Downtown's New Elysian Bar Sounds Pretty Damn Great The hiring of Murray Stenson was the first clue that the brewery's latest project isn't a pub.

Murray Stenson On the Move After Leaving Il Bistro Back in October, Eater caught up with Murray Stenson, who was stirring up cocktails at Il Bistro after a little resume gap. At the time, he said that he would...

As most of you probably already know, Murray is back to work! Fittingly, he is lighting up the room at Il Bistro, where he presided over the Seattle bar scene for the decade of the '90s. Who says you can't go home again? Welcome back, Murray!

With Murray back on his feet, MurrayAid has met its goals and is wrapping up, with only a little final accounting left to do. See the link below for details. Thank you to everyone involved for your generosity of spirit (and of wallet!) It has been a great honor--and a heck of a lot of fun--to be a part of this effort. http://murrayaid.org/news/march-murrayaid-update

MurrayAid Goals Met MurrayAid has met its goals and is wrapping up

Hi Everyone
Great news! Murray had heart surgery about a week ago. The surgery went really smoothly and so far recovery is going well. He was discharged this morning and is back at home, happy to cozy up on the couch with his two beloved cats.

Big thanks to the great nurses, doctors, surgeons and other staff at UW Medical Center.

And big thanks to all of you for your continued support.

Murray and Amy

The MurrayAid fund has now topped $200,000 at the end of week 9... $201,449.09, to be exact. Murray Christmas, EVERYONE!!

The last of the scheduled Seattle events took place last Sunday at Greenleaf, netting $2,800 for MurrayAid. That brings the total of Seattle events to over $80,000, with a couple venues yet to report. A tip of the hat to all Seattle bar folk for pulling together and taking care of one of their own.

For a comprehensive update on the status of MurrayAid and Murray's condition, go to our just-relaunched new website at www.murrayaid.org. Click on the most recent News article on the home page for details (thank you Ingeniux Corporation for donating the software, design work, and implementation services for this site, and to Stevi for content entry).

Here's a thumbnail summary: MurrayAid has raised over $194,214 to date(!), and the total continues to rise as event donations from over 50 events continue to come in. We have set a final goal of $225,000 for the fund. Murray's surgery is tentatively scheduled for early January.

We wish you well, our friend! You'll be back behind the bar in no time.
