## Story
THE OPPORTUNITY: Palm Springs is home to a vibrant, dedicated LGBTQ+ community, and for over 30 years, one location was at its heart. It was a legendary gay bar, a community hub, and a destination. Unfortunately, the bar was shuttered in August 2024. In its wake, a palpable void was left in our community. It was our home bar and place where we met so many great men from the Coachella Valley and beyond. We missed it so much, we decided to bring it back. We’re not just renovating this space; we’re giving it a new life. We are tearing it down to its four walls and building a modern, safe, and dynamic new home for the leather and kink community. We're calling it Eagle Cathedral City and it will pay homage to the other 30+ Eagle leather bars in the world.THE VISION: We envision more than just a bar and nightclub. We’re creating an elevated experience that honors the past while building for the future. We will be the premier destination for major community events in Palm Springs, offering an atmosphere unlike any other.Jeremy and Phillip Nalwalker, Founders and OwnersWHAT WE'RE BUILDING:A World-Class Venue: We’re investing in top-of-the-line lighting and sound systems to create a truly immersive environment. The space will be fully brought up to code, ensuring a safe and compliant venue for everyone. A large part of this effort is focused on bringing a dedicated connection from the water main in the street to the building for the new fire suppression sprinkler system and integrated fire alarm.A Thoughtful, Inclusive Space: We’re expanding the patio to create more outdoor seating and social areas. We're also addressing a major need with two large bathrooms that include 13 stalls and 6 urinals. To better serve our patrons, we’re replacing the traditional coat check with a dedicated locker area with benches, offering a convenient and secure way for people to store their belongings.Unique Community-Focused Events: We’re bringing a new energy to the scene with fresh, exciting events like strip poker and gogo wrestling nights.A Nod to Our Roots: The iconic Rough Trade Gear store will be back, and they're already collaborating with us on our branded merchandise. And of course, we will be bringing back the famous Sunday beer bust, but we will be making it even bigger and better. Our vision includes expanding the patio toward the street by roughly 800 square feet. The space will be reworked from top to bottom. The uneven and unsafe mixture of ground surfaces will be replaced with new concrete. The perimeter fence will be torn down and a new black corrugated steel privacy wall will take its place. The pergola will be replaced with a modern structure. New palm trees and shade sails will complete the space. Plans include misters for those hot desert days and nights plus heating elements for the cooler winter evenings.Celebrating Our Community: We will have a large mural that changes with the seasons and major holidays, celebrating the diverse hot men who are part of our community—from hot cowboys during Gay Rodeo to muscled Marines on Veteran’s Day.Giving Back: We are committed to being a force for good. We already sponsor a local hockey team and softball team, and we plan to support important organizations like the Palm Springs Leather Order of the Desert. We also envision raising funds for local organizations that are vital to our community.The Business Model: Our financial model is straightforward: we plan to become the destination for Palm Springs' LGBTQ+ community and visitors. By hosting major events and providing a superior experience, we aim to be the number-one choice. We plan to drive revenue through cover charges, drink sales, and event hosting.

## FAQ
1. **Hi I wanted to change my investment from $500 to $5000. Is it possible?**
   - Yes you can change your investment amount. If you need help with this please reach out to us via eaglebarcc@gmail.com.
2. **For a non-US person, if the investment is significant enough would you consider structuring their investment as an interest bearing loan that qualifies for the portfolio interest exemption? This allows the lender not to pay US tax on the repayments.**
   - Please reach out to us at eaglebarcc@gmail.com so we may discuss details.
3. **I have concerns about the plan for cover charges on Friday and Saturday. Is the plan to charge $40 just to enter? I hope not because it will be viewed negatively and definitely affect business. Please clarify if this is the plan**
   - The cover charge will be ~$15 which is comparable to what the Barracks previously charged. Bunker charges ~$10. For the big events like gay pride, where we will be flying in DJs, our cover charge will be comparable to Reforma and the hotel ballroom gay pride parties.
4. **Four key questions that would help me and others evaluate this opportunity: 1. In one simple sentence, what are you working on? 2. Why are you doing this, what is your personal visceral connection to the problem? 3. Why now? 4. What is your unfair advantage?**
   - 1. We are creating a world-class gay leather bar and night club that will be renowned for our atmosphere and events. 2. We used to go to the former bar regularly. The former bar was around 30 years and we want to keep ours around for another 30+ which is why we are doing a complete remodel. 3. We miss our old bar and night life sucks currently in Palm Springs. The opportunity is there, the market demands it, and we want to raise the standard. 4. Our bar is already famous and we aren't even op...
5. **What is the address of the proposed location, Palm Springs or Cathedral City? If Palm Springs why are you calling in Eagle Cathedral City? If in Cathedral City, why are you saying the location is Palm Springs? The name makes this very confusing. Thank you.**
   - Our address in 67625 E Palm Canyon Dr in Cathedral City. We titled our Wefunder page referencing Palm Springs since it is a more recognizable location to a broader base of people. If you walk across Palm Canyon Dr to the residential community on the other side of the street, you are in Palm Springs. It's that close. However, we are proud to be located in Cathedral City and grateful for the full support the city government and community has granted us.
