Everybody,
May 2008 was our second busiest month since our opening and we thank you all for making it possible! Our feature on the Emmy Award Winning television program pdxposed is done and will air on Comcast soon. click here for a first look.
There are so many exciting things happening this Summer, I'm not sure where to begin. We will be performing our outdoor stage on Third Thursdays at 40th & NE Hancock (3 blocks NE of our location) again this Summer June 19th, July 17th, August 21st and September 18th from 6-9 pm. We feature live music for all ages, so bring the kids. I always have a few guests join in the fun. Refreshments are provided by our friends at Perkins Architecture, your Hollywood Architect.
Also: Our chef Tom Field and his staff have created a new menu for the warmer days. We have added several new salads, sandwiches and Entrees and have brought back a few favorites from last year. Our second annual tributes to Dean Martin (June 5th & 7th) and James Bond (next month on July 10th) are just around the corner. A whole host of favorites like The Shanghai Woolies, The Midnight Serenaders and The Bureau of Standards Big Band will be back to entertain you and we'll welcome Mia Nicholson to our stage for the first time. We'll be raising money for the Jazz Society of Oregon with Linda Daiber and the Jazz Express Big Band. We'll also be having our first listener party for 89.1 FM KMHD's "Divaville". You will also have the chance to sign up to sing with with a real live big band!
Finally, you may have noticed our new signage designed and painted by our hostess Kristen Behlings. You can thank her when you see her on a Friday night or in our next Vintage Fashion Show June 24th.

BARBARA AYARS, RITA MARQUEZ 7:30 $5
With Reece Marshburn on piano you will be treated to two dynamite

backups for the likes of Steve & Eydie, Bobby Vinton and Esquival,
but now she's out front and is a true pop vocalist in the tradition of
Petula Clark or Judy Garland. Opening the show is one of Barbara's
prot�g�s, Rita Marquez who has been taking Barbara's performance
workshop for several months and has been pleasing crowds at every
showcase. ax2music
