      Stickers? They are currently being made! Should be in our hands in 2-3 weeks.!! :)

      Shirts? Materials will be purchased this week and production will start this month! :)

      Show posters? My man, Rob Chabebe, is preparing to make additional prints so we have enough for everyone :)

      Tapes are next on the agenda. The materials will be purchased this week! But our duper is broken so we need to find a duper to make copies of everything :( does anyone have one they could sell to us? or lend to us? or fix ours?

      Now that things have slowed down... if the over 2000 people who liked this on Facebook without donating would each donate $2.50, the Barn would be fully funded.

      This place needs to come back to life. Why?

      #1, selfishly, because I live down the block from here and I might be in NYC for another year. And I'm lazy, I want to have an awesome venue to walk to.

      #2, because it's the fucking premiere, bleeding edge, venue for Indie Games to have a physical space to thrive. And this place will go down in the history books for all the art school students who are making indie video games in the future. They will all be like, damn, I wish I was around back in the day to be with all the Bushwicksters who were defining the coolest of cool scenes. Babycastles = Warhol for video games.

      Relatively new to NYC and have never made it to Silent Barn as yet. Hopefully I'll still be able to do so by this project reaching its target. Good luck!

      Its inspiring to see such a strong community. I'm glad to be a small part of it.
      Its amazing to experience the type of talent the space harvests and cultivates. I know for me, and I'm sure many others, the Silent Barn was a second home. Sometimes it felt like the sole postive force in the city.

      Anyway what I'm trying to say is Thank You. I wish I could give more.

      Can't wait to see New Silent Barn when I come back from New Mexico. Miss you all.

      I've never met a sweet group of people in my life, and they just so happen to run this great little venue in town. There's nowhere like the Silent Barn, so donate generously.

      Hey dudes, best of luck. Look into emergency grants. Also, you've probably already found this resource for insurance/equipment coverage, but it's way important: http://www.fracturedatlas.org/site/liability/…

      The Silent Barn has always been a second home to me. I am so glad that the video used has many clips of mine that I have filmed at Silent Barn! I may not be rich, but hopefully, my action of donating speaks louder than words.

The Silent Barn is an immersion into the art of New York City as it lives. It's a double-floor music venue inside of a kitchen, an independent video games arcade, an art theater & performance space, a party surveillance system, a zine library, a museum of gigantic murals, and a home for Castle Oscar.
