It’s time for the weed report!

Hopefully by now, as a reader of this weekly blurb, you’ve gotten somewhat used to the impermanence and lack of guarantees in Washington’s legalized cannabis industry.  We got hit pretty hard by Labor Day shoppers and inventory felt light after a few orders didn’t deliver this week as expected.  I was feeling pretty bad about our situation until I heard the awful news that Cedar Creek was robbed a few days ago.  This is a tragedy, they’re one of our most beloved growers and we hope they can somehow bounce back from such a huge loss.  As you may recall we have eagerly been anticipating this Jack Herer shipment but it’s gone and who knows when we might get some again.

Cedar Creek was very supportive of us after we got robbed so I invite you all to come in, buy some of their product, show your love to this special farm because I would love to give them a big order as soon as possible.  There’s video on the news link, faces are visible, hopefully these people are brought to justice.  It is too bad we cannot measure the joy, productivity and (your personal descriptor here) they stole from so many people, I want them to know.

Check out our Leafly menu here.  The same menu is also available on our website.   We are unable to update the menu daily so check the “last updated” time stamp and call ahead if you’re depending on something.  You can also find us on Yelp and Google!  We love positive reviews, please consider leaving helpful comments so more people will check us out!  We sure do appreciate it!

This week at the Disco Bay Detour:

The Disco Bay Detour is closing at the end of the month. Here’s a statement from Greg:

As the summer comes to an end, it saddens me to let everyone know that the Disco Bay Detour is closing at the end of September. September 30th will be our last day open.

It’s been a great run, and we still have one more month of Wilderness Wednesdays, Open mics with Jillian, and a great travelling Bluegrass band, Never Come Down on 9/6. Doom Lagoon will bring some experimental funk on 9/23. We’ll have a big schwenker party/wake with the Piney Gals on 9/27, and we’d love to see you throughout September.

We are sad that we were never able to make this great space pencil, but we will continue to try for a sustainable model by connecting the Detour and the Village Store. We’re working on a plan to keep the espresso and non-alcoholic beverages flowing at the Detour as it becomes part of a larger grocery.

Our hours are set for September, but they are limited. Here is the schedule:

So stay tuned and we’ll keep everyone updated about our progress in connecting these two great locations and continuing to serve our community. Thanks for the great times. It’s been a blast,

Greg

Wednesdays are Wilderness Wednesdays at the Detour – Starting in April, weekly meetings from 6-9pm
A Collaboration between Disco Bay Outdoor Exchange and Disco Bay Detour

Join Detour bartender, former wilderness ranger and current mountain guide Erin Reading for an evening focused on wilderness/outdoor adventure. The intention is to share collective knowledge with one another, build webs of connection among various outdoor communities, and to have fun delighting in one another’s adventure planning, stories, and questions. Everyone is encouraged to bring maps (yay!), trip planning ideas and resources, gear questions, pictures, or whatever else you feel inspired to ask or share.

While the foundation of Wilderness Wednesdays is simply a time to gather informally to pour over maps and share stories over drinks, some evenings will also feature a wilderness related presentation or workshop, with topics ranging from surfing, kayaking, backcountry skiing, and mountaineering to backpacking, flyfishing, local botany, and wild foraging. If you have a presentation or workshop you would like to share for one of the weeks (30-45min long presentation, plus some Q & A time) or a topic you would like to hear someone else speak about, contact Erin at erin.b.reading@gmail.com.

***Barring rain, we will have a fire going outside – feel free to bring something to grill on the schwenker or a snack/potluck dish to share if so inspired.***

For both experienced and aspiring outdoor adventurers – all are welcome! Hope to see you there!

Scheduled talks:
9/11: Mountaineering, Glaciers, and Climate Change w/ Dahr Jamail – Join American journalist, climate change activist, author, and mountaineer Dahr Jamail as he shares stories of mountaineering, glaciers, and the impacts of climate change.

9/18: Open

9/25: Olympic Peak Experiences with local Mountaineer Extraordinaire Fay Pullen
Come meet the woman whose summit registers you will find on even the most obscure peaks in the Cascades and Olympics. She is the second person and first woman to climb the 200 highest peaks in WA state, most of them solo. Unassuming and delightful, Fay will share about her current endeavor to climb the top 100 peaks on each side of the Olympic Mountains (east and west). You can read more about her here: http://www.alpinist.com/doc/web16b/wfeature-local-hero-fay-pullen

Thursdays are the Acoustic Open Mic Jam – Join Jillian as she hosts Open Mic/Jams in the Detour’s state of the art acoustic venue.  Plugged or unplugged, bring your instruments, original songs, renditions of classic ones, or works in progress.  Free, 7-9pm

Friday 9/6 Never Come Down – 2019 Rocky Grass National Champs- Never Come Down will perform at Disco Bay Detour on 9/6/19, music at 7pm!  “If you never take a chance, you can never get it wrong, so you better take a chance before it’s gone”.
Lyrics from their song Chances on their self-titled debut album have become a mantra for the members of Never Come Down. As band leader Joe Suskind puts it, “This band was born out of taking
risks. We all felt the pull to take a chance on our music and each other, so we left our day jobs behind and hit the road. We’re taking a real swing at it.”
Earnest songwriting, dedication to craft, and genuine care for the music is at the forefront of what Never Come Down does. “We never tell each other what to play; as a group we can feel it when the music is right.” It’s that feeling that Never Come Down creates that has captivated audiences from the onset and is now drawing national attention.

Monday 9/23 Doom Lagoon – Doom Lagoon (Psychedelic/Jazz/Experimental/Rock) from Omaha, Nebraska brings a fun live show for all walks of life with swinging grooves, heavy metals, and everything in between! Come party with us one night only at Disco Bay Detour, 7-9pm
