RIP AHyppa's Basement

Last night a crowd gathered to take part to memorialize a site that has played a large part in Tacoma's history, AHyppa's infamous basement, the home of Hoodstock '09. This sight has brought many people together, they laughed, they cried, they raged, they even made babies. Ok, maybe not the latter, but it is that amazing a location. On the night of August 29, 2009 that basement held it's final festivities, loaning out its floors to the performances of 10th and Commerce, EvergreenOne, J.Hill and John Crown.

AHyppa welcomed all with open arms, after hearing a calling from above, "If you text them, they will come."



The Hip-Hop/Rock/Funk/20 other genre band 10th and Commerce rocked a live set and got the party started off right. They even started filming "Fade to White" (lame hip-hop joke, but its my blog, so shut up!).




Then EvergreenOne graced the party with his presence to get everyone ragin'.




In the end it was an night of epic proportions that will long be remembered. AHyppa's basement will forever be a piece of Tacoma History and be remembered as the Northwest equivalent of Woodstock.

Yours truly and the man, the myth, the legend, AHyppa!
