Seattle… A fish catchin’ good time!

Who got to catch a fish at the market in Seattle? I did!  We were strolling through the market and the guys working behind the fish counter were totally cool and tossed me a fish!  Check out the video!

Besides catching fish at the market we checked out the shops and got some of the famous Seattle coffee.  We had to check out the Seattle public library because it’s really an amazing building.  It’s a strange looking diamondish shaped glass building downtown Seattle.  Let’s just say it’s hard to explain, but the design is awesome and you have to check it out if you’re ever in Seattle.  Later that night we played a show at the Central Saloon.  We had an awesome show thanks to all of our friends and family that came out to see us!  It’s great when we can bring a crowd even when we are 2200 miles from home.  Gotta’ give a shout out to my cousin Sam who I hadn’t seen in years.  Thanks for coming out and bringing friends!  It was great catching up with all our friends and well it was just a great day overall.

Hello Portland!

Today we got to visit a city I’ve wanted to visit for quite some time… Portland, Oregon!  We had a day to hang out in Portland and check out the city.  We spent some time in the most amazing book store.  Powell’s Books is a huge bookstore downtown Portland.  There are multiple floors of what seems like miles of bookshelves.  It was really incredible checking out the book selection and of course enjoying some coffee (the NW is proud of their coffee).  We stayed with the Kanagy’s and they were awesome.  They fed us and made us feel like we were at home away from home.  We played a show at ‘The Twilight Room’ near The University of Portland campus.  There was a decent crowd and as always we played a great show.  After the show we watched the worst movie I’ve ever seen.  It’s called Robot Holocaust. We expected it to be bad… but it turned out to be the worst movie I’ve ever seen… But other than the terrible movie everything was amazing in Portland.  Oregon is beautiful and Portland is no different.  The trees, hills, and friendly people make it a great town.  All that’s left to say is good-bye Oregon! I can’t wait to see you again. Hello Washington!
