Lone Microphone and Doe Bay Getaway
I’ve always been good at coming up with clever names for things.

I’ve always been good at coming up with clever names for things. I’m particularly pleased with these two names — the Doe Bay Getaway and the Lone Microphone.
The Lone Microphone
I was really pleased with the first ever Lone Microphone — it was an experiment — a proof of concept, as they say — and on that level it was a total success. The bar owner asked me to sit down and have a meeting with him about ways we could make it even better, and we came up with a few:
- Lone Penny Shot @ 9pm. If you’re going to come, you might as well come at 9pm to get a shot for a penny! Incredible!
- Two Tacos for $2. Another incredible deal. This one lasts all night.
- A shot of tequila and a Tecate in a can for $5. Another awesome deal for the Lone Microphone.
So the next one, Lone Microphone II, is set for Dec. 8 @ Marcus’ Martini Heaven and our first confirmed performer is Olivia De La Cruz. Check out some of her music here:

The Doe Bay Getaway
Doe Bay is amazing! Beautiful! The hot tubs overlooking Otter Cove and out to the Salish Sea? Relaxing!
What a great time. I’m looking forward to playing there again in the spring and hoping I can convince some of you to sneak out of Dodge with me.
See you in December.
