Given Seattle’s music history, you never know who will make an appearance during a concert there.

After stumbling upon Mr. Chicken‘s Instagram earlier this summer, we had that exact thought. Mr. Chicken is, well, a rubber chicken, and is somewhat of an internet sensation. He’s amassed over 700,000 followers on TikTok, and
In early 2021, if you were following Squnto on social media, you probably saw some really troubling posts.
