Yesterday, we went out street teaming. Me, Natalie, and Missy covered several streets, and while did not sell any tickets, we did get a $10 donation. Most of the people were pretty nice, although there were several people that despite being home and being seen, refused to come to the door, which was not nice (confession time: I do it too). There was one man that said he had lived in the area his entire life, but before we remembered to ask if he would like to do an oral history, he had gone back in and we had moved down a house or two. There was a sub shop, Charlie's that we put a flyer in with Prof. King's office number in it, if they wanted to call and get tickets or more information. Outside, we had our only really negative encounter, when one woman cussed us out.
Overall, the people were fairly nice and interested in the idea. Several of the people remembered the club from the previous owners and had used to take their kids there to eat. It seemed that those most interested were planning on bringing the whole family and possibly using the opportunity to catch up with their kids. we took a few pictures (of the man that we want to send a letter for oral history, with his dog Charlie, and the family of a woman that will be bar tending at the event, who may want to bring her 5 kids).
The club itself seems nice, if a little small. I did not get to see the larger space we will be holding the event in, but seeing the space gave me a better idea of the event and how to use the space to our best advantage.
