wow what a weekend ... smashing all the way. i had such a good time. :) quick run down of our weekend ...

sat. we got there and didn't do too much ... had dinner and took in some sights but nothing much ... we were in fremont, a city a little outside of downtown seattle. it was nice there ... really mom and pop store-ish which was rad. sunday spend all day in downtown seattle doing the tourist stuff like pike's market and checking out the waterfront and pioneer square and blah blah blah ... later that evening we went and saw radiohead. oh my gosh so good ... i'm pretty pumped about the la show now ... THEY ARE SO GOOD LIVE. ack :) man was i happy or what ... totally rocking out. the venue itself was alright ... the getting out of the parking lot was FU**ING BAD. (shiver) bad bad bad memories which i would like to erase. blech.
monday we went to bumbershoot this festival they have in seattle every labor day weekend and just hung out. we went to the emp (experience music project) which was the brain child of paul allen ... one of the microsoft dudes. the emp was cool cause there is so much about music in there ... and a lot about nirvana as well. later that evening we stood in line for R.E.M. and got front row center .... you can't do better than that. oh my goodness ... R.E.M. ROCKS :) they are unbelieveable live and i'm in love with michael stipe .. he has such stage presence ... it was beyond wonderful. that had to be one of the biggest highlights of the trip.
tuesday we went and checked out kurt cobain's house and the park with the famous benches. it was nice but eerie at the same time. to think that kurt cobain lived in the house and use to walk the grounds less than 10 years ago ... very haunting. and so we said our farewells to seattle ....... until we meet again :)
