There was a strong rock ‘n’ roll scene happening in downtown Olympia when I first got here; it was going on when Calvin [Johnson] was going to high school. Then there was this Evergreen thing, where all these smart, hip kids from around the world came here. It was like a magnet for them. And during the time that the New Delhi was putting on rock ‘n’ roll shows, those two cultures merged and created what is here now; the stick-in-the-mud townies and the starry-eyed altruists got together.
