HELP SAVE THE BOTTOM LINE:
A note to friends of the Bottom Line from
Allan Pepper and Stanley Snadowsky:


The doors may soon close on a thirty year legacy. 

The Bottom Line has been presenting live music since February 12, 1974, and is owned and operated by Allan Pepper and Stanley Snadowsky, who have been friends since childhood. The Bottom Line is unique because it is a "mom & pop store" amidst a crowded field of conglomerates and corporations. Our main commodity in the club has always been and will always be the music. 

The Bottom Line has always been, and still is, run by Allan & Stanley, who take a great pride in what they do. They always have and still love the music. 

The problem is as follows: 

Even before the terrorist attacks on the World Trader Center, the nation was already feeling the downturn in the economy. Our business, along with so many other small businesses, has not been able to recover since the tragedy of September 11th. Attendance to shows has declined. In addition, our customers are feeling economic stress, our bills have been multiplying, and we have found ourselves substantially behind in our rent. Our landlord, New York University, has started eviction proceedings. 

During our negotiations with New York University to resolve this situation, the Bottom Line has presented several different proposals to pay our past due rent, while at the same time keeping current with a new, higher rent proposed by NYU. Unfortunately, NYU has not been open to negotiating a long-term solution to our mutual problem. We want to pay off our debt to NYU, but to do so we need to remain in business. To stay in business, we need a promise from NYU that, if we pay off the rental arrears, they won't evict the Bottom Line. 

Unless we can sway NYU to give us this basic assurance, we won't be able to take the steps necessary to save the Bottom Line. If you'd like to help, here's what you can do. 

Let NYU know how important the Bottom Line is to the metropolitan area and what a loss it would be if the city was downsized by another landmark - particularly if you are an alumnus/a of NYU. Send a note to John Beckman assistant vice president of the Office of Public Affairs at john.beckman@nyu.edu or Lynne Brown, the VP for University Relations and Public Affairs at NYU at lynne.brown@nyu.edu. Please send us a copy at SaveBLT@aol.com - and please forward this message to your friends. 

Please support The Bottom Line now. Do not put off seeing a show today because we may not have a tomorrow. 

You can e-mail us at: SaveBLT@aol.com 

Thank you for your support.

If your sister or your brother were stumbling on their last mile, in a self-inflicted exile, 
You'd hope they'd meet a humble friend. And I hope someday that the best of Falstaff's planners 
Give me seven half-built manors, where half-dreams may dream without end

I just received another track for the tribute cd. Fantastic job Kellie
Lin, just beautiful! 7 in the can... give me 5 more and we'll wrap this
project.

Bye the way, I hope to see some of you at the Newport Opera House on Nov.
7th. It's a nice venue (of course I'm biased because I was born and raised
here!)

Subject: Gillian Welch Concert, Pittsburgh. Free to volunteers

Hello All, 
I'm volunteer coordinator for Calliope, the folk music
society of Pittsburgh. We are looking to get some new
faces to volunteer for the upcoming Gillian Welch
concert this Saturday Sept 20th. Its at the Carnegie
Lecture hall here in Pittsburgh and as far as I know
the concert has completely sold out. 
So if you live in the area or nearby and want to come
and volunteer please email me off list,
loberant@yahoo.com and I'll hook you up. volunteers
get to see teh whole concert, they  might miss a bit
of the opening act though. The tickets (before they
sold out) were about 30 to 40 dollars so its a great
deal for about an hours worth of work. 
Thanks, 
Simona Loberant
