Hi Folks,

This is a very informal update as, as you've probably noticed, our
newsletter is on temporary hiatus. First of all, I wanted to remind everyone
that we will be closing the store at 901 Water St. for good at 6pm tomorrow
(Sunday the 25th). We'll be closed Monday - Friday to move into our new digs
and re-opening on Saturday, July 1st at 230 Taylor St. So... if you've got a
special order that's waiting for you, if you want to take advantage of our
10% off clearance sale or if you just want to get one last wiff of old
carpet/poster/mill smell - now's the time! This also means that any special
orders that haven't already arrived will probably be in on Saturday July 1st
at our new location.

GRAND RE-OPENING! We will be re-opening in our new space a week from today
and it's going to be a party. Vickie and Michael Townsend will be playing
around noon and George Rezendes and the Dwyer Family will be playing later
in the afternoon as well. There will be half-price espresso drinks all day
(and night) and a free ticket to see the "independent record store classic"
High Fidelity midnight at the Rose just for stopping by! If you missed our
first announcement about the new space see below. Oh, and we still need one
or two part-time barristas - if you are interested please send a cover
letter and resume to jobs@quimpersound.com - email only please, no calls or
drop-ins. Thanks - see you Saturday!


And now for the biggest announcement in the storied 32+ year history of
Quimper Sound. *
WE'RE MOVING!*

On July 1st, we'll be re-opening as Quimper Sound & The Analog Lounge in our
new space in the lobby of the First American Bank Building at 230 Taylor -
directly across the street from the Rose Theatre. We'll be tearing down the
wall between what was (is) the Lavender Shop and what was Sol Imports and
opening up the whole lobby. It's a glorious space and we're really excited
about all the new things we'll be able to do for you to enjoy. A small
sampling includes:

*Music:*
      1) Expanded selection - including more DVDs, records, imports and
specialty CDs
      2) Record Vault - The original (and intact) bank vault is being
converted into vinyl and used CD space with a turntable/cd listening bar and
a lot more new vinyl.
      3) Live music - a small stage (big enough for three or four acoustic
musicians) for scheduled in-store concerts and impromptu performances.

*Coffee Bar:*
      1) Coffee! We'll be introducing a coffee bar - complete with full
espresso service and a fine selection of teas and select treats.
      2) Comfort. In conjunction with the coffee bar there will be a couch,
loveseat some tables & chairs and a totally chill-out vibe.
      3) Play Pit. Our employees have always been "family friendly" - now
our space is too.
      4) Free Wireless Access

*Extended Hours:*
      1) We'll be open weeknights until 10pm and MIDNIGHT on Friday and
Saturday night!
