Mishy's chair downtown

Got a fun call today, from a writer for Phoenix Magazine. She is doing a piece on something about 'places to sit' ...I forget her exact wording of her theme, but my chair is one of the pieces she is talking about, so she wanted to get some more information. It will be in the June issue of Phoenix Magazine, in the "Phoenix Files" section. I better get down there and repair it...
