I’ve been in the Seattle area for a couple of weeks.  I’m continually reminded that I did my trip completely backwards, starting in the colder areas and moving to the warmer areas as the weather improved.  I other words, Seattle is still pretty gloomy.

But, I’ve had a great time here so far, mostly checking about various things in the city, and getting a lot of work done in a place where nobody has much of a reason to bother me.

So far I’ve been to

- Bus Stop (great bar)

- Bleu (great date restaurant)

- Tap House Grill (terrible multitap)

- Rock Bottom Brewery (a good example of a chain brewery)

- Long Provincial Vietnamese (great food, wacky service, though it’s brand new)

- a Circus Contraption show at Theo Chocolate.  (highly recommended.  a circus gone wrong happening as the world is ending outside.  great.)

- Tully’s Coffee in Bellevue (I know coffee is supposed to be better in Seattle, but I dunno)

- Red Hook Brewery in ..? Somewhere north.

Busy couple of weeks.  I also got to hang out with my old friend Meishan from LA (who I hadn’t seen in 9 years!) and Mike (from MD, who I hadn’t seen in at least 5 years). If nothing else, Airstreaming definitely has renewed a lot of good friendships. I leave Sunday for the bay area (14 hour attack run!)..
