Roq La Rue is the best gallery ever

OK, maybe I need to see more galleries before I make that bold proclamation, but it is pretty fucking cool. I was in there last night for a show of Travis Louie, who asks the question; What do monsters do on their day off?

                                        They dress up and take Victorian style portraits. like gentlemen.

The Library is No Place for Stoners.

If M.C. Escher and Stanley Kubrick had a a baby and then fed that baby a radioactive plutonium rod then it would be the Seattle downtown public library. I just  ventured there today and wandered around it like a lost child. The escalator to the top made my synapses explode leaving me with only one thought; how the hell can people read in here?
i had gone to the library with intent, with a purpose. I wanted to better myself, but instead was distracted by the dizzying view of the lobby from the perch on the top floor.
Any way I am on board for the cannonball read this summer and am trying to get a solid book list together. I already plowed through two books by Chuck Palahniuk that were supposed to be on my list. What can I say I am a premature reader; always have been and I am comfortable with it. I need to go to the small more conservative library in Ballard.
