It is ironic that a place called Darwin's is begging for help. I don't think that anon @ 3:07 would lift a finger (let alone donate a dollar) to any of the chain establishments should they want to do the same thing.<br /><br />Facts are facts: unless this was a natural disaster or terrorism, for profit businesses -- especially those in business for a lengthy period of time -- generally should have the funds on hand to support any kind of operational expenses, which include relocating and/or expanding. This isn't done to support cancer research, so I definitely agree that it raises one eyebrow.Coolionoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-77638337382498727382016-12-22T00:57:13.258-05:002016-12-22T00:57:13.258-05:00Darwins is more than a bar,more than a restaurant,...Darwins is more than a bar,more than a restaurant,more than a even an above average music room....Darwins is the Heart of American culture... a rare breed of special folk that have touched the lives of the young and old....Faithful patrons will folow these dear people who have sweat and sacrificed to keep the music flowing and serve some great hand prepared food. I've introduced Darwins to a dozen or so people...we call it our happy place. Always greeted by big smiles and then never ever disappointed by the National and local talent provided ..I always wondered how they did it? Somehow they managed to capture the pulse of humanity in that tiny beloved shack...and now with this new opportunity we will do everything we can to support the owners. We watched young music artists take shape..grow up and succeed because of the nurturing music community at Darwins...we feel our time there has paid great dividends to our soul...I hope others will join us and realize that a few dollars to this good cause is worth as much as any therapy appointment..Nancy and Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-68620598900252489762016-12-21T16:06:10.771-05:002016-12-21T16:06:10.771-05:00Come on!

They run on tight margins and without a little help from friends and fans for just the basic equipment needed to get up and running in a new location, this cultural icon would likely be forced to close. I am happy to contribute to keep them going!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-57733814667590242632016-12-21T15:07:26.648-05:002016-12-21T15:07:26.648-05:00It is very clear that those who find it appalling ...It is very clear that those who find it appalling to ask your FAITHFUL PATRONS to help out in making a better and more updated and more professional venue to bring in such great National and Global acts like Mudcat, Little G Weevil, The Casanovas,Bill Sheffield, Bobby Messano, Truett Lollis, Sal Padillo, Laura Simon and the plethora of others to make a very long list short... and helped several local young performers get a start of their own... allowing them to use the venue to practice and just find somewhere that stuffy arrogant know it all "Won't be customers" anyway... to make believe that YOUR opinion even counts to those of us who are humbly willing to help make a place you might even be uncomfortable hanging around in a room FULL of heart warming and loving REAL patrons.... You may go now ;) Darwin's doesn't NEED YOU... No one wants your money anyhow.... Go to another venue.... these owners took a crap ass building in God awful city of Marietta dealing with the biggest dirtiest bureaucrats in the state and still turned it into a respected name.... You know so much about running a music venue? What is the name of YOUR bar/venue? Riiiigght... That's what I thought ;) No one here is trying to bank money to make a proper venue... <br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-77638578060425145932016-12-21T14:09:48.738-05:002016-12-21T14:09:48.738-05:00Steve's loved, loved, loved live music but the...Steve's loved, loved, loved live music but the layout was not very functional for it. I can see why you'd need to crowd-source a capital budget for a refit, but you've GOT to do it right. For one that means not treating the funds as a personal piggy bank (which I've suspected when other DIY music joints in the region went the crowd-fund route) and being realistic about what you NEED to succeed. You don't have to open your books, but a little transparency will build goodwill and ultimately repeat biz.jeff a. taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12318074644131544308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-6688524014255464992016-12-21T00:08:26.558-05:002016-12-21T00:08:26.558-05:00I have no problem with them opening a go fund me a...I have no problem with them opening a go fund me account.
