For months now, we've been quietly moving toward expanding into the space next door. What used to be an EBay store has closed its doors, which presented us with the excellent opportunity to claim the adjacent storefront for a bigger, less congested, better Laboratory. Now we seem to be mere weeks from that reality.
Being the drummer among the group here, I am particularly excited. We have lots of stuff for drummers, but most of it is stacked atop shelves, hidden in boxes, and just not set up for people to wade in and appreciate. Once remodeling next door is complete, that will become our new front door. When you first walk in you will be greeted by numerous drum sets. Out on the floor, set up to play, fleshed out with cymbals. Just like it ought to be. Beyond that, more stuff on display and then the lesson rooms, which flank a stage area.
To the right, step through the gaping maw which is slated to appear in our wall, and into the space that presently encloses all of our showroom. Inside that area will be the usual expanse of guitars, basses, amps, cases, and so forth, all spread a little more to allow a more relaxed flow through the selection.
The contractors are over there now. I hear banging, voices, and the occasional whine of some kind of saw. As proud as I am of how this store shaped up, I am doubly excited for the future look and feel of The Laboratory.
