Change
is in the air all over, and one of the big changes this month goes up
a street.
Red Light Books closed its doors on Broadway last
week, and had been keeping a low profile during the month prior to
the departure. Mixed feelings from the neighborhood and constant
hassles from the city made things difficult for the alternative book
shop, putting it in a difficult position to continue business and
events in spirit of the people who frequented the place. But now Red
Light is ditching the bookstore and moving up a street to 2nd
South to continue as a venue, and as shown in this month's SLUG, as their label Red Light Sounds. I got a chance to chat
with Tia about the book store, the issues over the past year, the
move and new location, and a few other topics that came up. All
along with the last photos of the book store I could take during last
month's Gallery Stroll.

***NOTICE*** The interview is late. This couldn't be
avoided. Due to the time constraints the interview had to be done in
email, and with Tia and Jared in the process of moving they didn't
have time to complete the questions before todays posting. As soon
as they get back with me, everything will be posted. In the
meantime, sorry guys.
