Join for a film and coloring pages. The public is welcomed!

Have you been writing in a frozen format and is your writing stifled by old habits, rules and rituals? Do you feel overwhelmed by your customary writing expectations and goals? Have you been sidetracked away from what seems forbidden in your writing journey?

We have the perfect creative writing class series for you! On Friday March 22nd 2026 from 4PM -6PM Alaska Standard Time via Zoom, John Roedel will guide writers into the treasure chest which exists inside them.

What is the treasure chest? We're sure you guessed it!

Your imagination is the treasure chest.

John leans away from the belief that writers and artists are at the mercy of an external muse, waiting for drips at the fountain of inspiration.

This Tiny Taproom Concert will feature cellist Sean Heismann!!!!

Weekly live music to accompany your dining or drinking. No reservations and the place can fill up quick. Some Fridays might not have a performance, so be forewarned of unexpected cancellations. The playlists on speaker are generally great enough, so either way its worth a Friday night social hour.

Always a wonderful evening! Tickets are $5 for adults, and $1 for youth. Bring a dessert and get your ticket purchase refunded!
