LOCAL
LOCAL BUSINESSES SAY THAT THE PAUSE OR PAYBACK DURING THE CORONA VIRUS. BUT SAN DIEGO
MADE IS BRINGING THEIR ENTIRE
EVENT LIVE TO YOU VIRTUALLY ON
FACEBOOK THIS FRIDAY NIGHT.
LET'S MAKE THE CO-FOUNDERS OF
SAN DIEGO MADE SARAH AND
KRISTIN ARE JOINING US THIS
MORNING. GOOD MORNING, LADIES.
GOOD MORNING. THANKS FOR HAVING
.I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE. TELL ME
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT'S BEEN
HAPPENING WITH SAN DIEGO MADE
AND HOW WE'RE SORT OF GETTING
THINGS BACK ON TRACK. YES, WE
ARE. YOU KNOW, WE'VE BASICALLY
BEEN CLOSE ALLOW TENANTS TO BE
ABLE TO COME IN. WE HAVE A
COWORKING SPACE HERE AND WE
HAVE A SEMI PRIVATE SPACE AND A
BED SPACE. AND WITHOUT THAT
BEING OPERATED, WE'VE KIND OF
SHIFTED GEARS AND TRIED TO
BECOME CREATIVE, WHICH I KNOW A
LOT OF PEOPLE ARE RIGHT NOW
TRYING TO MAKE THINGS WORK IN
THIS ENVIRONMENT. AND SO WE
DECIDED TO LIFE FEED THIS
WEEKEND. AND THAT'S A PART OF
OUR TENANT REALLY FUN THAT
WE'VE BEEN DOING FOR ABOUT A
MONTH NOW. AND WE'RE BASICALLY
GOING TO ANNOUNCE THE RAFFLE.
SO A BIG PART OF THE TENANT
RELIEF FUND IS TO RAISE MONEY
FOR THE TENANTS FOR THE FACTORY
AND HELP GIVE SOME RELIEF. AND
THEN WE'VE BEEN LIKE I SAID,
WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT FOR A
MONTH AND ALL THE RESIDENTS
SOME OF THEM HERE HAVE DONATED
TO THE FUNDS THAT THEY'RE THEIR
ITEMS. AND SARA, IT'S GOING TO
BE ABLE TO TELL YOU A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT THOSE ITEMS IF YOU
GUYS LIKE TO HEAR ABOUT THAT
WORKS HERE. GO AHEAD. JUMP IN.
SO SEVERAL OF OUR TENANTS AS
WELL AS SOME OF OUR MEMBERS
HAVE DONATED THESE SUPER COOL
ITEMS SO WE'D HAVE MORE THAN 18
DIFFERENT THINGS THAT YOU CAN
WIN SO YOU CAN GO TO SAN DIEGO
MADE FORWARD SLASH SHOT TO
CHECK OUT MORE INFORMATION
ABOUT THE TENANT RELIEF FUND
AND ABOUT THE RAFFLE AND GET
YOUR RAFFLE TICKETS. LET'S
BRING IN ANOTHER ONE ARTIST
HERE THIS MORNING. I WANT TO
TALK TO VAL AND JUST FIND OUT
FROM VAL WHAT IT'S BEEN LIKE
FOR YOU. VAL, AS AN ARTIST, HOW
YOU'VE BEEN HANGING IN THERE SO
FAR. YOU KNOW, THIS HAS NOT
BEEN THE EASIEST TIME WHEN THIS
HOME QUARANTINE PIECE BEGAN. IT
WAS CHALLENGING BUT I'LL TELL
YOU SOMETHING. BOTH MY HUSBAND
AND I BOTH HAVE A STUDIO HERE
AT THE SANDING MADE FACTORY. WE
WERE REALLY RELIEVED BECAUSE IN
ONE ASPECT OUR LIVES DIDN'T
CHANGE TO TERRIBLY MUCH. IT WAS
REALLY HELPFUL THAT
THE FOUNDERS OF SAN DIEGO MADE
FACTORY KIND OF SHUT
THE FACTORY DOWN TO JUST
TENANTS ONLY SO WE CAN STILL
COME AND HAVE OUR OWN SPACE IN
WHICH TO WORK. FOR ME I
PERSONALLY USED NEEDLES MELTING
AS A COPING TOOL. THAT'S PART
OF MY GIVE AWAY WHICH HERE'S A
LITTLE SAMPLE PROJECT IS A
LITTLE MELTED CACTUS THAT WILL
NEVER DIE. THAT'S A GREAT ACTOR
HERE. SO I AM GIVING AWAY A
WORKSHOP FOR FOUR AS PART OF
OUR RAFFLE AND I'M EXCITED TO
BE ABLE TO DO SO. I'M GLAD YOU
MENTIONED THAT TOO. I KNOW
PEOPLE LOVE THEIR LOCAL COFFEE.
I DO WANT TO BRING SHERRI HERE
THOUGH. SHE IS FROM. I THINK
IT'S GOT GOOD COFFEE. I KNOW IT
WASN'T GOING TO FORGET THAT
MEGA COFFEE. SHERRI, TELL ME A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT AND
THE PROCEEDS OF SELLING SOME OF
THE COFFEE. SO ORIGINALLY WE
ARE CATERING BUSINESS. WE
USUALLY DO WEDDINGS AND EVENTS
AND WE'RE ALWAYS POPPING UP
WITH SAN DIEGO MEAT WHENEVER
YOU HAVE AN EVENT. AND SINCE ME
