Hey Johnny,

So yeah, I just have to publically say--you were so right about that studio guy. Wowsers. He talked great at first, but all the trouble started when we asked for a contract before providing the deposit. ohmy.gif let's just say... that didn't go over so well...
All of a sudden, he starts retracting these things he's agreed to verbally... huh.gif
Now I have two crazy desperate emails in my in-box, and he doesn't know it yet, but we're totally walking.
I just am so thankful though, because yesterday we were ready to roll with it. And then last night we just prayed again that if this was or was not the way God wanted us to move, he would make that clear. I checked my email right after that--and there was the first big red flag. At that point it was like "ok we may have our answer" wink.gif and it just went downhill from there...

I'm so thankful we're not out our deposit, and that we're not locked into a lease with this guy (even if it is only 6 months...) so very very thankful.

Anyway, I have to go to work--working late today so I probably won't be able to be back on till tonight.

Just wanted to say "thanks for the warning" we totally see what you saw now... but man did the guy put it on thick at our initial meetings... tongue.gif

I guess it's back to the drawing board for the studio now wink.gif

Glad the Lord moved you in the right direction.
And I hope you can find a solution soon to your needs.

Have fun working today!

It's an inside thing.

En = Enstrom Studios.

I used to shoot for them when I really needed money (before the biz really took off).
They keep bugging me to work for them, and Christina wanted to assist me but I did not have a lot of jobs for her so I got En's in touch with her...

And now that her business is starting to flourish, they are trying to get her to work for them more than she agreed.

That about sums it up... wink.gif


AutMarie--yeah the space really is lovely, we were pretty excited about it... ah well rolleyes.gif

Thanks everyone... this has been a great reminder for us of the importance of not being to fast in our business decisions... Like I said earlier, I'm really thankful it wasn't a HARD lesson wink.gif

So if any OSPer's want to start a 'legit' co-op, let me know. smile.gif

And yes Johnny urock.gif

I'm in! I've always wanted to create an artist co-op.
We should talk.

And I really don't rock, but I do roll quite easily ('cuz I'm getting chubby...)
