topsy turvy

I dragged Anders to the steepest street in Seattle last weekend because I'm in to that sort of thing (in case you are wondering it's on Roy Street between 25th and 26th in Cap Hill) but mostly because I wanted to take funny pictures.

A cold and cloudy day didn't stop the pups from having the best time ever at Edmonds Beach!

I got to experience virtual reality today! So while it MIGHT look like I'm in a plain, boring conference room, I'm actually at a villa in Italy.

Mostly, though, it just made me feel sick. Also, they weren't serving wine at the villa, so I think I'll stick to the real places from now on.

raw power

Last Sunday, KEXP,  our local, independent radio station, held a concert at Pike Place Market to raise money for their new studio home and for the market expansion project. The concert featured four iconic Seattle musicians, Mike McCready (Pearl Jam, Mad Season), Duff McKagan (Guns n' Roses, Velvet Revolver), Barrett Martin (Screaming Trees, Tuatara) and Mark Arm (Mudhoney). The band played songs by Iggy Pop and the Stooges and played underneath the famous Pike Place Market sign,which has never been done before! We managed to score some killer seats in one of the offices overlooking the clock and felt so fortunate to get to experience such a cool event.

 Duff McKagan!

Anders and Barrett Martin

Such a fun night!

neighbors

My bestie, Kristina, just moved in next door, which means we now have connecting yards, which means her daily view is now this...

It's a good thing she is a dog person!

comet falls

Anders and I hiked to Comet Falls a few weeks ago. It's a fairly moderate hike (only four miles round trip), but we heard you can go an extra mile to a little park beyond the waterfall. It's supposed to be amazing, but we were strapped for time and didn't make it that far. Next time! (FYI...no dogs allowed in the national park, so no Maggie this trip!)

mudbug

One of the fish guys (not sure WHO yet) decided it would be hilarious to hide a live crayfish in Anders' lunch sack. The only problem with this is that I was the one packing his lunch last night! I screamed so loudly our neighbor heard me...

In the end the joke was on them, though. Cause he was delicious!
