 2008 - 4:21 PMTrust me, it's a lot harder and more expensive than it looks (from someone who's seen too many places opena nd close within a few months due to mismanagement). -

Re: Gypsy Night at Filter (formerly Other Side) cancelled - for now
Mon, April 21, 2008 - 5:12 PMno wallflowers here! im a little on the spicy side today :)
ha ha!
its my opinion that you never know unless you try, and comments about my optimistic (and perhaps ignorant) career dreams from negatitve nancy's just piss me off.
but no harm done, ive worked in restaurants for so long i definitely know all about the "reality".
so i know this is a tribe about atash maya but all the posts are about upcoming gigs and quick messages saying "hi".
BORING
lets have an actual conversation, and since its my idea i choose ME for the topic.
if i had a restaurant, what would i call it?

Mon, April 21, 2008 - 9:34 PMSooz, that's a great name!
And I was really bummed to hear about the Other Side 'cause I bought the perfect pants at Melo's close-out sale. I was going to wear them to the next Gypsy Night. So Medi, if you open a restaurant, I promise I'll wear them to your grand opening. And no, you haven't seen them on me cause I haven't worn them out in public yet.

Re: Gypsy Night at Filter (formerly Other Side) cancelled - for now
Tue, April 22, 2008 - 7:33 AMJeez, I didn't mean to create such a stink regarding restaurants. I was just trying to paint a pragmatic and realistic picture!
Running a restaurant/coffeehouse/any business is not something to be taken lightly. It takes a lot of $$$ to get something like that up and running, and then you have to get the public to part with their $$$. Enough to make the whole thing worthwhile. Right now, people are less inclined to part with their "discretionary" income than ever.
Well, if you want to make a serious go of it, then, go for it! -

Re: Gypsy Night at Filter (formerly Other Side) cancelled - for now
Wed, April 23, 2008 - 11:44 AMI would hate to let Gypsy Night go without much more than a whimper. So I was thinking of possible alternate venues this morning. One that came to mind is the large patio outside the Starbucks in the Uptown Center (that’s the shopping center in Hillcrest on University Ave with the Ralphs and Trader Joe’s - the patio is directly across from those two stores). I understand that the patio is a “public area” even though the tables and chairs belong to Starbucks. But surely Starbucks wouldn’t object to having a large number of potential customers on the patio - having fun, making music, dancing and attracting other customers.
There is another group that meets there on the first Friday of every month so that day is probably not an option - but we weren’t locked in concrete for that day anyway, were we? As long as we don’t pick a Friday that conflicts with an ETR night. I guess the questions that would need to be resolved would be: Is it okay with the shopping center and is having entertainment okay?
