come one come all

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.
