In reality it wasn't short lived at all. It had been doing shows since late 1998 or early 1999 as the Elliott guys were (all?) living there, practicing and recording. They also were doing pretty regular art shows and music shows and often combining the two with folks like Thomas Delisle and Michael Ratterman heading up the organizational front. The first show I remember was The Aasee Lake playing there. My favorite memory was a pretty raucous Halloween Eve show with an estimated 800 folks dressed up having a nice time and the cops busting the party during the Parlour set.

At some point in early 2003 all the Elliot guys had moved out and the space changed hands to some old roommates of mine headed by Jesse Hargis who had recently taken an interest in recording bands. It was then that the above description took place in a short lived run as a more advertised 'venue' began. A great space for art shows and music and it hopefully will be revived at some point. - Connor Bell
