Tuesday, May 31st: Matty Byloos, Carrie Seitzinger, & tunes by Timmy Straw

Kidnap in the Spring (forreal!!)

Please join us around 7:30 pm on May 31st for delight.

Portland culture warriors Matty Byloos and Carrie Seitzinger team up with Timmy Straw (whose music would give Mazzy Star the chills) to bring you this delight.

As always, everyone is welcome! We'll have some beer on hand, but we rely on y'all to help keep people hydrated through the end of the evening. Donations of cash, beer, wine, food, etc. are fantastic, and please bring things to sell, promote, or proselytize.
