well, i just got back from coffee mecca (also known as seattle). it was ab fab. my three favourite parts were R.E.M. ha! but seriously. we were able to get to the front of the pit and i have (and probably never will) seen R.E.M. so closely before. plus they were in top form. radiohead was also good. it was a music filled weekend. we visited the EMP (experience music project) as well. good times.
