Andrea Barlow is an elegant potion of sophistication, beauty, intelligence and soul. Though she’s humble about it, she can organize an event with hundreds of people and thousands of moving parts and still have spare bandwidth in the flurry of it all to have the most humanizing and heartfelt conversation you’ve had in a very long time. Her dharma burns strong, and we stop to interview her here at Lower Lights.

Levi “Colossus” Negley is a force of nature (thus, the nickname). He has been a regular at Lower Lights almost four years and his transformation during that time has been something like a supernova giving birth to a new galaxy. He is a father, husband, educator, and modern-day Transcendentalist. We stop to ask him a few questions.
