Slowly but surely...

Hello!

Well. First things first - we are making progess. It's slow, but it is happening.
That's the good news. The bad news is that a couple of things have meant that we will need to push the opening date back to August.

Basically, we are waiting for final plans from our architect. We then have to submit them to the Council to get permission to mess with things like electrics etc.

So, there we have it. We will open eventually - honest!

ps. Lady B has bought an angle grinder - be afraid, very afraid!

It's a demolition frenzy!

Well, I can honestly say that, by the time we open, I will truly know what is INSIDE the walls! And the ceiling.

So far we've found: ancient Italian newspaper
Similarly aged wallpaper
Windows IN THE CEILING (Explanations on a postcard?)
Beautiful brick areas framed and covered with plywood
That the bleeding and bruising never lasts long
That Jake cannae use a chainsaw (okay, in fairness, we discovered that in our own garden)
Handcrafted switchboxes, made from wood with beautiful joints. Queen B practically wet herself with appreciation

So now we need to get rid of it all! A transit will not suffice! I know we have great contacts but, unless anyone knows someone who has an army regiment, or hauler truck at their disposal... I guess we're gonna have to hire someone! (Not to mention someone with building savvy to reassure us that what we've found behind these walls is actually structurally sound!!!)

BUT IT'LL BE FINE!!!

And brilliant as well.

It has really begun!

My god. It's mad. It took until last night for it to sink in exactly what we have taken on... Once I'd recovered ;-) ...it all began to look even more exciting!

Here's a quick snapshot of the progress so far...

We started on the 1st of April with a building that looked like this...

By last night (thanks to the sterling efforts of Jake, Lady B, Pauline, Liz and myself) we had one that looked like this...

Look - no walls!

Now we need to put it all back together, nicely. I think that's the hard part. Now, if only I could get a flippin' joiner to call me back...

Welcome to Sith (shee) Networks

Opening in August 2008, Sìth Café will be a welcoming community cafe and arts space in Glasgow's West End. Sìth will be based on Dumbarton Road, less than two minutes from Partick Underground, and will be open from 10am - 10pm 7 days a week.
We want to create a real community atmosphere, so we're starting by spreading the world online! Get a profile, invite your friends, meet people you might become friends with and plan to meet up at the cafe when we open in the summer!

News from Sith Cafe

Cafe opening postponed

The Sìth Cafe opening has been changed from June to August.

Sorry for any disappointment! Basically, we are waiting for Council approval for work and things of that nature - all of which take much longer than you ever imagine they will...

Looking forward to seeing you in August!
