The gallery

Twelve nights,none of them staged

Somebody on staff nearly always has a camera. These are the frames that came back worth keeping, from the front bar at six to the back room at two.

A neon-lit corner on a misty street with wet pavement reflecting the glow
West Colfax on a wet Friday, about ten minutes before the line starts.
A person in a leather jacket, hat and red sunglasses posing against a plain wall
Leather & Levi, second Friday. Coat check is free and always full.
A blurred city street at night with bright billboards and streaking headlights
The walk up from the Perry Street stop. Fifteen minutes, mostly downhill.
White boots with red soles resting on a mirrored disco ball
The mirror ball is original to the building. It comes down once a month.
A warmly lit room with wooden furniture, pendant lights and people walking past
Front bar at six, before the room fills and the volume finds its level.
A dreamlike street scene of neon signage and blurred figures in pastel tones
Last call, and the slow argument about where everyone is going next.
A retro turntable with a record spinning and the dust cover raised
Vinyl Vault. Two decks, no laptops, and a crate you have to carry in yourself.
An open-air bar terrace with a long counter and wooden stools at sunset
The patio in October. Heaters on, chili on, nobody going home early.
Abstract trails of neon light against a blurred urban background
Boots & Bass, somewhere past midnight, from the top of the back stairs.
Hands raised and clapping together with warm light behind them
Chili cook-off, the moment the fundraising total gets read out.
Motion-blurred figures moving under streaks of neon light
Pool league finals. Both tables running, bracket chalked on the wall.
Streaks of red, yellow and green neon light against a dark background
The back room, lit the only way it has ever been lit.
