We went to a trivia night at the recommendation of an OKCupid girl who also went to Rutgers and moved here. Never met her but we did take part in the trivia. We signed up as 'Jersey Boys' and entered one round before we realized we needed help and teamed up with Drew and Megan.
With their help we tied for 16th and we whooped and hollered when they called out 'Jersey Boys' came in last place.
We went to our first Seattle Concert at Neumos. Purity Ring!
They're a duo guy does all the beast girl does some fantastic singing. The guy had this rig set up. See those lights in front of him. Each one of those is a little cage with a white fabric cover hooked up to a pressure pad. Every time he hits one they light up and produce a pitch. think a the piano from BIG if it was a drumset made of birdcages. It was a great show and i cannot recommend it enough. They played every song that they had and the show STILL ended at 1130. It was odd going to an all ages show but I guess it's something I'll have to get used to. I did have some gay hipset guys rubbing up on me and one of em with a big moustache kissed the back of my neck while I was dancing but he disappeared after I told him I wasn't gay. Every other time I've told a gay guy I wasn't gay they explained to me "Oh you totally are, you just don't know it yet" so that was a pleasant change.
We got ourselves full sized mattresses to put in our rooms but have no sheets to put on them as of yet. so we've been wrapping ourselves in blankets and sleeping on the layer of plastic. Comfortable but loud. Sheets are definitely on the to do list.
We met up with our new friends Clara and Hope. I met Clara through my cousin Zoe in New York and she moved out here about the same time as us. Coincidentally she lives ten blocks away from us right around the corner from Oprah's favorite chicken place, Ezell's.
We tried to do the thursday night art walk with Clara. The art walk is an awesome event that takes the first of every month where all the galleries downtown open their doors. Lots of openings. Lots of cool art on the streets. When we were here in April we hit some galleries and i bought an awesome painting but this time around we sat drinking and lost track of time missing the event entirely. So naturally we went exploring the area for some food and found quite possibly our new favorite drinking spot, Ivar's. They have happy hour from 3-10 and during seahawks games it's happy hour all day. The only problem is the walk home is about a mile up hills stacked on top of hills on top of hills. After a couple beers and some scotch and sodas it didn't really affect us but my calfs definitely felt it the next day.
We did see some pretty cool local art on the walk home though!
Still roarin and exploring. Stay tuned for more Pilgrims!
Wish y'all were here!
