Last October, co-owner Adam Hatch (who owns the business with Drew Bennett, Sam White of Ramen Shop, Alex Maynard and several other partners) \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13887215/end-of-an-era-oakland-venue-starline-social-club-is-on-the-market\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told KQED\u003c/a> that during some years, Starline didn’t make a profit. The owners quietly put the building and business up for sale in August 2020, but it ultimately didn’t sell. Their decision to reopen, their press release says, is a result of receiving Small Business Administration loans and applying for a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13895993/save-our-stages-svog-delayed-music-venues-grant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shuttered Venue Operators Grant\u003c/a> from the federal government.

How do we get the internet back on?” asked former assistant bar manager Jordan Martich, who was let go in March 2020 and briefly hired back when Starline reopened for takeout.

Two other former workers described a similar dynamic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite complaints about management, many of the former employees said they continued to work at Starline because the staff felt like a family, and they believed in the vision of an inclusive community space. As Porter, who relocated to Austin during the pandemic, said, “Starline was awesome. What it represented for Oakland—even if behind the scenes things weren’t as congruent—I hope that vision can come true.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Some Former Staff Decide to Move On\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Two weeks after the reopening announcement caused a stir, co-owner Drew Bennett addressed the controversy. “We are internally addressing the issues that have been raised and are working with our staff,” he told KQED on May 12, but declined to answer a series of detailed questions about what the co-op structure would look like or what the financial obligations for worker-owners would entail. He said the ownership has been exploring several financial models since December, including an \u003ca href=\"https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/esop.asp#:~:text=An%20employee%20stock%20ownership%20plan%20(ESOP)%20is%20an%20employee%20benefit,benefits%2C%20making%20them%20qualified%20plans.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Employee Stock Ownership Plan\u003c/a> (ESOP).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By definition, an ESOP is different from a worker-owned cooperative.

Several hours after our conversation, he sent the laid-off staffers an email, which was forwarded to KQED, apologizing for the lack of transparent communication and inviting them to a town hall meeting with a moderator so the owners could answer questions and hear concerns. He did not set a date for the meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For some of the workers, the mass email felt insufficient. “That should have been the first move,” Sampson said, adding that she’ll still most likely attend the town hall when it happens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other workers, though, have already moved on. “I’m not going to risk my future to bid on these guys who have proven to be untrustworthy and bad at communication,” said Martich. “Jumping into a situation where none of us would know how a co-op would work—I don’t think those guys have done any of the work in figuring that out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb data-stringify-type=\"bold\">\u003ci data-stringify-type=\"italic\">Update:\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003ci data-stringify-type=\"italic\"> This story originally listed Starline Social Club co-owner Alex Maynard as “of Sobre Mesa.” He was a consultant there, not a partner or employee.

As housing costs climbed in Oakland, it held rent parties where bar proceeds went to the living expenses of someone in need.

But the owners of Starline say it’s unfeasible for them to operate at 25% or even 50% capacity. Their business model relied on their 400-person-capacity upstairs ballroom and 100-person-capacity side room to be packed to the brim, with people crowding in and ordering food and drinks all night. They also regularly rented out both spaces for more costly private events as an additional revenue stream. Though the venue never lacked patrons, the owners say they rarely profited with around $300,000 a year in mortgage, loans and insurance, in addition to what they paid their 65 employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t know how to survive with anything except for 100% of our full business models,” says Bennett.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And with the Save Our Stages Act, which would offer substantial grants to music venues, still awaiting a vote in Congress, the Starline team decided that it was better to sell than await help that may never come. “We have a mortgage, insurance and that kind of stuff, and there’s no money coming in,” says Hatch. “It’d be great if there was a signal from the government there’s going to be some kind of relief.” [aside postid='arts_13883952']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 8,520-square-foot building is \u003ca href=\"https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/2232-2236-Martin-Luther-King-Jr-Way-Oakland-CA/20770107/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">now listed for $3.2 million\u003c/a>; additionally, the business is priced at $300,000. Hatch, Bennett and the other owners hope the right buyer will come along—one who can preserve the Starline vision, or at least keep the space as a venue. “The pie in the sky would be that the hyper-inclusive, safe space, hyper-eclectic programming, thoughtful food and drink, activist-forward kind of culture would remain,” Bennett says. “That’s the center of the bull’s-eye.

