We’ve arrived here in Seattle. And yes, the famous rainy weather was
here to greet us. Budget provided us with a cool little black Chevy HHR. Looks like a PT Cruiser, but boxier. Low visibility, but it’ll do.
The drive into Seattle on I-5 showcased an excellent view of downtown and its many unique buildings and the water. After a few missed turns and map checking, we’ve located our home for the next few days – Silver Cloud Inn. Our room is quaint with a waterfront view, faux fireplace, and complimentary high speed internet. Krissy recounts our day of flights and initial drive through town to her mom on the cell.
Our dinner outing is a local eatery reccomended by the kind woman who checked us in – Duke’s Chowder House. We should be starving since it’s 10:30pm FL time, but it’s still an early 7:30 here. Time for food! And what a treat! Krissy had a halibut special and I had award-winning baby back ribs. I also had a cup of cajun chicken chowder which was spicy and flavorful (can’t go to a place with chowde in the name and not try a cup of chowder!). We both had a pint of their local brewed amber which was smooth and tasty. For dessert, we had an immense slice of Butterfinger ice cream cake. It was a fantastic meal.
So its about 7:30am the next morning. Krissy is sleeping in as usual. Today will be our first jaunt into the city to really see some of what Seattle has to offer!

So “The Ghost That Feeds” has been getting a lot of exposure. I’ve had 2 servers nearly go down for exceeding bandwidth from people downloading the track. Thousands have downloaded it. Also I have had reports of it playing on KWOD 106.5 in Sacramento, KNDD 107.7 The End in Seattle, WBRU in Providence, RI, and on a station in Southern Ontario in Canada! Pretty amazing.
