200 East Main Street, Pullman, WA, USA (Map & Directions)
Eastern Washington/Palouse meetup! The Dozier-Jarvis Trio is playing live jazz (Oscar Peterson style) at the charming Rico's Pub on Sat April 20th. The Meetup is starting around 7:30. There is pub food available. The band starts around 10:00. It's cool. It's comfy. It's a jazzy Inland Northwest Meetup in a nice old pub!

Cool. I think their next 2 dates are this coming weekend and then the weekend of March 23rd. i'll confirm that, and I'll get the April dates when i do.

Sounds like fun! The 23rd is out though, I'll be in Seattle. An April date would be better for me.

I'm in for the 23rd or later.

Yay! Ok, I just talked to Rico's and after this weekend DJT are playing March 29/30 and then April 19/20. Just that one weekend in April. Is that our weekend?

Then the question becomes Friday or Saturday? And .. since the band usually comes on later (9:45-ish) maybe we want to start earlier and have some chatting and dinner time? Their traditional pub food is quite decent if you want to get dinner. What time should we plan on starting.. is 8:00 too late?

It could end up running a little late, but I expect we can find minimal accommodations for anybody too tired to drive back in the wee hours.

I'm not in for this time, but starting in the fall I will have some semi-regular trips down to Pullman. So if this becomes a thing, keep me on the list.

So we'll book it as Sat 4/20 @ 7:30..? One, two, ...

Hippybear, and any other travellers,
There is at least one basic motel within easy staggering distance of the pub. I'll look into it some more and share what i find.

I live in somewhat further staggering distance (~20 minutes walk) and could host a person (or more than one, if some of them don't mind the floor and/or are okay with sharing a fold-out couch.)

Sorry, I was slow on this. The bad news is that it is Hemp Fest AND Mom's Weekend in Moscow. Moscow is the next (college) town over, but the ripples may be felt in vacancy rates in Pullman. The close by cheap motel is called Cougarland (the jokes write themselves) and their # is (509) 334-3535. If kagredon and the motels fill up I can probably fit any overflow in my place in Moscow.

And here is a tiny taste of the Dozier-Jarvis Trio, just starting thier 2nd set on 3/9. As almost seen from my phone.

But hey, Hemp Fest! On 4/20 no less. Sounds like a fun afternoon of wandering the park and listening to music. I might travel in a bit early for it.

Totally.

Hemp Fest (17th annual) is HUGE. Highly recommended. Wallabear has my #.

Mefites are even better in person. Okbye, you rock for putting this together and being awesome. Hippybear and wallabear and Nick, you rock for making the drive out, and also for being awesome.
