FUSE grand opening next week

ROCK MUSIC RETURNING TO RUSTON >>>

Wikipedia tells us that, "In electronics and electrical engineering a fuse (from the Latin "fusus" meaning to melt) is a type of ..."

Scratch that.

The residents of the Town of Ruston have short fuses due to political bickering and financial struggles ...

Nah.

The Ruston police will fuse ...

No.

I'm at a loss of how to cleverly introduce a new club/café called FUSE - Cafe Imbibery and Events that will open inside the Point Defiance Casino next week. Laurie Kimmel and her "team" have taken over the eastside of the casino, remodeled it, changed the menu and plan to bring "back music to Ruston" she states in an email.

In terms of music, FUSE will concentrate on rock and blues - with the hope of introducing a Sunday young musicians showcase.

Standard "American" fare will be served during breakfast and lunch hours; with a 3-5 p.m. bar menu and specials sheet during nights they host shows.

The official grand opening is 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 2 featuring the R&B band Loose Change from Vashon.
