Julia: Hello friends. This month, shit has been getting real over at Val’s HQ! We’re in negotiations with a potential landlord over a space that Clover and I both strongly feel is perfect for us. We met with two liquor license attorneys (a specialty that exists in PA to navigate people through the ridiculous process of getting a liquor license here) in order to get the ball rolling on purchasing a license. We have also started to get real about financing the license, i.e. nailing down a number in terms of what we can get as a bank loan and seriously pursuing friends-and-family loans to help us cover the gargantuan cost of the license. (BTW, if you or someone you know might want to invest in Val’s Lesbian Bar with a personal loan…hit me up!) So it seems appropriate that this month, we get a little lesson from Clover on runnin’ the numbers!