As housing costs climbed in Oakland, it held rent parties where bar proceeds went to the living expenses of someone in need.

But the owners of Starline say it’s unfeasible for them to operate at 25% or even 50% capacity. Their business model relied on their 400-person-capacity upstairs ballroom and 100-person-capacity side room to be packed to the brim, with people crowding in and ordering food and drinks all night. They also regularly rented out both spaces for more costly private events as an additional revenue stream. Though the venue never lacked patrons, the owners say they rarely profited with around $300,000 a year in mortgage, loans and insurance, in addition to what they paid their 65 employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t know how to survive with anything except for 100% of our full business models,” says Bennett.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And with the Save Our Stages Act, which would offer substantial grants to music venues, still awaiting a vote in Congress, the Starline team decided that it was better to sell than await help that may never come. “We have a mortgage, insurance and that kind of stuff, and there’s no money coming in,” says Hatch. “It’d be great if there was a signal from the government there’s going to be some kind of relief.” \u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"arts_13883952","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 8,520-square-foot building is \u003ca href=\"https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/2232-2236-Martin-Luther-King-Jr-Way-Oakland-CA/20770107/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">now listed for $3.2 million\u003c/a>; additionally, the business is priced at $300,000.

That’s on Tuesday, Nov. 19, at the main branch of the public library in San Francisco. \u003ca href=\"https://sfpl.org/?pg=1038012501\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Details here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/arts/13869815/the-do-list-rebirth-brass-band-holiday-train-ride-and-more-for-nov-14-21","authors":["185"],"programs":["arts_140"],"categories":["arts_835","arts_7862","arts_74","arts_69"],"tags":["arts_1118","arts_3178","arts_1983","arts_3573","arts_2830"],"featImg":"arts_13869860","label":"arts_140"},"arts_13866549":{"type":"posts","id":"arts_13866549","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"arts","id":"13866549","score":null,"sort":[1568920588000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"indie-group-boy-scouts-poised-to-find-national-audience-with-free-company","title":"Indie Group Boy Scouts Poised to Find National Audience with 'Free Company'","publishDate":1568920588,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Indie Group Boy Scouts Poised to Find National Audience with ‘Free Company’ | KQED","labelTerm":{"term":140,"site":"arts"},"content":"\u003cp>All of the songs on \u003cem>Free Company\u003c/em>, the first full-length by Bay Area songwriter Taylor Vick’s indie-pop outlet Boy Scouts, contain the word “you,” and almost all of them are in the past tense.

And she strongly rejects what she called roots revivalism, saying she won’t glorify a past that’s even more exploitative than the present.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13853157\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13853157\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/Kit-Center-Lisa-Pezzino-Morgan-Nixon-at-Board-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Left to right: Long Road Society operators Kit Center, Lisa Pezzino and Morgan Nixon.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/Kit-Center-Lisa-Pezzino-Morgan-Nixon-at-Board-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/Kit-Center-Lisa-Pezzino-Morgan-Nixon-at-Board-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/Kit-Center-Lisa-Pezzino-Morgan-Nixon-at-Board-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/Kit-Center-Lisa-Pezzino-Morgan-Nixon-at-Board-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/Kit-Center-Lisa-Pezzino-Morgan-Nixon-at-Board-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/03/Kit-Center-Lisa-Pezzino-Morgan-Nixon-at-Board.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Left to right: Long Road Society operators Kit Center, Lisa Pezzino and Morgan Nixon. \u003ccite>(Sam Lefebvre/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“As a feminist, anti-racist woman, how could I feel nostalgic?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Run With the Moon, there’s a revolving door between the stage and the dance floor.
