There are too many memories to count in that joint, but some ones are:
OK Go, 2003. I was digging their debut album and was excited to see them play, but I hadn't been to too many shows at that point and I remember driving home after OK Go played and skipping the headlining band because I thought they had a stupid name. Now, that band is one of my very, very favorites (Fountains of Wayne). Also, I have many, many friends who went to that show but I didn't know them at the time.
The Divorce, Visqueen, the Girls and the All Girl Summer Fun Band, somewhere in 2003 - where I had picked up a copy of the first issue of ROCKRGRL to include my reviews in it (AGSFB was on the cover) and where I met Dana and Liz.
The Libertines, also in 2003. I think this might be the only show Pete Doherty played in Seattle (like there's any chance he'll get another visa).
Saeta and the Dresden Dolls, 2004.
Rachael Yamagata, 2004. I interviewed her the very next day.
Jon Brion opening for Harvey Danger, 2005.
This year my favorite shows there were Nellie McKay, Imperial Teen and You Am I.
