AUSTIN: WE MUST HELP SAVE THE PARLOR
Donation protected
Hello, Austin (and everyone who wishes for Austin to continue having great bars)!
My name's Scott Wampler, and I'm here today to raise money for one of the best dive bars/pizza joints in the city: The Parlor, located at 4301 Guadalupe St, down in Hyde Park.
Times being what they are, small bars and businesses are struggling to stay afloat. They're not getting the help they need, and takeout orders can only alleviate so much of the problem. When I heard The Parlor was in dire straits, I felt compelled to do something: I've been coming to this bar for a decade! I've spent many a boozy night there (indeed, The Parlor offers some of the best drink prices in the city), I've conducted interviews and held meetings there, I found my favorite pizza in Austin there (the Gwyneth, on french bread, add pepperoni)...hell, I even once saw an "amateur magician" open mic there, and lemme tell ya - I ain't ever gonna forget that.
Austin is overflowing with bars of all shapes, sizes and temperaments. The Parlor's long been my favorite because you are generally guaranteed to "see some shit" while you're there, but not in a "some dude might get stabbed in the parking lot" way - in a fun way! The bathrooms ALONE are worth saving as far as the Austin barscape goes. Friendly staff, great drink prices, awesome food, dark inside even in broad daylight AND it has a patio that seems custom-designed for overhearing other people's drunken, weird-ass conversations. God, I miss it.
In short, The Parlor is an amazing place, has been serving Austin for decades, and it's time for us to step up and give back. I don't want to see this place go under. My friends don't want to see this place go under. If you have an intention of ever visiting Austin, trust me when I say that YOU don't want to see this place go under. We all want to see The Parlor make it to the other side of this thing, and today I'm asking you to pitch in a few bucks to make that happen and save this cherished drinking spot. Whatever you can throw in will help!
I will personally deliver the final amount raised by this GoFundMe to the good folks down at the Parlor, and post receipts on Twitter (I'm @ScottWamplerBMD) so you know I'm not some sort of freakish vulture attempting to grift money off the back of a beloved dive bar/pizza place. I am confident the Parlor crew will appreciate every cent.
Oh, and if you'd like to place a pick-up order or buy a gift card from the Parlor in the meantime, here's a direct link to their website: https://www.theparloraustin.com/
Thank you for your consideration.
