I headed to Love City Love on Seneca Street on a dark, dank night. I recalled visiting an earlier iteration of LCL, though memory can be as ephemeral as these temporary art spaces. This was the second time I visited LCL at its Seneca Street location on Capitol Hill in Seattle. The spot on Seneca is humble in its ebullience. I dried-off and warmed up from the humid drizzle while Otis Calvin spun electronic beats. There were maybe four or five people milling about, including local hip-hop artist Specs Wizard.

Beats flowed while someone rolled around on a vintage bicycle.

I snapped images of a phone booth installation, which evoked a street art vibe. The tone was urban, refined, and sophisticated. Tilson was cozying up on a couch when Lucien Pellegrin arrived. I had met Mr. Pellegrin there prior when he was making an espresso but I saw no remnants of that past experiment.

Tilson greeted Lucien. I later learned Lucien is the motivation behind the phone booths.

A couple folks absorbed the occasion on folding chairs and a couch. A stuffed husky– not taxidermy– guarded the booths.

I exited past the glowing, active, and east-facing neon.
