Subject: Stain Bar is closing -- join us for the sendoff!

Dear friends of Stain,

We write to share some sad news from the proprietors of Stain Bar: due to disputes with the landlord (read: astronomic rent raise), the bar is closing at the end of this month, in just a few days. Join us this Friday to send off our beloved (soon to be old) venue with a stellar lineup! Great poetry, drinks & a few tears guaranteed. & stay tuned for Stain of Poetry news as we head for a new home. If you're a fan of a bar, performance space or other venue that you think would be perfect for us, write to us at amyhappens@gmail.com and anabobo@gmail.com.

Smallest violins,
Amy & Ana

nonsense does not per se break down the codes; speaking precisely that
