New office coming soon

DK headquarters is a little bit topsy-turvy right now, as we have moved into a new office further up Capitol Hill on 20th Ave. Remodeling and organizing are underway, and I will share more pictures and invite y’all to see it in person once all’s in order— promise! —AM.

Notes from Europe (3): Tender Bananas

** Another dispatch arrives from Dipika, who is in Europe scoping out art scenes everywhere—AM **
“Dude, I’m in Deutchland.
