Funny story:

Back in 1988 when Annex Theater was just starting, bands in Seattle couldn't
play at venues where "the kids" could see them because of some draconian
teen dance ordinances. A benefit for a non-profit was the only place they
could play. And there were no clubs to speak of back then, only the Vogue
and the frat bars down in Pioneer square. So we had Nirvana, Soundgarden,
Mother Love Bone (I think) The Posies, Girl Trouble and many others playing
at our theater after our regular shows. 

The funny part is that while a musical revolution was happening 20 feet
away, I remember being worried that these punks were trying to sneak booze
and drugs into the space and were writing on the walls in magic marker and
stuff. One time Mark Arm (Mudhoney) was goofing around with part of the set
and I yelled at him so furiously he dropped it and broke it.

Well, I never said I was hip....
