Kevin, Crafton and I hit up Seattle. From our hotel near the Space Needle we walked to the Puget Sound and the wharf. After evading the seagulls poopfest (see photo #1) we hit the aquarium (see photo #2 and #3). Note to you, skip the aquarium and fly to Chicago to see the Shedd Aquarium. It’s 10x better from what I remember when Emma and I visited it back when I was living out there.
After the aquarium we hit up Pike Place Market (peep photo #4). It’s like the market on Pier 39 in San Fran, and also was the home to the very first Starbucks. There were four dudes singing gospel outside. They were rad. Crafton was digging it.
After that we wandered into a cool record shop. I got talking about hip (like jazz/blues) Christmas music with the manager. Etta, Ray and even B.B. have Christmas albums. I don’t remember much of the convo except the nose-pierced girl that rang me up.
The only bad news from today was that the lecture series with photographer, ANNIE LEIBOVITZ, at the Benaroya Hall was sold out. I guess that’s a good thing in a way. Had I been able to see her and her photos tonight my head may have blown up from “goodtimes” overload. And Lord knows I can’t have that happen right before ski season.
