How to act at a space like the Belfry
-Isn’t it great spaces like this exist? Yah! And they only do because you pay your way at the door. Sure, sometimes you really did forget money before you went out, but I find that hard to believe. If you pretend or don’t want to give money how can spaces exist? You’ll pay a million dollars for your sneakers but are trying to sneak in the back of our space? Not cool.
-Please don’t write graffiti on our building, or our neighbor’s, or on the street or sidewalk. Not trying to squelch your creativity here, but it attracts bad attention to our space and we’re blamed by the neighborhood for attracting “the wrong kind of people”. Go on over to a big box store and beautify that.
-If you are under 21, please don’t drink here. I know it’s tempting since your parents aren’t looking and we’re not really carding, but do you know what could and has happened other places? You’ll get in a car wreck or puke on your friend’s parent’s carpet, they’ll figure out where you were and blame us for supplying you with liquor. And then we’ll get shut down and there will be one less cool place to listen to music. Damn. Do you want that to happen? Think it through. Go elsewhere to do your illegal underage drinking/drug doing.
-Oh yeah! Don’t smoke pot in our space or do coke in the bathroom. Not only do we not want to get busted, but we only have one bathroom and there’s always a line for those who really do need to pee!
-Please clean up after yourself to the best of your ability. There are strategically placed garbage and recycling bins. Get it? If you don’t clean up after yourself, we have to. And we’d rather be dancing.
-Please don’t be loud and disrupt our neighbors. We try to plan events to be done at a semi-reasonable hour, but sometimes we just can’t stop dancing, you know? So please don’t scream a lot outside. ALSO, please do not pee outside. Thanks.
-If you need to smoke, go outside. Did I even need to say that? And put your butts in the asstray.
-Please don’t get drunk at our space and drive home. Not cool.
-If someone tries to talk to you, don’t be too cool for school. We try to be friendly. Have you heard? Being nice is the new punk.
-Please respect our policies. We are not trying to be fun-stoppers or squares. We are just trying to cover our asses.
-If you are racist, sexist, homophobic or anything else close-minded, please stay away.
-If you want to get involved, do it! The more the merrier. Just talk to a member or come to a meeting.
-Close the door behind you. Were you born in a barn?
-Please don’t steal anything from anyone or the space. We worked hard to get our space where it is, please leave it as you found it.
-Feel free to stop by at a work day to beautify the space.
