The Last Day of Echo Donut Lounge.... (Acoustic Show #2)

      Well, it was an awesome Saturday morning this past weekend in Washougal, Washington at the now closed Echo Donut Lounge.
       We played our second in a series of acoustic shows at this cool little shop, and I must say, we're sad to say good-bye to such an awesome little place.  We had a fair amount of folks out who've seen our more recent shows this year, and a few who haven't had a chance to see us live before.
Plus, we got a chance to play in a stage area, while being flanked by old-school vinyl, used CD's, and musical equipment... Definitely my kind of stage!
        So, first off... A wonderful thank you to all the folks who made the trip up, (or over), to Washougal to catch this mid-morning show. And big thanks to everybody at Echo Donut Lounge for having us on their last day of business.
        And, of course... The donuts were AMAZING! We had some awesome coffee and perused the vinyl selection after our set.... I went home with the Jam's "The Gift", the Boomtown Rats' "The Fine Art of Surfacing", and the Eno/Hyde album "High Life."
Tony snagged the new J. Mascis album, and Samir found a tattered old LP of the soundtrack to "The Graduate"... Overall, some pretty sweet music pickings..
      And, being an all-ages show, it was nice to have folks who brought their kids to hang out, listen to some tunes, and enjoy a nice, sunny day..
   So, overall, Acoustic Show #2 was a success as well... We're prospectively looking at doing Acoustic Show #3 in mid-to-late May, possibly with our drummer back in tow! So, stay tuned for more news in the next couple of weeks.
    And again, Thank you all for coming out this last weekend... And thank you, Echo Donut Lounge for just being an awesome place - way ahead of it's time! We'll miss you!
