I remember when Johanna & I were scoping out places to have the party of our dreams “Fuzion” back in 2004. We had a few places in mind, but there was something about that place called Rampart that was definately majic. Now to track down the owner, Steve. It was hit & miss, but finally we hooked up. I came to him with a written dream and proposed that we had an event of sorts with music,art, food & spirits. He was hesitant at first, but I could see his eyes & mind calculating the dream. Soon he agreed to let us throw this shindig with a maximum of 50 people. Well it turned out to be a couple hundred. I remember Steve saying with a grin from cheek to cheek that this was the most fun nite that he’d ever had. From this first party came Ramparts Artist Co-op, the meetings of lifetime friends, co-festivalers, partygoers, producers, fashion shows, firedancing & a slew of great talents. We are sad that you are gone Steve. You were definately one of Tacoma’s most interesting characters. Thanks for beleiving in all of us and allowing us to grow in your home the Rampart. RIP.
