Two Story Coffeehouse

So, last night rocked. We held our Invitation Night Benefiting Nuçi’s Space, and the night went over really well. The house packed out, we had great talent performing, an electric, warm, open air environment, a killer selection of Barista’s making drinks, and Nuçi’s Space! Sounds pretty good, yea?

We did a few things different for this particular show. All of our concerts/music nights have held a different approach on some level of either the administration, logistics, layout, or artist selection, etc. Well, for this show, we tried a few ideas to see how well they would go over.

We removed all of the tables from the main room and flooded them onto the front porch and into our side “tree” room.

This worked out really well it seemed, as it let everyone really crowd in together and sit on the floor, on the chairs against the walls, and just stand and mingle amongst themselves. I really believe that it added to the social vibe that just seems to surface for these Invitation Nights.

For this show, we allowed artists to sell their CD’s. All of the CD’s moved! Some given away, some sold. But, the response from everyone in the house was big towards these musicians.

David Mikush opened things up with his playful and creative lyrics with a california, laid back sound. But, definitely don’t pin him into a corner. Clint Poy followed, with quite a following of his own. Jon Mark and Drew Dixon wrapped up the night, which lasted about 2 1/2 hours!

Nuçi’s Space passed out some stickers and spoke to the packed house a little bit about what they do for musicians in this city. A big thanks to them for being here last night!

We also had some fun with our Twitter Zone.

If I’m not careful, I was just spiral into a wind of “thank you’s.” But, we need to thank all of the guys who played. Thanks to David, Clint, Jon, and Drew. Check these guys out on their myspace pages.

Thanks to our Baristas, Mark, Scott, and Kelsey who handled the bar so well under such crazy rushes of free drinks!

Thanks to Nuçi’s Space for everything you do for the musician’s of Athens. I look forward to a great relationship with you guys.

Thanks to everyone who came out to hear some great music, enjoy some phenomenal coffee, and support a brilliant cause.

Alright, enough thank you’s, but know that they don’t really stop here.

We look forward to our next event night here at Two Story. Give us your feed back on what you want to see happen here. Talk to us.
