Skylark Celebrates Three Years In Business With Four Local Acts

Once, Twice, Three Times a Lady-Owned Rock Club

SEATTLE, WA - June 5th, 2009 - The party commences at 8pm with throat-singing, tabla-playing DJ Baba James, continues with the downtempo Deepsleep Narcotics Company, kicks it up a notch with westside country-punk heroes The Stevedore, and culminates with indie rock awesomeness The Apple War. The traditional third wedding anniversary gift is "leather," but we don't recommend wearing it to this show. You'll overheat.

Now Available At Skylark: Shoofly Pie!

We are proud to announce a sweet partnership with Shoofly Pie Company up at the West Seattle Junction. Starting this week, we will be offering delicious desserts by Kimmy and her team of talented bakers, starting with the classic "shoofly pie" itself. If you've never tried it before, you are in for a treat! Think crumbles of molasses, brown sugar, and butter...flaky, sticky, carmelized...mmmmmm. We'll be serving slices oven-warmed and a la mode. Just the thing for after dinner, or for a midnight snack after a show!

"Shoofly Pie Company began in 2004 with a single strawberry-rhubarb pie baking in the oven of the Ballard apartment shared by Kimmy Hsieh Tomlinson and her husband, Zak. Kimmy fell in love with the art and science of baking, and the beautiful simplicity and rustic quality of a good, handmade pie. She started sharing this with friends and family, and soon the dreams of opening a small retail bakery were born."

On Friday we're getting a strawberry-rhubarb pie to celebrate impending summertime, so you can order that one all weekend as well...while supplies last. Don't make me eat it all myself (because I will).
