“For A Good Time” recreates the multi-sensory experience of visiting a quintessential Seattle dive bar bathroom stall around the turn of the 21st century. Both reviled and revered, dive bar bathrooms have long been an unavoidable experience shared by countless customers, concertgoers, and employees alike. Usually filthy, at times romanticized, and imminently endangered in an increasingly gentrified and sanitized city, dive bar bathrooms also provide an anonymous platform for personal artistic expression.
