Vacation Day 1

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!

  • The Ghost That Feeds Follow-Up

    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.
