"Good morning everybody. As I am sure all of you have noticed by now, the ruptured water main incident has forced Ashes to be closed the past week. After evaluating the internal damages, it has been determined that we will need to undergo some severe renovations, and the lounge will not be able to open back to the public until midsummer. We apologize for this inconvenience, and would love your continued support during this trying time. Feel free to give us a call or drop us a line, and in the meantime we will try to keep everyone actively updated for our Grand Reopening...sans water damage."
