Seattle is pretty much geek heaven. And weird heaven. Here's the first tourist attraction I saw in Seattle:
Yep. It's a wall covered in gum. Yuck. There was a bunch of UNSW people over for the conference, and Zi and I went splits on a hotel while there. This is him. He's drinking his first Starbuck's ever in the first Starbuck's ever.
Other randomness: you know how you can donate to support maintenance of highways and roads and things? This one was "owned" by the Church of Scientology.
Highlight of the conference was, once again, the banquet. It took place at the EMP (Experience Music Project?) and Science Fiction museum. It. Was. AWESOME. First thing we did (after eating) was go visit Pandora.
Next stop: Battlestar Galactica. Phil, how on earth can you say there's nothing to see in Seattle when you can see Vipers and Cylons?
Also, Kirsten, Wibke and I formed a rock band. 'Cause that's what you do in Seattle. You rock. We're the Sunshine Chicks. Photos soon.
And the book thing:
Day 5 - A book that you’ve read the most times
Anne of Green Gables
Cars and Trucks and Things That Go - Richard Scarry
ReplyDeleteOh yeah - it's not that there's nothing to see, it's just that I did a shitty job of seeing things there.
