My vanity hopes you’ve been pining for a send from me since my last missive a few months back; my own inbox choked with campaign-mail, however, suggests that may not be the case this summer.  Regardless, here I am again with an update on Northwest happenings. <skip to calendar>

 

The Full WW Band has accepted a one-Sunday-a-month residency at The Triple Door’s fun and funky Musicquarium Lounge in downtown Seattle, a great room truly devoted to live music that we’ve played many times in the past.  We’re really looking forward to the opportunity to settle in and grow our repertoire here, and hope you can make it by sometime: August 26 (this Sunday!); September 23; and more dates TBA through the close of 2012—no cover!

 

After a light summer (you were all outside, anyway...), The Bushwick Book Club - Seattle returns with a great and diverse lineup heading into fall.  August 24 showcases original music inspired by Lonesome Dove; September 3 is A Wrinkle in Time at Bumbershoot; and September 28 will invite Big Brother back to 1984.  Details for all below.  (Catch up on past WW contributions here and here.)

 

And no late-summer newsletter would be complete without mention of my annual visit to Washington’s Tri-Cities for the Tumbleweed Music Festival Labor Day Weekend.  I’m hard at work crafting the songwriting contest trophy as I type!

 

Thank you all for continued support and company!

(And particular thanks to out-of-area-types who have not been blessed with a visit in some time...  You are not forgotten!)
