Shoot! I should take a picture of Joel's table of KZO joy before it's destroyed by drunks. Ironically, this table was found in a Ballard alley by Joel's pal and KZO collaborator Brett Westfall last year for the Unholy Matrimony installation. Handy!

Some illegal club in Seattle
Leo's friends were playing a show at this illegal music venue. It was BYOB so we B our own Gs (growlers). When we arrived, the place was packed and we weaseled our way to the front and sat on the floor at the feet of the lead singer. The crowd was enthralled with there experimental, ethereal rock. It was heavy and sweet. The next band was not as good so we left.
