It’s hard to write one’s own obituary, but in this rare case I have that opportunity.

As of yesterday afternoon, 710 Red River has sold. The new owners immediately informed us that they would be invoking their termination clause in our lease. 60 days and counting. As of now or last day will be October 26th. We’re hoping to maybe just get till Halloween, we’ll see. Fingers crossed.

We’d love to see all our friends with the 59 days we have left and I have some days left open for shows, so hit me up.

We started Valhalla in November of 2009, 17 years. Some amazing times. I’ve been in Austin since 1995 and by that fall I’d started working for Angela at Flamingo Cantina, she is amazing. Later I worked at Room 710 starting sometime in 2000 for my friends, Woody, Adriana, and Asher. Around 2006 I went to work for John at Elysium. While there I cooked up this idea to open Valhalla.

For the last 30 plus years I’ve had the best seat in Austin for local, national and international bands. This scene can be magical. The local talent is and has been some of the best and literally the soundtrack of most of my life. Countless locals bands I couldn’t take out of my CD player (yes I’m old) and now my turntable.
Lest we get sappy, we knew this was coming and it still feels sad but a band aid being ripped off is better than the slow peel.

So, 59 days, I’m sure I’ll shed my fair share of tears in the coming days as I see so many dear friends and regulars and reflect on past times but we’ve got 59 days to make a few more memories.

The stories that are in the walls of 710 red river are my stories and your stories. I’ll miss them.
Love
Seth

FYI delta 8 is now a felony possession in Texas…

Texas now treats any amount of delta-8 THC as felony possession. A person with more than 4 ounces of ma*****na can also be charged with a felony. https://www.kxan.com/news/texas/austin-police-says-officers-will-seize-send-suspected-delta-8-thca-products-to-labs-for-testing/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_KXAN_News
