I know, I know… What’s the point of keeping a blog if I’m not going to update it on a regular basis! To be honest, the happenings behind the Café doors have not been very exciting. Really the biggest thing Angel and I have been doing is survive on pennies and dimes. Like everyone else, bills have become a big time pain in the ass for us. The fact is we are broke. Bone dry. We are about one month away from pushing our computer in a shopping cart with a sign reading, “Will work for electricity!”

Having to pay bills while staying true as an artist, is what Bullfighter’s Café is about, but honestly, it’s not fun writing about money problems. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not as if we are down on our luck on hard times. Luckily Angel and I have skill sets in an industry where we can find a job fairly easy, but the trouble is, we have become passionate about the Café and we don’t want to leave. After meeting so many tremendous people through the Café we have become hooked and want to continue building the Café to its full potential.

I mention this because, very soon, we are going to open up an online store to start selling T-shirts and other items. We are also looking into other money making ventures to help us keep the Café open, but more importantly, we’d like to start eating again - I’m starting to lose my sexy curves! Seriously, after a year of investing in the Café we can no longer fund the Café ourselves but before we close the doors we want to try everything we can to keep bringing Latino creativity to you, because we’ve only scratched the surface of what Latinos have to offer. We hope we can count on your continued support, so please visit the store and let us know what you think.

If you aren’t able to purchase anything from the store, then could you do us a favor? Could you run out an extension cord from your house and let us borrow some electricity for our computers? As Angel and I walk the streets it will be nice to get online once in awhile and check our email.

With gratitude,
Pablo
