So another update of what I've been up to. I left Portland yesterday and got to Seattle around 4 pm to meet up with Rachael (my friend from SF) and stay at her place with her boyfriend. The drive up 5 was beautiful and only took a couple hours. We walked around a sweet looking park called Volunteer Park which had a greenhouse, Asian Art Museum, reservoir, Dahlia gardens and a rock castle/spire thingie which you could walk to the top of. I got some cool pictures around the area before we went to eat dinner at this place called Smith in the Capitol Hill district of Seattle. Here's what I was doing before I left Portland.
Sunday - Played a pickup game Sunday afternoon in the SW part of town. It was a pretty chill group: couple girls, two young brothers and the rest were twenties dudes. I forgot what it was like to get out and run, cut and bid for discs. Especially throwing disc golfs recently it wasn't so easy to throw deep, but it all came back eventually. After a couple hours I went to eat this Hot Cake House which gave me a huge chicken fried steak and hashbrowns meal. Damn it was good!
Monday - I went to karaoke Monday night at ChopsticksII with Nicole and met up with her friend Carsten once we got there. I got up and sang Tom Jones' "It's Not Unusual" in my usual manner. It's pretty much the one song I sing if I ever do karaoke. Nicole sang a song from the Dreamgirls movie and then did a duet with Carsten (don't remember the song name). Carsten finished up the night with Fastball's "The Way." I remember owning the Fastball cd when I was a kid. Wow, so long ago, I don't even know what happened to it.
That cool 'black sun' sculpture (which supposedly inspired soundgarden's black hole sun song)(and also look and see the space needle peeking through the hole!!) was located in the park as well.
I'm going to be in the Olympia/Seattle area for the next few days so if anybody wants to meet up for lunch or to show me some cool sights I would totally be down to hangout. Also, if anybody knows of any cool events going on I would appreciate it before I leave, which will most likely be sometime this weekend. Take care everybody!
