a new spot...

It would seem that The Dojo is saved. It will be relocated to 2207 N. College Avenue Indianapolis, IN. This is a very good thing for Indy's DIY scene. It is good to see people take initiative and keep an affordable, all ages, community based space open and viable. Spaces like this are often not permanent fixtures within a given community, but an ongoing outlet for an idea or belief in DIY ethics. Hopefully, this new location will not have similar problems that plagued the original Dojo. For a space like this to succeed there needs to be a collective effort of support. Whether that comes from donations of money or time, or just supporting shows, this new incarnation of The Dojo is yet to be up and running. There is a benefit show on 8-3-2010 with all the proceeds going towards the new space. This show features Religious Police, Indianapolis Forever, and Will Power at Clubhaus Z (4810 E New York Street) at 6:30 with a minimum dollar at the door donation. When new information becomes available on the new space, then you'll see it here. Let's hope this space has a healthy and productive lifespan.
