Quoted from SquidVicious

Did Gerald open the doors on the museum ? I know he had the one place where the auction took place and then another on the danforth but I dont think that one ever opened up .. could be wrong

To be honest I haven't heard much myself. He said he was going forward with the barcade idea, which I believe is the right choice, but I guess he has been really busy since.

Looking at their facebook page it looks like they are still looking for a location.

Also wasn't there that craiglist or Kijiji ad where there was an auction being held at one of Gerald's whorehouses?  Did anyone go?

Quoted from Sparky

Tell you what Chris... find me at least 100 members that commit to pay 25$ a month and I would open something like the Church of the Silverball. I think that would cover the cost of a small venue with rent and utilities. It would be free to use for all members and guests would pay a 10$ entrance fee.

Any takers?

(No worries... I really don't expect this to go anywhere...)

I sent you $20 a while ago use that as seed money  .

IMO...

Build it for yourself and then share it with other people and forget renting.  

As soon as I find a house with some land, the first thing going up is my 1500 square foot outbuilding for nothing but pins.  It will take me years to fill, but if anyone wants to use the space or just drop by and play some pin or whatever it will be open to everyone, within reason of course, I won't be giving anyone else a key to get in as an example.  

It's the exact reason the Church exists.  Mike needed a place to expand, he found his current place, bought it and used it for his purposes.  The fact he now makes some cash of it is now a bonus, I don't think the original idea was to have something to open to the public and use as a Family Fun center of sorts.

As much as I agree with that, you need one single thing to do it...

Money.

Mine all went in what you are reading right now.

Sounds like a neat place-I'll have to check it out when out there this fall for the Microsoft PDC.  It sounds like Shorty's also has a good lineup.

Is this what you are looking for Adam?? A bit of a commute for you, but about 20 minutes from my place.  Believe me, I am tempted...

It's 175,000 out of my price range, but yea I will have that exact setup within the next year or two.
