This week, Joe talks to Griffin of the Pink Place. The DIY venue is in the process of winding down with just three shows left before it closes up shop. However, that almost did not happen. Griffin, one of the people who runs the venue, was kinda enough to talk with me about why the Pink Place was almost shut down early and how they run such a successful venue. The cover photo was taken during a Pink Place show in July of 2024 by Joe Keyport.
