I know a little about the architecture of EMP- Frank Gehry designed it and the inspiration was from Seattle's Jimi Hendrix- a smashed fender guitar. (another example of artistic waste perhaps- but memorable performance) Ive never seen the place but understand that some (if not all) of the colors on the crazy crushed- looking exterior correspond to selected fender finishes. And there are glass panels that are meant to reference the neck and frets. The concert space is s'posta be good. Anyone been to a show there?

They're currently showing a Springsteen exhibition that I helped a tiny bit with...I'll give that a tout!
