They told me when I filed for the fictitious business name for The Metalcore Church that I wasn't really a business until I filed my schedule C for the business which was sent 5 mins ago after being reviewed by a tax professional. I have officially started to work here at The MXC as the blogger now. Hi, this is your MXC Host Raymond Joey Hargreaves. Welcome to the beginning of The MXC as a business. What do we sell, well, I haven't actually figured that out yet. I have touched on several things to see what Metalcore artists sell and I found that they sell merchandise so that was the first road I explored which was like, well first, I need a band with good music. I became a registered label that can host up to five bands on Distrokid.com and the first band I slapped on the label was myself of course just because. I mean, if I had a band that actually played together. I'm always going to be under the artist name, Immortal by Grace, and it would be cool to find some other band members who were also Immortal by Grace hahaha. Anyways, if you are a Christian band that plays a sub genre of any type of metal I'd love to put your music on the church's Spotify account with your band members names. The money generated will be considered your tithes and offerings. I set this business up in a way where you will always pay at the door as my business license covers the legalities revolving around charging a door fee for everything. One of the main reasons is that I don't expect the metalcore community to pay tithes on their own regularly and it registers better to invite people who don't understand tithing to understand a cover charge. You see as an engineering undergraduate we will keep an excel spreadsheet with your name and all the cover charges you pay to do special promotions for you. Maybe be like pay 5 cover charges get the 6th free or like girls get in free night and so forth. One thing I never want to see happen is what Planet Fitness is doing to me. They started out as a cool business that was 10 bucks a month to exercise and then just stopped the account when you couldn't pay and then changed their business model and won't allow you to cancel your account until you pay off what you owe basically became the new InShape where they just keep screwing you over for money. See like the door fee can be used in your favor when you have money you can pay 2 door fees and then get in free the following week. There will be so many opportunities to become like a VIP and get like royal entrance and all kinds of weird promotions. Hopefully, this will become a daily blogging for me to keep you guys updated with what is going on. I have recently updated the Spotify to add some more tracks just a little exposure to the metal genres that we will be covering at the MXC. A lot of the music that churches don't accept we are coving as The Metalcore Church unless someone from one of those genres wants to branch off with one of those communities, but we are so few in number it would be financially beneficial if we banded together to just one place for the sub genres of metal music and God has been revealing that we are so much more than just a concert venue for Christian Metalcore music. It is the gateway for the people who the church chooses to reject. The children of divorced parents, the kids who can't afford to go to Hume Lake, the racism in the church, children of parents who own successful businesses treat you indifferently, maybe you are the kid with the behavior problems always getting in trouble and the church congregations attitude towards you reflects that behavior. You belong with the MXC as a personality commonality you may not even like Metalcore music, but you share common rejection with our congregation. A lot of people hate me, only have partial information about me to try to take down The MXC from becoming what God intended it to be. I have about 60 blog Titles of all the relationships and how they affected my walk with God I want to share them with you guys so you have all the stories in relation to my personality. I will show you how deep the convictions of Jesus Christ reside in my heart from best friends and girlfriends betraying me to my death and God rescued me time and time again. Nothing can snatch me out of the love Jesus Christ has for me even in death standing in Heaven dead as a door nail I heard an angel say to God, "Why is Joey here? He is not supposed to be here for another...." and God contemplated whether it was time for me to come home and agreed that he still had work for me to do on earth. I have more to comment about the door fee thing just imagine you decided to hit the donate button and you just tithe 10% off a paycheck you earned for the week minimum wage is 15 an hour you work 30 hours that week you make like 450 bucks minus taxes your 10% tithes would be like 40 bucks there are 4 Sundays a month roughly at a 10 dollar door fee you would get in free all week. Using the excel spreadsheet to keep a running total of like a Spiritual Bank account. The more I think about it the cooler it becomes.
