The Fingers girls have never been so happy to see a statue. We traveled a long way to get to Disney.

I might have to start a separate thread for this eagle. It did win the super bowl after all. I think I’ll name it Foles. This is amazing just happened to tune in as it landed seconds before it covered the eggs.
Btw this is a great thread. It keeps me from buying more crap I don’t need. Sort of.

Sitting on the side porch doing my morning coffee & TB ritual, and this little fella landed at the bottom of the stairs and pecked around for a hot second. A blue jay, I do believe...
Bonus photo of our house from the sidewalk last nite... you can see the porch lit in purple, and my private chamber is located directly above. I can also custom paint your room in the animal print of your choice for a nominal fee

(TL/DR, skip the history lesson to go right to the pix of where we currently rehearse at 
It's a beautiful building!)
Our rehearsal space is in an iconic Seattle historic repurposed brewery located in the Sodo industrial neighborhood... just a stones throw from downtown and the sportsball stadiums. It was built in 1884, and brewed the locally famous Rainier Beer here before selling off to Stroh's in the mid-90's. It literally is like the PBR of beers (also owned by Stroh's.) Certainly not in my top 10 choices when grabbing a 6er, but it is verrry popular here (we have a lot of hipsters and poor/ cheap people
.)
Anyway, the building is pretty spectacular, and I'm glad it wasn't torn down when vacated in the name of progress. It's been nicely sectioned off & redone on the inside for a variety of uses, while leaving the beautiful brick main structure as intact as possible. It hosts work lofts, artists galleries, event spaces, storage units, and dozens of music rehearsal spaces in a variety of sizes.
Here's an overall layout arial photo (not mine) that gives a good view of it's many sections. This was actually taken in the history of the building's darker days, when Tully's Coffee bought it, and replaced the large neon 'R' with a 'T' (fortunately, that didn't last long.) >
^ the rehearsal spaces are mostly on multiple levels of the taller green section in the very center of it all, and our section is in the deepest of the center bowels of it all
(Some would argue this time pictured below to be the building's darkest days... when it was between buyers, and was taken over by the homeless, junkies, and a few other overlooked groups with no where else to do their thing. Personally, I can appreciate decent colorful graffiti art and urban decay, so I think this photo is beautiful (tho, is another not taken by me) >
Ok, let's start the tour!
We go in though this little cut thru the center from the lot, surrounded by all the rad old brick work >
Once inside the heavy duty outside keylocked door, we're immediately confronted with a series of origional corridors & stairs, as well as some inside doors leading to our floor's rehearsal areas that require a separate less common key >
After the few first days of leaving a trail of crumbs to get to our private space, we pretty much figured a good portion of the maze out. Here's our section of corridor with about 8 other spaces adjacent >
^ the rooms themselves are quite clean, well sound protected, all include free WiFi, as well as any garbage and electricity costs, plus parking.
Come take a peek inside suite SMS and see where our magic happens! (These doors take individual combination locks, which we all can access 24/7 as long as we don't forget our other keys.)
Our space is one of the smaller band rooms at approx 10'x12', mainly because we didn't want to share with anybody else. It's tight for drums, 3 guitars, and a vocalist, but we make it work. The extremely high ceilings and big loft shelf really help open it up. I attempted to include another of the south wall where the Ampeg stack and our rythym players Vox live among life sized posters of the Cramps' Poison Ivy (which I will be buried with), but that one only came out as a blur.
One last thing I get a kick out of is this sign on the closest bathroom (for some reason, those are always gross and trashed, if not completely out of order!) >
Here is one of mine from the outside last year, catching a near full moon in the frame at dusk >
I hope you've enjoyed this photo tour and history lesson
