Coopers Coffee

We played at Cooper's Coffee Thurs night 6/29/06.
It was very sparse on audience, but boy did we have a good time.
Sometimes you can play for hundreds of people but get no response, which makes it tough, but then there are times when you play for a handful of people and you make a great connection! This is far more rewarding. This was the kind of night that we had.
For the most part, we performed without too many mistakes, but the ones we did make were funny and we laughed it off.
I really enjoyed the night. We are going to do a little more advertising the next time we go so we can bring in some business for Michael, the owner. It is very nice of him to let us come anytime we want, we owe him a great debt of thanks!

If you are local to Portland, please check out this great coffee house on 61st and Stark! Great people working there, great people frequent this place, it's in a beautiful building with a great history. You will not find a better person than Michael the owner, always has a smile on his face and his laughter fills the room!

That's it for now!

Thanks,

Andy, Stephanie and Mike!

Our First blog

This is our first official blog, I have a tendency to spend more time online and since I am on vacation this week, I am doing this first blog.
Stephanie and Mike will also be putting some stuff on here in the future.
I guess blogs for music groups are supposed to be about what is happening with us and where we are going to be performing next..
So I will do just that.
As you know we played at Bethany Village Grill on June 11th.. went pretty well.
I think we learned a lot that night. I was most critical, as I always am. Stephanie and Mike Calmed me down on that.
We liked playing there it's a great place with great Food!!
Les the owner was gracious enough to let us take up the better part of an hour. We kind of pushed the open mic night back a bit, but Danny Oaks was also kind enough to move his toes back a bit so we wouldn't step on them.
All and all it was a good evening.
Thanks for everyone's support!! We had a great showing.
Our performance , and the turn out , lead to Les asking us to come back. We will be arranging that for sure.
Another promising note of interest is that since Mike and I winged it at "Borders" books in beaverton, we have been invited to go back there and also do a "tour" so to speak of many of the other local stores. This will include Salem, Gresham, and Vancouver.
This is very cool. Borders is a great place to play cause families can bring their kids. It's amazing how many people go to Borders on a Friday night just to hang out!
Our next spot is going to be at Greg's Barbecue, on July 1st!
That will be very relaxed and informal
We will keep you posted on more events as they come up
