As he walks thru the door he announces to the room “well, I got two things out of the way, now I’m ready to go!” I swear, sometimes it’s like going around with a five year old.

Today was the last full day in Vashon/Seattle. Went to the space needle, and up it. Then took the monorail to the public market. Walked around for a bit, then a quick duck in to Sub Pop, and hauled ass to catch the fast ferry back to Vashon for dinner, which is whatever fish our friends bought from the market.

Did you pick up anything at Sub Pop? Does it have memorabilia and shit or is it just a record store?

I picked up a tee and a crewneck sweatshirt. They’ve got some records, tapes, books, and knickknacks. They even has some pj stuff.Ello Sailor wrote:Did you pick up anything at Sub Pop? Does it have memorabilia and shit or is it just a record store?
It was smaller than I thought, but still cool.

Re: Talk about your day thread
Last day in Paris. Head to the airport at 1:00 for 3:00 flight. I had breakfast at the hotel then went with Mrs Wease and the Weaselings to Cafe de Flore and had hot chocolate and some delicious sorbet. Lemon is pretty much always my favorite but the pear sorbet I had was quite exceptional. Very humid today and everything just feels sticky and yucky. Very tired today. We’ve been going nonstop and pretty much the only real stop we’ve taken is when we met with VinylGuy. Other than that, it’s been up at 5am, GO GO GO, back to room about 11pm, crash by midnight, repeat… And it’s caught up with me. My knees and hips still ache and I’m dead tired. Glad today is a travel day and we’re pretty much finished with all the rushing here.
Next stop, Venice!
Next stop, Venice!
