BeardCore is getting its own venue, bitch.
No, seriously. We are.
We've talked about it since way before BeardCore even existed, but now we have the chance to get our own venue. Actually, we already have the venue, but we don't really have the money needed to get it going properly.
This is where YOU come in. We're begging all of you to help us out. We're looking for this money to help with a bunch of startup costs that will allow us to get things fixed up and ready to go the way we want.
These funds will go toward:
- Fixing sound and lighting equipment.
- Buying new sound and lighting equipment.
- Making repairs and improvements to parts of the venue.
- Building some new walls and other stuff to make room for the recording studio, the photography studio, and practice spaces for your bands.
- Helping us pay the first few months worth of rent, electricity, etc, while we get shows booked and going
- Buying and upgrading recording equipment for the studio (yea, we're gonna have a studio there too)
- Building a better venue for your band and your fans.
What We Need & What You Get
- We're trying to raise at least $5,000 to cover the costs of leasing the venue and purchasing some of the equipment and furniture that is already there.
- The rest of the money is to help us upgrade and improve everything
- Every cent counts, so we've put together some cool THANK YOU packages for you.
- With each level of funding you give, you'll get all the stuff from the lower levels, PLUS something new for each level.
- THANK YOU packages range from a personalized "Thank You" note from our team, to FREE admission to all BeardCore events for life.
The Impact
So what will we do with this venue?
IMAGINE THIS:
- An all ages venue focused on local music and bands from our home towns
- A venue NOT focused on money. You know us. We love music. We live for music. Its what makes us who we are.
- A venue with a built in photography studio for live shots of your band performing and cheap rates for band promos.
- A venue with the built in ability to RECORD YOUR BAND LIVE at every show.
- A venue with the ability to BROADCAST YOUR SHOWS LIVE ONLINE.
- A studio with LOW RATES, QUALITY SOUND, and easy to work with producers.
- A place for local bands to sell CDs and merchandise
- A resource for bands to learn the business side of music
- A place for your band to practice that isn't your momma's basement.
- A venue that isn't run by assholes. Yea... imagine that one.
All of that. That is what we're trying to do.
