Etherea update

Straight from the horses mouth, here is the latest from Etherea. Etherea is closed for business now as we wait & hope for Etherea employee Brion to get the lease on the space and open his own store. Stay tuned for further developments.

"Many of you have been bewildered by the blogging that has been going on about the closing of Etherea (specifically the Brooklyn Vegan post about Etherea being "saved"). Well, here's the real story. My lease here on Avenue A is ending and I intend to move on from 13.5 years of the music retail biz to pursue a new career.

I have been supportive of their efforts, and I hope to report good news very soon..."
