I think I did mention Seattle to Alex a few pints back in this thread. Never been there, but I've heard the people are kind of groovy. Got a big metal spiky thing right in the middle of town, like the Eiffel Tower meets "Invasion of the Saucer People" (real movie!). Homeworld of the Evil Starbucks Empire. But you'd need coffee up the wazzoo too if it rained 400 days a year where you lived. Did have an absolutely incredible music scene out there about 11-14 years ago, spearheaded by the legendary SubPop label, which gave the world my favorite group and album, Nirvana and "Nevermind." (The Shins, SubPop's current group du jour, are really enjoyable, too, if you like pop-flavored alternative. They have two songs on the "Garden State" soundtrack.) I'd love to get out there someday to check it out. But I think I need a new umbrella first.
