Saturday, August 18, ALL DAY LONG:  The Second Every-Third-Saturday Bridge-Loan-Payback Day.  Folks, Tsunami has agreed to a Lease that offers us 5 more years plus a 5 year option.  To get into a position to deal for this Lease we had to create a short-term, minimal interest loan process.  We call them Bridge Loans, and they are different form the hundreds of Pledges we humbly received (some of which are more long-term loans, some of which are gifts).  Various members of the Tsunami Community quickly stepped-up to help, and one of the most heartful moments ever at Tsunami occurred.  Tsunami Books is absolutely dedicated to paying back these Bridge Loans from the Community ahead of schedule.  To do so is the least we can do to thank you for the help; and, further, it will help guarantee our thriving over the years ahead.  To that end: 100% of all Bookstore sales, including gift certificates (excluding money to musicians and consignors) on the Third Saturday of every month will go directly to the payback of all Bridge Loans.  Folks, this is a direct way to both thank the Community that stepped up, and to be a part of the greater Community that is a pleasure and honor to be a part of here at Tsunami Books.
