A Night in Seattle




I up and went to Seattle last week to spend the weekend with Aubrey, her husband and their growing herd of rugrats. And what's a visit to Seattle without a stop at the world famous Dick's hamburgers and shakes? As excited as I was to be in Seattle out on the town, I remained calm enough to remember to call Tami and gloat about where I was. So, there she is in the pic, though it's kind of hard to tell it's her.




After the kids were in bed we left again to go to the Triple Door theater where a jazz ensemble happened to be playing that night. Going to this place was a tough decision as an Against Me! concert was starting at around the same time just a few streets away. Against Me! would've rocked harder than just about any concert I've been to, Foo Fighters aside, but I didn't regret our decision in the slightest. I love jazz. It's so transcedent and pure, and the ensemble that played that night just...got it. The best concerts are the ones where the musicians enjoy the music they're producing much more than the audience, which is exactly what we got to experience at the Triple Door.

I know you've heard this on countless occasions, but it continues to be true ...

I cannot wait to go to Seattle.

But of course, Denver first. (I won't even mention that anticipation, because we are both aware of that)

I love how you described the jazz club, very beat. I love it.
