Stumpjack Coffee Company presents....

Some of you know that I have been without full computer capability lately. Hence the lack of blog updates and newsletters. still have a ways to go to get everything that I need back onto my hard-drive.

This is just a quick note about live music at Stumpjack this weekend.

Friday night (the 16th)

We are very giddy to have Matt and Steph Davies return to perform and they have a special guest sitting in with them Friday night: Nathaniel Seer via Bloomington, Indiana. Looking for some dang good, authentic, real and honest folk music? Then be here Friday evening at 7:00.

Saturday night (the 17th)

The Herald Times Reporter had a really lovely piece on our pal Adam Morantez in today's Weekend Edition insert (by Ben Wideman). He's what my ol' artist friend Dr. Evermor used to call "good people." And he's a darn good performer too. Adam will be here Saturday night at 7:00. Make sure that you be here too, ok.

Vacation & Happy New Year!

Stumpjack Coffee will be closed much of this week - from Monday Dec 29th most likely through Sunday Jan 3rd. We're taking a few days off to recharge the batteries, regroup and make a game plan for 2009. We are in Sturgeon Bay right now and I'm surfing some of my favorite blogs, including Dave Theiss' Working with Chemicals and The L.A. Post blogs. Unfortunately, Dave updates his blogs about as often as I go on vacation. This is unfortunate for all of the many people who religiously follow Dave's blogging, his fans, as it were. Dave is not just a highly skilled printer who puts out an outstanding product, he is also an artist who does some rather creative and visually interesting work, and his fans need to...no, they deserve to see it! This is, of course, an appeal to Dave to update his blog (I need something to read while lying in this hotel room, dangit!). And if he does, I will clothe myself like Michael Palin below and sing the Monty Python Lumberjack Song on the street corner in front of his shop. Thank you all for a very enjoyable and spunky 2008. You guys are truly the absolute best and we are so grateful for all of our friends who come into this joint and support the place.

Happy New Year!

Saturday night rockin' blues

Looking for something fun to do this Saturday evening? Well, we just booked Derek Pritzl to perform at Stumpjack Saturday night at 7:00!

Derek is back in town for the holiday and generously offered to bring his always excellent rockin' blues sound to Stumpjack this weekend. And if that weren't enough to get you pumped up, Derek's special guests will be none other than Mr. Dan Walkner (Clovis Mann) and guitarist Scott Cowling of Died love and Casual Steve.

Sounds like a great way to spend a snowy Saturday evening.

"a long journey"

We received the news this morning that John Schroeder passed away yesterday. John was the President of Schroeder's Department Store and a man very active in the Two Rivers community.

"This has been a long journey," is how the message from John's family began. It's also the beginning of another journey, for John, his family and friends, and the community as we say farewell to this man who was very much a positive force in this city. I did not know John nearly as well as many folks who have been here for many more years than I, but I came to know and like him him as a dedicated community leader, a fine businessman, and a guy with a great, dry sense of humor. Our very warmest thoughts and wishes go out to John's family.
