Comments on Help the Helm

Right on, Jen. The Helm is worth saving.

One more thing, I do like the Helm for its are and occasional indie rock shows, but who gives a shit if *Seattle* artists show there?

Sean Alexander, one half of Helm, designed it!

tacoma is all douche bags

Jen, by saying that it's like "no one's watching" are you saying that the Tacomans who visit the Helm are "no ones"? Maybe not an intentional dig, since you used to live there and seem to support the Tacoma art scene, but very poorly chosen words at best...

bonstra, you're making me ill with your petty, insecure whining. like physically.

blank, sounds like both you and bonstra need a thicker skin.

Go Helm -- don't die on us!

Yeah, Tacoma! the Helm is worth helping, too bad no one saved The Black Front Gallery in Olympia ...

Whooot! Kudos to Jen Graves!
It's not everyday a writer has the balls to talk up Tacoma in a Seattle rag.
You were very brave and honorable Ms. Graves. So far the Seattleophiles haven't been too intolerable in response.

Instead of driving, you could take the express bus from University and 43rd and it would be a heck of a lot cheaper ...

But, hey, throw money at the Saudis ...

Good for Jen for posting this. But why does it take "balls" to write about a Tacoma gallery? It shouldn't -- the Stranger is distributed in Tacoma (and all over the Puget Sound) -- it's not just for/about Seattle anymore.

Wow, official Tacoma recognition in the Stranger? nyyyyceeee.

I don't just like Tacoma, I love Tacoma.

The posters are pretty cool ... picked mine up during last week's Art Walk and was drawn in by the siren song of one of the pieces in the current Fire! Fire! show as well, and plunked down some more cash for a very reasonably priced piece that appeals to by affinity for the written word as well. I know many folks who were overwhelmed by the show ... which only runs through tomorrow (Sunday) ... check it out!
