Ziggy ! Mike is a great guy, good friend, awesome drummer in several projects on the EastSide, including The Classics.

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 !

I just kept thinking of the Colbert Report for some reason….

Inside the building is the usual Russel Street bazaar.

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