'Experience Music Project' by Frank Gehry.
Several years back, probably 1998-1999, I was selling some items on eBay in order to generate some extra cash in order to buy textbooks. I put a selection of some of my 7" vinyl up for bid, mostly indie stuff from the Washington DC area.
Two days later I received an-e-mail from an individual sending me their address, with a note to the effect that they were confident that their bid was sufficient to meet any counter-offers I might receive on a parcticular item. The destination: The Experience Music Project, which at the time was under construction.
The 7" in question was a copy of Yes She Is My Skinhead Girl from Unrest released in 1991 as a joint release between K Records of Seattle, WA and Teenbeat Records of Arlington, VA. It was acquired by EMP in an attempt to complete a collection of music released by the various homegrown Seattle record labels.
Turns out there was only one other bid, so EMP got it for a bargain price. And although I was hoping to get more for it, it's rather cool to think that one of my old records is now resding at EMP.
