With this in mind I share some cool news about a very special exhibit happening in March on the Left Coast. Check it out.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: I don’t have much to add about this terrible development and only hope that those who are in dire need of it are able to find some healing comfort as soon as possible based on Chester’s actions. I know that many of our readers loved him. I raised a glass to his memory as a part of our In Memoriam narratives and you can read Chester’s HERE. Please feel free to leave your own thoughts on how special he was to you on that memorial reflection. Be safe and be strong my friends. All the best to everyone in the LP family.
