    I believe it's near the Cargo airport? When I was in Seattle last summer, my friend took me there. It was a pretty decent size building, and I know I found the right spot because the doors said Ten Club, LLC and Curtis Management. Anyways, my daughter and I have a picture by the door with the caption "Only this door seperated us from heaven."

    This is what hard work, great tunes and a rabid fanbase can get you, a playground all your own where you can offer your diehards an unending supply of high-end swag, including, at the moment, lush collector's box sets of your albums, plenty of which were in evidence on pallets scattered throughout the building.

    WHAT??! Why are they just sitting there?! I knew it!!!

    We walked through to the sports lounge, with its skating half-pipe and the honorary Johnny Ramone baseball lending library, with the many volumes of baseball biographies collected by Vedder's old pal and punk icon, as well as some of Johnny's baseball autograph books, trading cards and a baseball glove-shaped easy chair.

    i'd go just for this and to have my pic taken with ed ved infront of the ramones stage-curtain backdrop

    That was a fantastic and intriguing read. Why can't we get something like that in Deep magazine with some pictures?

    +1 They should do something like this for Deep magazine. At least show us some pictures of the place!

    Did you ever see the promo video they did for Backspacer or S/T? The live performances were done in that room--in front of the Ramones backdrop.

    I know back in 2003 or so, Metallica had a contest where they flew out a bunch of fan clubbers from all over the world and they spent the day touring San Francisco with the band then took everyone to their HQ, had a BBQ and then a concert in their rehearsal space. They ended up releasing a DVD of the show to the fan club as well I think. Something similar here would be awesome but we all know that will never ever happen.

    I've been there! I even got to go inside for all of 25 seconds (I was just dropping something off). Walked in, handed my item to the receptionist, and walked out, very conscious of the fact that it would probably be my one and only chance to be inside that building...but the fact that I got to be there at all was pretty awesome.
