Unforgettable Evening of Music (Rosie)

Yes, Jim Page performed at the Coffeehouse last night. It was an incredible night. Having read the reviews, I was eager to hear him, but nothing compared to the actual man with his guitar. He is a consummate story-teller and his singing is evocative and moving. You hear and feel every song. He is also a warm and lovely person who would stop now and again and encourage people to come to the coffeehouse and support "this fine establishment". Before the show, he asked questions about our youth programs and volunteer opportunities and then mentioned it between songs. I have to say he had an incredible amount of "get it" and to his credit, the coffeehouse was full to the brim. And then some. On a blustery night when there were other events going on around town, it was a testament to him that we had standing room only. There were a few songs that brought tears to my eyes. I will never forget it.

I also want to take a moment and talk about Piper Reva from last week. She was wonderful. An eclectic blend of music, artistry, story-telling. Unique and intense. Piper is a completely engaging performer. I felt like I was in a bluesy club in New Orleans. If you have a chance to see her around town or in Seattle, don't miss it.

It is Halloween and it looks to be another blustery day. We will be prepared with treats for the wee trick or treaters with hot apple cider and hot cocoa for parents as well. Chef Jess has made a splendid Mushroom Miso Soup and we have special treats from our Tree Top Bakers. Coffeecake, sticky buns, pumpkin bread as well as the usual yummy scones and cookies. If you haven't tried a cookie from then, hurry up! They sell out every time.

New Winter Hours! We are changing to our Winter Hours beginning today.Monday through Friday - 9:00AM to 6:00PM and Saturday and Sunday - 10:00AM to 6:00PM with the Friday and Saturday evening hours for events as usual. See you at the Coffeehouse!
