All sorts of great folks here today, John Bedanjek, session musician and former drummer of The Rockets.

I bought a cool little autographed print of Fred Smith from Leni Sinclair – made my day !

Poster designer and fine artist Mark Arminski, one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Local legend.

Huge industrial shake-down street !

You can find finely crafted art objects and giant bras here.
