A Few Spiderhouse Photos

I didn't want to overwhelm the last post with pictures, so I'm making a second one.  Stop complaining- you know you looooooove us and our pictures.  

We met at Spiderhouse today, as I have already babbled about.  This place is so, so cool.  I have been going there for years for parties, meet ups, dates, girls nights, and just to have a beer or coffee out on their patio.  It's my very favorite place here, and every time I have a friend in from out of town, I take them there.  I have taken countless pictures there over the years, and have posted them everywhere.  Here are a few I got today at "The Chapel", which is a staging area that kind of rules there.  

I love this city!

Exciting News!

We're just back from a meeting with the lovely ladies at Spiderhouse Cafe.  They will be putting on a Valentine's Day show with the lovely Jolie Goodnight, and have asked us to cater the event!  Nothing is set in stone with our part yet, but it looks pretty hopeful, and they are also considering ordering from us on a regular basis.  There is a meeting with the managers and owners tomorrow, and we will definitely keep you posted.

On February 14th, there will be a cabaret with Jolie Goodnight.  Doors open at 7 and the show starts at 8.  Advance Tickets are going for $25.  There will be food included in the price.  There is a Sweetheart Special for $35, and at the door, tickets are $40.  So you should get on in there, or call them, and get those tickets before they're gone!

On the 15th, you can see our lovely friend Lacy Doll, along with other sexy ladies, at the Bat City Bombshells burlesque show, also at Spiderhouse, and we will likely be there as well, selling our goodies (NOT THOSE GOODIES!!  I mean our sweet treats.  NOT THAT KIND OF SWEET TREAT.  Gosh, stop being pervy...).  Tickets are $7 presale and $12 seated, and then the day of the show, they are $10, $15 for seated tickets.  Get your tickets at ticketfly.com

Both events sound SO SO fun!  Hope to see you all there!!

Dreamin

With all of the exciting things going on with Holly's Pie Hole, I can't help but let my dreams get away from me.  I've been thinking a lot about having an actual store.  I can't wait for that.  I've been thinking about different ways to decorate, and I keep going back and forth between a 1950s theme, 1960s, or more modern.  Either way, it'll be fun.  I just don't want it to be TOO text book, you know?

I definitely want a glass display case, and I want to paint it, but switch up the designs we paint on it monthly, or maybe with the seasons or holidays.

I want to make pom pom garlands and felt heart garlands.

I want a huge chalkboard with our menu in our own handwriting.

I'd like a little section with tables outside so people can enjoy their food outside.  I'd also like to offer coffee.  That would be SO COOL.  There are a lot of bakeries here, and none of them have much personality.  I don't mean to sound catty or mean, but they don't have the amount of personality that I imagine Holly's Pie Hole to have.  And a lot of the bakeries I've been to don't offer coffee.  That is a must!

I also imagine what kind of music we would play.  We both like such a variety, I think it would be cool to have a random Spotify playlist just going with more chilled older stuff from The Hollies (ha!), to 90s shoegaze (for which I have a special place in my heart always and forever), to some old ska, some 80s new wave, newer indie rock, to her band, Lucid Dementia. Oh, and of course, some Meowzar :)

And while a store front is a long ways away realistically, I can't wait to see what Holly and I can come up with to make our bakery even more unique and reflect our personalities.  And I can't wait for you all to visit!
