the dormant heart of the perfect room - will it beat again?

dear perfect roommates,

we are seeking your rejoinder in a typical sunday afternoon - the falls still fall and the ocean comes ashore in wave upon wave of softly coiled vapor - so why not find a niche and scratch it. more to come - there always is ... lets not wait for the next bus - we can walk from here.

the perfect room is still homeless

dear perfect roommates

still here - in the land of nod - the fulcrum and the perfect room on haitus - waiting for sixty acres somewhere above the sea between san francisco and juneau.

anyone know of anything?

welcome to the virtual perfect room, a companion to the actual perfect room, once a weekly and now an occasional performance and poetry showcase headquartered, once upon a time, in an old brick and wood building at the head of the duwamish industrial area, the DIA.

that building was known far and wide as the Romaine Electric Building, and for ten years it was home to the raggiest taggiest group of wierdos, artists, and bums like me. its rooftop was full of pigeons and starlings, and inside several dogs and quite a few cats.

through it all, performances radiated from the building throughout the lowlands and high of seattle washington of the recently deceased USA.

now the perfect room lives the way the temptations papa did - wherever it lays its hat is its home.

more shows to come, in various locations.
