Matty! I've only ever performed at one of two venues in Bellingham and neither are in business anymore so your experience may be many peoples' experience up there. I've done Blue Moon plenty of times. I assumed they treated comedians with an aura of dismissal because we aren't their bread and butter like musicians. It seems they might just be lame overall.
What a bust! The coming together of long time friends though, that's 100% worth the entire trip out. IF you make your way back to this side for a tour again, There are some Tacoma venues like New Frontier that have great sound AND staff.
Thanks for the boost, Chase. It's nice to know it's not just me, but that sucks to be doing business like that. I will absolutely hit you up about Tacoma when I come through again. Good luck out there, my dude.
That (and the story in the original post) are disappointing to hear. There are a bunch of small venues it doesn't surprise me to know that some of them aren't very good, but I think of there being a decent scene (and, back when What's Up magazine was still running they did a great job promoting small shows and live music).
Thanks, Kevin. Rainier was remarkable even covered in snow and clouds. Really wish I'd been able to get to Hood on this run as well. Keep an eye out for another iconic Oregon landmark in a forthcoming installment.
That's a bummer about Seattle! It's a fear we all have, especially when we put so much into getting somewhere and expecting it to go off as expected. I hope you enjoyed your time in the city though.

Oh Matty.... I'm so sorry that Seattle turned out that way for you. Their loss.
Thanks so much, Kimmer.
What raw deal! Glad you at least got to check out Rainer. Hopefully, next time you can check out Hood as well!

I’m on it!
What flakes! Not cool on the part of those booking agents. But I love that you soldiered on and found the silver linings.
