I googled it....looks like about two blocks west of the train station....so there will be plenty of parking at the structure, but you have to cross harbor and walk west...it is basically behind Steamers Jazz cafe....

GROG posted on 02/09/2014

People may wonder how these three artists qualify as gargantuan.

Kinny----has a GARGANTUAN ego. Plus he's fat.

Big Toe---he's got BIG in his name, so it's pretty obvious he's gargantuan.

Not really sure how Doug qualifies as gargantuan, maybe it'll come to me later.

First Kinny says they are all gargantuans and then he posts a flier making them all look like a bunch of pussies. GROG confused. Does that mean they are all gargantuan pussies?

I think the theme is "Existential Horror" or "Clowns"

Maybe if Lucas not derail every thread him post on and make it about Lucas, Lucas not draw so much animosity. :) You ATTENTION WHORE!!!!! Lucas need to change tag to "I am a sociopath and attention whore" for it to be more accurate description.

Now back to the thread about Kinny, Big Toe, and Doug Horne.

Now,now Grog...Lucas been having major dental surgery and procedure for the last week, so lucas have extra time to screw a around on internet while lucas recover from horrible, horrible experience! Still, Lucas want to support friends like Little lost tiki and go to event..lucas just want to warn everyone ahead of time so that there is no problem. Lucas has received many threats via PM on this forum. Lucas take threats very seriously. Grog understand now?
