Today is Friday the 22nd. The Friday before Christmas. Everyday Joe's closes at 6PM today. This is due to not being able to find a sound tech around any holiday. Joe's is often thought of as a volunteer powered coffee house. What is often over-looked is we are also a volunteer powered concert venue. Joe's can seat up to 225 people and has hosted world touring acts. There are shows almost every Friday and Saturday night. All this is done through volunteers.
Volunteer sound techs who set up the stage, do sound check, and mix the board through the show. Joe's is so thankful to have them. But it is often more challenging to find sound people than to find people to make coffee. So come the holidays we have learned it is better to simply not book any shows. And we also know that without a show there is not reason to be open.
Today we close at six and our coffee making machines will not be turned on again until Tuesday the 26th. So we get a nice long weekend. We hope you all have a Great Christmas and an amazing Boxing Day.
