Rising from the wet soggy ashes!

When Vixy & Tony first started making music together, we didn't plan on our music having an impact outside of Filk circles. Then someone told us about a nearby coffee house owned by a Browncoat which hosted live music events. We were invited to play at one of their shindigs, met all sorts of wonderful people, and a tradition was born. Since then we've done many packed-house shows there, and it feels like home each time we do. We learned that it's more than just a coffee house and music venue, its a special place, a meeting place for geeks of all stripes, a headquarters for the Seattle Browncoats, and a warm sanctuary full of friends. We love Wayward Coffeehouse and everything they stand for.

They're currently shut down due to damage resulting from a nextdoor fire and its extinguishing efforts. They're a small independent business, trying to get their place fixed up and reopened. And each day that the laborious process with the insurance companies, the building owners, and the repair contractors drags on, they're losing money. So we're here to help!

We're having a house concert at House Cerulia on Sunday, December 19th at 6pm, with all proceeds going to the Wayward Phoenix Fund! We'll do an evening of great music, pass the hat, and hopefully have other cool stuff going on. We will be joined by our amazing String Section, and you all know how awesome things get when that happens.

Please RSVP to ceruliahouse@gmail.com so they can get a count of how many people are coming! And if you can't come, please donate to the Wayward Phoenix Fund directly!

See you all there!

PS: There's a raffle added to the event now, including an ARC of the not-yet-released Late Eclipses by Seanan McGuire.

PPS: We're planning on streaming the show live at UStream.TV: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/vixy-and-tony. If you can't join us in person, join us there!

Having gotten spoiled lately by s00j's shows being streamed online, any chance this might get streamed live with perhaps a virtual tip jar/PayPal account for those of us who wish we could be there, but live several thousand miles away?

[tfabris.livejournal.com]

You're not the first person to ask that!

There's a chance. If it happens, we will tweet about it with the URL!

And by the way, the paypal account to remotely donate to the cause is already there in the post: It's the Wayward Phoenix Fund.

Thank you - I am definitely in that group. (And after three house fires, I am all over this, even if it's only what I can glean from the recycling right now.)

Just had to pass along that Riley saw your little icon picture over my shoulder and told me that he's always thought you looked like an elegant Prince from an old fairy tale. He said you have a Princely Bearing. Make of it what you will, from the mind of a nine-year-old. :)

Hahaha! I'm not a prince, I'm the dread pirate Roberts!

because no one would fear the Dread Pirate Tony!

DId much of their Browncoat swag/decor get damaged? I'm asking to see if they need me to send a replacement flag or some such....

[tfabris.livejournal.com]

I don't know the answer to that! Email Broenwynn and ask! Wayward at waywardcoffee dot com.

[coat-of-brown.livejournal.com]

will do!
thanks!

I remember an auction done with paper bags and donated items a while back at Cerulia. Perhaps that could be done again for this cause? I'm sure I could find something to donate.

[vixyish.livejournal.com]

Yep, we'll be holding a raffle too (that got confirmed only after Tony made this post). seananmcguire will be donating some items!

I am planning to be there and have RSVP'd. See you Sunday!
