2A/Lady Stardust/Treehouse Staff Fundraiser

Greetings, friends of 2A (this includes Lady Stardust, the Treehouse)-


I know we are all going through a tough time. All are affected, some more than others…some much, much  more. Some of these folks that are badly affected are those in the service industry. Because of the crushing insanity of it all, MANY of our employees (our family!) Have spent DAYS, with no success,  on the government site trying to sign up for unemployment. It is frustrating and downright scary, to be honest. We are ALL out of work. Entirely. 


If you’ve been to 2A, you probably know how great it is, and how wonderful the staff is. I am proud to call these folks my friends and second family. If you’ve followed me or the Treehouse over the years, you know the respect I have for the coolest corner bar on the planet. I had my first beer at 2A in 1986. Myself and Donovan have been there 25 years as of March for him, and April for me. 2A means a LOT to everybody there, and hopefully to YOU. 


I honestly can’t tell you how many times people have told me “I met my wife/husband here”(I usually respond with ‘so you’re here to kill me now?’ )We have watched our regulars marry, have kids, and we’ve watched those kids grow up. We’ve tried to help some through divorces, and many, many breakups! We have shared the good times and the bad times together. Wherever your ‘local’ is, I think you’ll understand what I’m saying. It’s not just serving a drink….


It’s hard to speak for everyone, but I think my co-workers will agree. We love 2A and can’t wait until it opens again. Not just for the income…but for the friendship and camaraderie. And YOU are included in that. I’ve had many customers become lifelong friends. That’s for damn sure. 


Since there is no end in sight of this downtime, I guess what I’m trying to say, is, if you are in the position to help these incredible folks…even the slightest bit…it would sure be greatly appreciated. Some have families to support. New babies at home. It’s a scary time…so, if there was ever a time 2A was there for you in a time of need, please consider donating. And when this all ends…man, oh, man…we are gonna open with a BANG! 


I could go on and on and on (which I tend to do) but I will cut myself off now. Thanks for reading this, and considering donating. We REALLY love you!
