Rumors 10 Year Anniversary Party
Rumors Coffee and Tea House is celebrating its 10-year anniversary and is holding a party on Thursday, June 20 from 5-8 p.m. The evening will feature snacks and desserts as well as wonderful music provided by Fox and Bones. Fox and Bones, from Portland, Oregon, are the modern day Bonnie and Clyde, if Bonnie and Clyde had driven a Volvo and played folk-pop music. Rather than simply documenting their experiences in song, Sarah Vitort and Scott Gilmore write from the perspective of quasi-fictional characters.
