Washington's Oldest Independent Record Store Newsletter Vol.2 No.39 12/01/05 Greetings from Quimper Sound. It's been a hectic week for us as we bend (but don't break!) under the pressure to provide you all with the stuff you need in time for the holidays. We've filled way over 100 special orders already this week - with another batch coming in tomorrow. The website continues to be a great success - but we had a little hitch last weekend which kept an unlucky few of you from being able to place an order. That problem is looooong gone now and we'd like to reward everyone on this list for being so helpful with your feedback and orders. From now until midnight Sunday (the 4th) enter the code "notax" (without the quote marks) in the "Enter Discount Code" box in your 'cart' as you check out and you'll get your sales tax credited back to you (an 8.3% discount)! In next weeks newsletter we will be presenting a series of 'Gift Guides' - gift suggestions to help you make an "informed choice" about what to lavish on your friends, family and lovers. If you want to get a sneak peak - check the website starting Sunday, I'll try and add one every couple of days next week. If you have any suggestions (or complaints/compliments) feedback is much appreciated - keep it coming to: feedback@quimpersound.com - thanks! And now, on with the show . . . -Contents- 1.

Washington's Oldest Independent Record Store Newsletter Vol.2 No.40 12/09/05 Greetings from Quimper Sound. Not much exciting happening in New Releases this week - nor will there be for a while. However, we did *finally* get a limited number of Johnny Cash's "At Folsom Prison" CDs back in. They've been unavailable across the country for the last several weeks and have just started trickling back into the pipeline. If this is something you want for yourself or as a gift I suggest you strike while the iron is hot! Also, we just got a T-Shirt refill - so if you've been waiting for your size to be restocked, come on down! Finally, we've started putting our 'Gift Guides' up on the website.

Washington's Oldest Independent Record Store Newsletter Vol.2 No.41 12/15/05 Greetings from Quimper Sound. Only one new release of note this week (see below). So as we enter the holiday homestretch we're stocking up on all the essentials. But if you need to special order something, we're ready to go (we're the best in the biz) - but be forewarned that the distributers shelves are getting pretty bare... However, if you are a last week shopper, don't despair! We've got Gift Guides and Recommendations to help you find the perfect piece of music for that special someone. And if all else fails, a Quimper Sound gift certificate is one of the most sought after gifts in town. Perhaps the only thing more coveted is a gift certificate wrapped in a Quimper Sound T-shirt! Which reminds me, all Quimper Sound baseball caps are $5 (while supplies last). Finally, rest assured that we'll be open whenever you need to shop. We'll be open downtown until 8pm from now until Friday the 23rd and open 9am-6pm on Saturday the 24th. Of course, we're open 24 hours a day, every day, online.

For a limited time only, see Port Townsend's legendary CD slinger in action - it's a command performance! Chris will be working tonight, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Come by and say "Welcome Home". 2) Just a warning that if you have an outstanding special order and we haven't called you yet, chances are that we won't have it in time for the holiday. We'll continue to get orders in right up until Friday - but the distributors shelves are getting bare. Don't fret, though, if we can't find you something *almost* as cool as what you ordered right here in the store, a Quimper Sound Gift Certificate is a good stunt double. 3) A reminder that many stores on Water Street will be open until 7pm this week - and we'll be open until 8pm - so come on down and do your last minute shopping locally! Oh, and if you're truly a slacker, we'll be open until 6pm on Christmas Eve.

Washington's Oldest Independent Record Store Newsletter Vol.2 No.42 12/22/05 Greetings from Quimper Sound. No new releases of note this week or next week either. However, there are still a few things to look forward to in next week's newsletter - including our final year-end list of Port Townsend's 50 best selling CDs and 15 best-selling DVDs as well as a piece of "Sound Advice." Stay tuned. Oh, and did you see the nice article the Leader did on local online stores? Now, I know everyone is probably tired of all the last minute shopping hype and the rampant commercialism that only seems to get louder and more crass every year. So all I'm going to say is that we will be open from 9am to 8pm Friday and 9am to 6pm on Saturday. If you need us, great - we're here for you. If you're done (or "don't do"), that's great too. Peace is not for sale. No matter what, our wish for you is to have a great Holiday. Here's to you and yours - may you have a joyful Hanukkah, Christmas, Solstice, Ramadan, Kwanzaa or just a plain old relaxing weekend!

Washington's Oldest Independent Record Store Newsletter Vol.2 No.42 12/30/05 Greetings from Quimper Sound. Well, my computer died on me this week - so I have to renege on my promise of a new 'Sound Advice' column and the year-end lists this week. But I will be back next week (Dell willing) with the promised goodies. There's really only one new release of note this coming week and that's the much anticipated new Strokes album 'First Impressions Of Earth'. Other than that the only thing to report is that we're restocking furiously and (special) ordering madly to get all you gift certificate holders what you *really* wanted for christmas. Of course, that goes for all of you who got socks instead of CDs as well! It's been quite a year, filled with a lot of change - including a massive new website and a glorious new little girl - but we're all still standing and looking forward to 2006. This year, more than ever, we have to thank you for continuing to support your local independent record store. The bad news is more than 350 independent record stores went out of business this year. The good news is that your support keeps our store alive and thriving. Port Townsend - and you especially - deserve great service from us. Let me know if you ever feel like you're not getting it. We're grateful for your business and want to continue to earn it. If you have any suggestions (or complaints/compliments) feedback is much appreciated - keep it coming to: feedback@quimpersound.com - thanks! And now, on with the show . . . -Contents- 1.

Quimper Sound sells tickets to local events as a community service and never charges a fee. Because we give all the proceeds back to the performers we can only accept cash or checks made out to the performers themselves. All tickets are General Admission unless otherwise noted. -Useful Links- http://www.quimpersound.com http://www.ptguide.com (city guide to Port Townsend - Historic Victorian Seaport) http://musicmavericks.publicradio.org/ (Your tax dollars at work - in a good way!) http://www.centrum.org/ (Washington's home for the arts and creative education) -Privacy Statement- Quimper Sound collects email addresses on a voluntary basis and only for the purposes of sending you this newsletter or other store-related updates. Except for some friends, family and select business associates (whom I took the liberty to sign up myself) every email address used was submitted on a form at Quimper Sound. If you think there has been some mistake, send email to steve@quimpersound.com and I will personally see that your address is removed - I hate spam as much as you do. Your address will never be sold, given away or hinted at. We respect your privacy. Your Rose Theatre ticket stub may now be redeemed at Quimper Sound for $1 off any purchase of $10 or more. This offer is valid for one month from movie date, one stub per purchase. While it's not valid on gift certificates or tickets - there are no other restrictions.
