Hello Goons, Here in Seattle, there's a building called the 619. It's 100 years old, and for the past 30 years has been home to over 100 artists, making it the oldest, largest living arts building on the West coast. Now, due to construction of a ridiculously inefficient 4.2 billion dollar tunnel project, the building has been declared unsafe and everyone is being force to move out. http://indiegogo.com/619 I believe that the existence of this building represents something that is rare and uniquely valuable in our financially-driven society - pure artistic expression. The residents of this building live in near-squalor, but have been opening their doors to the public to experience art in its rawest form for 30 years. The 619 Western building was at the forefront of the First Thursday Art Walk, which began in Seattle and is now a common event all over the country. This building is a piece of Seattle's history, and an important piece of art history as well. Anyway, the trailer says it all- it would be amazing to generate some support for this project. It would be a shame to let a story like this fade into memory.
