Thanks for taking the time to transcribe all of this. I lived there when I was about 17 in 1990. I had no idea what I was doing creatively at the time, and really still don't- but I had some important experiences there and met some amazing people. I had forgotten about Jim and Bonny. They were incredibly kind people. I remember Lisa Waering's space had a really cool build out that maybe Mark Bradford had help build. (I could be wrong)

It was definitely an urban wilderness at the time. It was great to learn about the warehouse history as far as its initial purpose and businesses, which I didn't know. Good stuff.

great article. CSAW saw a industrial/noise scene flourish and had several groups gain wider international appreciation like Voice of Eye and Black Leather Jesus.
