Dear Hot Ones,
As of right today, we have 42 days until the Stoke Yard Sauna Cooperative is live on Indigogo. A lot has happened since last week’s update, I’m happy to report that we hit some major milestones these past 7 days, including:
- Teke finished the script and locked down a kick-ass production company (Fly Over Films) for our campaign video.
- Rod reviewed our budget projections and checked all spreadsheet formulas to ensure that the amount we’re raising is the amount we need.
- Margie signed up to lead the charge on our outreach campaign.
- Max stepped up to own our permitting process to make sure we have everything we need from the city for our campaign events.
- Alex reviewed the business plan and worked with me to improve our membership package.
- Scott, Margie and I met yesterday morn to review our campaign event and conversion plan.
- Andrea and Max are helping us work out the details for our lease to operate Little Box.
- Gordon and Max are coming over tonight to get started on the new design for the sauna yard (i.e. Stoke Yard warming deck, cold plunge, showers, and stairs).
- Glenn signed up to produce a podcast series to bring local celebs and public figures into the campaign effort (first guest is Omar Ansari, owner of Surly!).
We finally got a picture of the 612 Sauna Vampire. (Look closely—and not to worry, Sauna Squire Max escaped the attack unharmed.)
JP was hit head-on by this mini van while riding his bike home from work on Tuesday. He rolled over the hood, windshield and roof and somehow to lived to tell about it. [Apparently it ain’t my time to go yet… got work to do—sauna work!]
Gordon got a sweet new tat. Unfortunately, however, this puts him out of bench rotation for at least the weekend. (In case you ever wondered why I don’t have any tats, now you know ; )
JP is making full use of his new space for this delightful little conspiracy…
