During my Seattle visit I took The Underground tour. Today's Seattle is built on top of the original foundations of the city. This was to prevent flooding since Seattle sits pretty much at sea level. There's a bigger story involved, but basically on this tour you can walk on the original sidewalks of the city.
During my trip to Seattle I got a chance to eat some good food. After I landed we headed to West Seattle, our home base, to The Matador. They have a great happy hour and the most spicy fried calamari I've ever eaten. Yum!
My first full day in Seattle was my sightseeing day. This included the obligatory stop at Pike Place and the popular Piroshky-Piroshky which is right next to the first Starbucks.
Sunday brunch time! I guess brunch is popular all over and not just at LA breakfast hot spots.
We headed to Easy Street which is part diner, coffee bar downstairs, cd shop upstairs. Think Amoeba, but smaller and serving no frills diner food. I ordered the Easy Rider, a breakfast sandwich that puts the Egg McMuffin to shame.
But don't worry; I still love me a McGriddle.
This past weekend I made my way out to Seattle and finally visit my friend Judy. To start off the trip I decided to fly Virgin America which TF raves about. What I didn't tell anyone was that I flew first class on my way to Seattle. The difference between first class and economy is more room and all the amenities you'd normally pay for in economy are included like all the movies, meals and drinks.
A long time ago in a gallery not to far away I stumbled upon the work of Vanessa Matthews. The Soreheads are your inner bad attitude. Don't deny. We're all a bit gloom and doom inside. Vanessa was kind enough to leave a nice message on my blog. Thanks Vanessa!
Because I'm craaaaaaaaaazy.
It's back to WoW and their latest show Crazians. The turn out wasn't as...colorful as the Dial M for Madonna show (read: no drag queens), but there was still some nice pieces in the show. I snapped shots of my standouts from the show.
