DANIEL BLUE: MEET JAMES DARDUNGO >>>

James Dardungo and I bonded in a tent-awning outside of Bob's Java Jive over a chamomile-laced cigarette. Chamomile is calming and a pleasing mellow aromatic smoke.  His friend Potter showed up and I told a Harry Potter joke that made everyone uncomfortable. 

We first met inside the Jive while he was apologizing to everyone about the noisy Tetris arcade unit that he could not get to shut up when the music started. That's OK James; the sound at the Jive is so ear bleedingly loud that no one can hear your video game or your apologizing for that matter. 

Pictured here enjoying a frothy Seattle Pilsner outside of The Monsoon Room, James is looking to the sky in praise of Bacchus, to whom he has given his mortal body.   

Once outside of Mike Ball's house James was zipping around on an orange bicycle and exclaiming about the wonders of 10-speeds. I hope you got your very own bike by now, James.   

He has lived in Tacoma for two years and his favorite part of the whole city is the Port.
