Cabin Fever Collective: Your Home Away From Home


There’s a cool spot located just down the block from the Lithuanian House named, ‘Cabin Fever Collective’. It is a hybrid facility that offers pinball, records, warm drinks, food and alcohol. It is the average UWA fan’s home away from home. It’s a ‘mom and pop’ type place owned by a couple named Robin and Alex.

I grew up with Alex and got to know him very well over the years. Alex first experienced UWA in and around the year 1997. Since that point I rarely remember not seeing him at a show. If you want a real UWA history lesson, I suggest sharing a beer with Alex sometime. I’m sure he’d be happy to serve you up one of his premium pints.

When I walked through the doors of Cabin Fever last week, I saw Alex’s creative hand everywhere. Alex is a visual artist with the ability to work in most mediums on a very high level. The truth is he is the best cinematographer and animator that I have ever seen. Cabin Fever Collective is a lot like UWA in that both companies are operated by artists. Our companies are our art, and consequently representations of who we are.

I highly recommend visiting Cabin Fever Collective. It is an experience that you will want to share with others.

Tell them Osiris sent you.
