Starting a couple weeks ago, we merged the Open Mic night and Karaoke night into one, making for a full-on music evening on Wednesdays. With an added bonus of Fireball specials to assist getting the necessary courage for stepping on the stage.

What's included:

• If the crowd is light, can go nuts with whatever you want. If busier, will restrict to 2-3 songs per person.
• For musicians, house instruments include acoustic guitars, electric, bass, mandolin, banjo, drums, bongos, a tambourine, maracas, cow bell, and piano.
• Karaoke includes a number of karaoke CDs as well as option to hook up to a phone or tablet for a more diverse selection.
• The only real rules are to respective of others while they're playing.

Why to check it out?

1. It's fun.
2. A great stress reliever to sing a few songs on stage and let it out.
3. Practice a new song you've written with others.
4. Meet other musicians.
5. Can sing your favorite song of the day.
6. Sing with others, a great bonding experience.
7. Everyone can be a performer, can participate, whether through singing on stage or playing an instrument.
8. Celebrate making it past hump day.
9. Learn how to play with other musicians or singers.
10. Be entertained from hours of unexpected moments.

See you tonight!

A day to celebrate the creative side of our humanity, otherwise known as the right side of the brain. Since it can be a big, scary thing doing anything different or new (which usually are completely valid reasons not to be trifled with), most artists don't mind a little courage to help kick start the process, jump in and see what happens.

What's Included:

• Music playlists with a creative twist.
• 25% off all featured books: The book selection includes new and used, with genres ranging from liquor/wine/beer making, painting, mythology,  sci-fi, eccentric fiction, local, poetry, philosophy, and a few others. The features are a collection of books from a specific genre, will be displayed on the shelf by the window.
• Painting supplies: We have different sized canvases that are reasonably priced, starting at $10, and we'll supply the easels, paints, floor tarp, and basic instructions.
• Wine Specials: 50% off all wines, for the courage of course. Plus a good way to try out a few different ones while on special.

Come down and check it out, open at 4pm.

Cheers,
Matt

It's finally happening, thanks to Dennis Wagner for pushing it through, the city of Ranier will be silencing the train horns!!! And what better way to celebrate than with a party. After all, here's what to expect from the change:

1. More uninterrupted sleep, getting woken up at 3, 4, 5 am is never fun.
2. Sammy wins one! In case you're not familiar, Sammy is the local dog that gives a lesson in howling every time the train screeches by. While no doubt Sammy will still be paying attention, will be a little more relaxed for everyone.
3. Able to have a conversation outside, much better for punchlines without the horn.
4. No more frightened babies during strolls in Ranier. Take one in a stroller sometime when they're blasting away and see what happens.
5. Better chances for big foot sightings, so I've been told.
6. Better fishing, I'm sure this is the reason for my lack of fishing success this year. 
7. Improved quality of living with less noise pollution, similar to pollution with air, water, food, affected by anything in our environment. 
8. Less droppings from startled birds, especially in spring, millions of birds migrating through and getting the crap scared out of them.
9. Massive savings from no more ear plug expenses, it adds up.
10. Another excuse to have a party/celebration in Ranier!

And of course, the flip side:

1. Might have to buy an alarm clock.
2. Going to have to start preparing for Sasquatch.

Come down to Loony's Brew on Saturday and enjoy a complimentary glass of champagne to celebrate the momentous occasion.

Cheers,
Matt
