The Coop Ducks Out, Come Say Goodbye!

This is sad times. Thanks for all yr efforts!

Hmmm. our PA speaker is blown, but I think the amp is still good. Talk to me sometime!

The building may change but the spirit goes on.

LONG LIVE BRAINSTAINS / THE COOP!!!

Fuck.
I'm really going to miss that place.

the coop was a disgrace to the portland music scene... thank fucking mother gaia its gone. | it will always remain brainstains at heart |

Fuck the portland music scene. We like cool people who respect our shit and the community that we support. Community is rad, fuck your scene. Go spend your last $3 on your favorite malt beverage of the week, stiff the touring bands and throw up in somebody elses yard.

the coop had over 100 all ages shows in the year and a half of its operation. that sure is disgraceful....

This is very sad. Only further proof that all good things must come to an end. Long Live the Coop in memory and spirit!

We love love love all of you... We will be their in spirit for sure. You we're our favorite place to play.. I don't look forward to having to find a new home base for shows when we come home!

Much love.

Goodbye! I don't know what was the best; the music, the people, or the ducks. definitely going to miss the coop.

worst.
news.
ever.

boo.

I will miss the coop.

The last show at the coop ever is July 12th (Day 4 of Resistance Fest.) Come out and pay your respects. Except B@D Y3LLOW B!TCH, you can go fuck yourself.

The Coop was the first venue where I really felt welcome. There was no "who's that new guy" vibe, or trendy not-here-for-the-music crowd. I'm really excited to be so involved in the community (not the damn scene) the way I am now, and it couldn't have happened without The Coop.

Let's make these last shows memorable.

Love.

Is it cool if I drink my malt beverages and puke in your lawn as long a I support the touring bands?

This is way sad. I've had so many awesome times at Brainstains/The Coop.

Noooo!

we are proud to have played the coop.

rip.

This is a heavy weight to carry. That house has meant family for a long time now. I can just hope that something or someone or some house can pick up where it leaves off.

Jay--When can we start pooping? ahh it's a joke.

The Coop was the first place I've called home in many, many years. I love everyone I met here. We will not destroy it, we will clean it out and respect the motherfuckers that are taking it over. Anyone who's down should come help.

I'll be there Sunday. As we all know, Yellow Cocksucker can go fuck themselves. Keep playing in saturday market with all your pretend to be homeless friends.

As for the garage sale, I was wondering if I could get dibs on two microphones? I need some bad.

Fun to the last. Thanks for giving people a place to be.

thank you everyone at the coop who has helped me find good friends and thank you for being a safe place to hang out. i had a lot of amazing times at the coop and will always remember the long trek on the #75 bus to get there.

much love forever to the community and all the beautiful people.

damian and crew you guys were fuckin awesome..one of the best house venues in pdx..you guys werent pretentious like so many who run houses in town...thanks for being so accomodating and for fuckin dancin at our shows..you will be missed! -brian
