Hanta House: crossroads
Posted: Mon Nov 01, 2010 5:35 pm
Circumstances have put me in a position that forces me to consider abandoning the Georgetown warehouse space that has been the nucleus of over six years of mayhem, creativity, and my own version of domestic bliss.
It's sheltered far flung Ootmiks, hosted transcontinental circus performers, puppet shows, square dances, death metal/experimental noise festivals, indoor fireworks, paintball, throwing weapons, and other ballistic festivities, lego races, wind-up sumo battle bots, and any number of dirty, sparky, noisy projects besides.
Many a newb has bloodied their first knuckles, changed their first oil, and enjoyed a first post ride beer here.
I've had too many amazing experiences here to count, and it makes me sad to see it on the cusp of transition.
That said, I'd throw this out there, as a hail mary to any PNW folks that might be looking for just such a ship to captain in my staid.
Even if the space isn't gutted and returned to the property owner to re-lease as he sees fit, my time here is ending. I'd love to hand the reins over to an enthusiastic new team or individual that will keep the grimy blood of Georgetown flowing.
We have three vacancies to fill by December 1, with myself taking the fourth spot until a new group is in place and settles on a new lease holder. Otherwise the big brooms come out, and we finally see what's in all those corners...
Conversely, a single soul could build a decent shop or storefront out of the space, depending on their ambitions.
Current terms put the total monthly expenses at about $2k, including basic utilities (except heat).
I'm happy to provide more details and pics, etc. to any interested parties.
(I feel rather like Han Solo, selling the Millenium Falcon, here, oof!)
