Okay you guys, this was WAYYYYYY too funny not to share with the StW gang ...

Last Saturday, Trent had a gig in Seattle, but made a quick stop to help set up a thing for the Strangelove-The Depeche Mode Experience show that was happening in Everett. Trent has a nasty case of laryngitis right now, so he can't talk at all. One of the members of the band literally asked Trent if he knew who Depeche Mode was!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😐🤔🙄😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

So naturally, Trent just put a polite smile on his face and nodded, knowing that there's no way for those guys to know who the heck they just said that stupid thing to!!! It's 3 days later and I'm STILL dying over it!!!!! And now you're all in on the joke, too! Also, if any of you know any of the guys in that band, please feel free to inform them of what a massive "derp" they did! ... and that we forgive 'em 🤣😂🪦

In a nutshell, this is what the Pose Productions Presents: As Many Weirdos As Possible: Throwdown In Belltown Featuring DJ Trent Von is about and why YOU need to show up to see it for yourself! I'm honored and humbled to have been chosen as one of the subjects for this retrospective on our community ...

A.M.W.A.P. is a collaborative still life documentary project capturing the legacy of the Seattle that birthed the music the city came to be known for by focusing on the people who made music happen 1985-1995. All the music, all the genres - from hip hop heads to grunge, graffiti writers to record store cashiers - we were the music. And as Seattle continues to evolve into a tech-town and the places where history happened are being displaced, we are honoring the Seattle that was, and helped it become all that it is now.

The name was given to us by Art Chantry, who asked if our plan was to “photograph as many weirdos as possible.” Three Photographers are taking portraits of noteworthy individuals who were influential in Seattle music history in places that tie them to their story. They are also asked to share a favorite memory from this time, in their handwriting as we did pre-Internet, on an 8.5 X 11 piece of paper. These handwritten notes will accompany the individual portraits.
