022. Showbox

It might seem a little tacky for me to do a post on Showbox but I'm gonna do it anyway! I'm not writing this as a clubber or a promoter but as a Seattlite that appreciates this amazing venue.  Showbox, now called "Showbox at the Market", is an iconic club and concert venue nestled in the heart of Downtown Seattle.  Opened in 1939,  Showbox has hosted some of the greatest artists in the world Duke Ellington, the Ramones, Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, Musiq (which I witnessed first hand).  It's a standing room only venue that makes you feel the music and just vibe w/ the atmosphere.  I don't know what it is about this place that just makes you surrender to it.  I can't deny attending an event at Showbox!  Maybe it's because I used to party there at NVRMT and Juliblasian events, I dance on stage for the first time there, I've said Hello and Good-bye to many a friend there, I also hosted my first party there... I don't know if I'll ever figure out what it is about Showbox that makes concerts so much better and club events so classic.  But I have to say; this place has a sway of its own.  If you've ever set foot in there you know what I mean!  Cheers to you Showbox.
