Last year's string of photo shoots ended on a high note when the Seattle cult band BRAD, including Seattle legend Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam, came to ULS to be photographed by the amazing Daniel Zetterstrom.  Check out his work here. Below is a behind the scenes shot of the photo shoot by David Eader, check out his work here.

BRAD has released a total of 4 albums between 1993 and 2005.  Their 5th album is due to be released in early 2012, this should be very exciting news to those hard core followers out there since you have been waiting 7 years!
The band is comprised of Shawn Smith (vocalist), Keith Lowe (bassist), Regan Hagar (drummer) and last but certainly not least, Stone Gossard (guitarist).  These guys are seriously the nicest group of guys and incredibly cool.  As they moved through the rooms at ULS in front of Daniel's camera, they listened to the likes of Hendrix, Floyd and Zeppelin and expressed their love for these bands and chatted about music pretty much the whole time.
Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of their new album and support not only a local legend, but a solid, music-loving group of dudes:)

We had a fantastic time at the Seattle Wedding Show talking to so many excited couples (more about our awesome experience at the show later). After the dust settled Sunday evening and the ULS crew was decompressing over a few cocktails, we realized that many people have one big misconception about our space: our size! Did you know that in 2011 we averaged about two weddings per week? We can’t believe it either! Of those events, the vast majority (at least 90%) were weddings. The average size was just over 100 people, with weddings as intimate as 40 and as large as 250.

Here, get the skinny on just how big of a party you can throw in this place with a good ol’ Q & A session.

We will build a gallery show....before your very eyes! A live drawing event featuring original, on-the-spot artwork created by Seattle's Bureau of Drawers.  Watch as blank walls fill with all new art from the talented hands of a dozen artists.  All art for sale, don't miss it! [..]
