Awesome!
Lindsay turned me on to this place called Elsewhere; they had a table at

Here is their living Natural Museum:

Check out the video if you get a chance.
Was thinking we could do something where artists are paid to somewhat clean

installations but yet preserve the rawness and atmosphere of the space.
Exciting stuff happening! Yay!
