How’s that for a headline? Can’t you just hear the newsiessinging screaming that one? As it turns out, two weekends ago I went to NYC for a Snuggie Pub Crawl (and also met a friend). This weekend, I went to Seattle to visit a friend… and almost went on a Snuggie Pub Crawl!
"Pub Crawl or Bust!" - soon to be printed on the front of my Snuggie
Alas, my travelling compadres on this latest sojourn weren’t too keen on picking up some “Slankets” (as they were referred to on last week’s 30 Rock), and we opted for traditional bar hopping, which was just as well. Albeit Seattle was a tad cooler than New York the week prior (making “blankets with sleeves” more comfy), which is ironic, because NYC is simply ‘cooler.’ No offense, Seattle, but no other city can compete.
SIDENOTE: Whenever I use the word ironic, I’m always afraid I’ll pull an Alanis. Am I alone in regard to this ‘worry?’
BONUS SIDENOTE: I’d say the biggest difference between the East and West Coasts (or at least New York and Seattle) is what follows the prefix hip-… Do you prefer –sters or –pies?
Anywashington, the trip was a great time. To conserve my energy, which is a euphemism for I’m feeling lazy today, here are some pics I took with explanatory captions.
Across the street from Tom’s apartment.
At Alki Beach in W. Seattle… <3 U NYC!
View from West Seattle… BTW, seagulls are huge there. Trust me. Huge.
Rodney really, really wanted to find Bungie’s HQ. Bungie made Halo for the XBOX. This was not Bungie, but Google said it was. Bungie allegedly ‘paid’ Google to say that.
This is another place we found saying it was Bungie HQ.
Judging by this security guard, it must be Bungie… Glad he doesn’t work Saturdays!
On ferry to Seattle, a la Michael Bay.
Getting close…
Don’t crash! AKA We’re there! (Why do I feel like I’m scrapbooking?)
— Where fish are tossed —
Has there ever been an action movie that took place in Seattle? “Get out of my way! He stole my flux, uh, matrix!” (Seriously, is this tantamount to scrapbooking?)
Outside first Starbucks… The mermaid has bubbies… hee hee…
Public Market shot, not circa 1986. Just lotsa jalopies.
Another Public Market shot, as if you couldn’t tell. FYI, there’s lotsa sports cars, too.
Just decided that I am scrapbooking. Next time, I won’t be so lazy.

AAPMSWA #2 (Some building and trees)
AAPMSWA #3: It’s a fuzzy shot of Seattle Underground… crap. Thankfully, I’m done scrapping. That’s what us ‘scrappers’ call it for short.
you shoulda gone to fremont. visit the troll. had some awesome noodles. visit the erotic cake shop.
the most ironic thing about the song ‘isn’t it ironic’ is that she is using the word ‘ironic’ incorrectly.
