Legends in the Lobby: As Many Weirdos As Possible
There’s a new reason to check out the Belltown Art Walk this week: Hotel Crocodile hosts a fireside chat organized by nonprofit As Many Weirdos As Possible, which works to preserve the history of the ’80s and ’90s Pacific Northwest music scene through storytelling. The chat will be moderated by former business partners Jared Lovejoy and Caroline Davenport, who founded a live music venue, a record label, a production company, and a creative agency that pioneered experiential marketing. The speaker lineup is full of legends, from KEXP DJ Darek Mazzone, who founded a nonprofit called SAMA that works to connect cultures through music, to Ricardo Frazer, who’s managed Sir Mix-A-Lot for over 30 years and went from cleaning floors at the Paramount to becoming the chairman of STG’s board of directors. Stop by to hear behind-the-scenes stories and funny anecdotes about what made the local ’90s art scene particularly unique and impactful. SHANNON LUBETICH
