Quimper Sound Music & Media
W. 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!
If you have any suggestions (or complaints/compliments) feedback is much appreciated - keep it coming to: feedback at quimpersound.com - thanks! And now, on with the show . . .
