The Weekend in Pictures

Thanks to everyone who helped to make our very first weekend incredible. Since each of these is worth at least 1000 words, I'll let them do the talking... = ]

...here's to many more unbelievably awesome days of being in business.

Catching up with TRx...

So it's been a pretty crazy couple of weeks... (No, I will not explain this picture. Draw your own conclusions.)

We have made a lot of progress: finishing the walls and wires, painting, working on the floor (and not finishing it), painting, hanging display walls, re-painting ("Are you serious?"), moving the inventory in, schmoozing, forgetting to update the blog, painting some more, listening to Japandroids, making appointments, canceling appointments, having moments of complete despair when contemplating all the things that could go wrong, having even more moments of contagious excitement watching (er, MAKING) everything fall into place, etc., etc., etc.

Lots of work. And the cherry on top was being interviewed by Josh Kerns of KIRO radio (97.3 FM) for his program "Soundtracks" (find the text of the story here, but don't pay attention to the logo or the website link, because those belong to that other Tyrannosaurus Records): http://www.mynorthwest.com/?nid=332&sid=203097

The culmination of all this activity will be this Saturday, 8/22. We will finally open our doors. To all of you who have been waiting patiently: Thank you--we can't wait to see you! To anyone hearing about us for the first time: Welcome--we hope you like what you see and hear.

We are finally here. It would be unacceptably ingracious of me to not give a big "THANK YOU!" to everyone who has helped to this point. The list of individuals is too long to reprint, but if you've given a kind word, a free lunch, your valuable time and ability, your technical knowledge, a suggestion, your music, your excitement, or any other kind of helping hand, consider yourself duly and hugely thanked.

We'll see you this weekend!

Don't forget: LIVE MUSIC!!! Saturday--6pm: Laura Jorgensen, 7pm: Jonathan Kimball // Sunday--2pm: Amy Bleu

ROOOAARRRRR!!!!

A big thanks to Celeste @ the Renton Reporter for this, our first ink (who says print is dead?!). And to Mary & Chris, who were both quoted about how awesome TRx is going to be and how awesome DTR is becoming; my beautiful wife (who got me hooked on DTR); and the whole DTR crew (you know who you all are...).

Stay Golden...
