Thunderbird Club

Great playing, sorry about the venue - I know how that goes as one of our early fave places out in Pt. Angeles burned down earlier this year.
that sux, Port Angeles rocks….wish I could spend more time there………dream town….a very dear friend from Seattle moved to Chelan……WA gets so interesting when you leave the city…

Reminds me of the 2 guys talking about getting insurance payments for their businesses being destroyed(short version). First guy says "the place burned down"; 2nd guy: "we had a flood".(pause...) 1st guy: "how do you start a flood?"
 
I'm going to take a swing at Sweetwater as an FYI. If you buy from them don't use their credit card, use one from your bank, etc. I had one of their cards and they are just a private label card run by Synchrony Bank. Synchrony got hacked and I've ended up with a month now of chasing down crooks that keep trying to open new credit lines with BofA, Capital One, Chase...I know it was Synchrony as they also handle PayPal Credit. When I checked my accounts at Sweetwater and PayPal Credit, both had address changes. Couldn't have gotten into my PayPal Credit account directly as I have multi factor authentication that requires access to my cell phone.
Good info to know about. And sorry to hear of this.

Well, I sold my 2014 ETBIV, and turned it into a PJ which was needed for the new band. Never fear, I still have the Not-Really-a-Goth.

Do you like 90s era Offspring style punk and Nirvana style grunge? The new band is Bite the Zombie. Here's two minutes to give you a taste of what we're up to.

:thumbsup:

We have one credit card we use for everything and another for a backup. That's it. We don't open credit accounts with retailers. Our credit report is pretty streamlined and it's easier to keep track if something goes wrong. A $50 Amazon credit or some percentage off a first purchase isn't worth it in today's world of scammers and hackers.

Indeed it does! 70 miles west of Seattle and you're in the rain shadow of the Olympics and it's very dry, so much so that it has a species of Cacti that only grow there. Another 90 miles west and you're deep in a rain forest, 200 miles east and you're in high country forest - best kept secret. :laugh:
 
Wow I saw Arlo Guthrie and Shenandoah at the Shaboo Inn 1980


I used to play there a lot, I miss those big clubs. There was another one in Ashland, Mass called The Cricket Lounge we used to play in a lot, same set up, two bars, held about thousand people. I have a cassette from a Saturday night gig in 1977 where the lead singer is saying "Two for one at midnight!" :laugh:

yep, and the locals want it that way……when I was moving back south, folks would tell me "tell everyone it sucks here"…:laugh:
that said, I've heard the "Seattle Freeze" can be very real..

They bribed me with a no interest for 2 years deal on an Ampeg Micro VR rig...and discounted it about $300...I think I've wasted the discount on phone calls to fraud departments. :rollno:

Let's just keep both of those myths alive! :D
