Writing on the table with a Sharpie:

  • Crustodio
  • Pete Best

Established in 1983 in Dayton, Ohio, the Graffiti Table is currently operating out of the Pacific Northwest. Share the pop culture obsessions of these former college roommates. Watch and listen as a Seattle actor/copywriter and Portland musician/designer age very reluctantly.
