Folk life recap

Well, we don't do too well at getting all our thanks out after every weekend on the road but this last weekend was so much fun, with lots of great folks helping us along so here we go.

All around, HUGE thanks to Katie for coming out with us for the first time and cleaning out our shot glass and CD supplies, not to mention keeping a careful eye on s&f finance. Kate, Lindsay, as always, thanks so much for being you, for being up front or at our backs looking out for us and taking great photos.

Thanks to the folks who came out to the Glo Loca. That was a new bar for us and we were thrilled with the raucous response. As always, we had a blast with the Potato Famine boys and loved the shit out of Absent Minds. Thanks to Ben, too, for making it out to that show.

Of course, thanks a TON to the My Life crew and the friendly *staff* at the Whispering Spur (that's you Falco) for providing a space and drunken commradarie as well as for keeping half of us up until 8am. What a great way to head to kick off.

Folk Life was a freaking rip. Chervona, and Rum Rebellion, as always, were great to see and better to hear. Thanks to all those who stuck around despite the frightening turn and especially to those drunken and dancing up front. This show was HUGE and we had more fun than you all know.

Thanks to Rob from Williston for coming out and the fellahs from Meisce for making the trip over to see us. Travis, you drunken bastard, thanks for smuggling the goods and sharing the wealth, and for rockin boat times.

Of course NO trip to Seattle would be complete without a huge shout to the Hanta House crew. Iko, Jenna, Don, THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU for your second-to-none hospitality. Thanks for coffee, breakfast, wall videos, beer, liquor, pickle ball, bocci, shouts at shows, and all around good naturedness. You are a rare breed of people and it does all of us good whenever we cross paths.

Last, thanks to Josh, Casey, and Jon from Oswald Effect for coming down and checking us out as well, emphasis to J-man for another great (tho brief) conversation. We look forward to your next trip to EUGENE *cough*.

Probably a million others, know weekends like this leave us sore, exhausted, unclean, and thrilled. Thanks to all you who made it work.

Folk life!

Hey gang,

S&F is hitting the road this weekend for a tour de force that won't stop until Seattle has burned to the ground.

We start the weekend Friday night at a new bar in an old stomping ground, Portland OR.

The Glo Loca Bar is the place, we'll tear down the building with our good pals from Salem, Potato Famine, and play for the first time with Portland based Absent Minds.

We'll keep the Anti-Chrysler caravan pointed North and Saturday night we'll be finishing out the night on the Fountain Lawn Stage at the Northwest Folklife Festival benefit. This show is FREE BITCHES so if you live in Sea Town there is NO excuse! We play right after those Irish destroyers from Portland Rum Rebellion who take the stage at 7:35pm.

WE WILL HAVE OUR NEW CD, BARRELHOUSE ANGELINAS, FOR SALE AT FOLKLIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not even 'officially' available yet so think about how COOL you'd be if you showed up with one before our release party. Your friends would just DIE.

We finish ransacking Seattle with the crazy bastards from Chervona over at The Bit Saloon. The show also features the musical mussings of Verona so don't miss it!

Should be a hoot we hope to see all our good friends from the northerly tributaries of our beloved I-5!
