Snow Days

I was fortunate enough to be joined by the lovely Brittain Ashford for
these last few crazy snow days in Portland and Seattle. As always she
was a wonderful road companion as we ran back and forth between the
two cities for our shows.

I encourage Seattle friends to join us at the Josephine in Ballard
this Saturday as we play with Levi Fuller, Yonderlow and Luminous Craft.

Sunset on Alpine

On our way back from dinner in Harrisburg we pulled off the road to
appreciate a gorgeous sunset. Individual rays of pink stretched out
from the horizon like the spokes of a wheel. Too bad my iPhone camera
wasn't able to capture the image with much fidelity.

Green River

I was perusing the concert calendar looking for an entertaining show
for my out of town guest. I was more than surprised to see grunge
legends Green River listed in the evening's shows. I went to the show
and it was pretty fantastic. They were/are a force of nature.

Kim & Malcolm

The cat's meow

I was pretty tired and sad to leave my good friend, but the good folks
at Delta Airlines knew just how to cheer me up.

Grey Dog Cafe

We had a late last day lunch at this place called Grey Dog. The
grilled sandwiches we're amazing and the pie was to die for. We
happened to grab a table that featured a handpainted map of Washington
& Oregon. We took a couple of photos of each other at the table but we
are both making funny faces in the photos, so I chose to show this
upside down image of Seattle. Brittain noted that interstate signs
shouldn't be printed in comic sans

New York Public Library

For my last day in New York, Brittain took me out to the library (as
featured in Ghostbusters) and Grand Central Station. It was about all
that we could squeeze into the final fleeting hours of my two-week
visit.

The library is beautiful. My roommate had suggested I visit the
reading room and I wish I had taken her advice. It seemed like a great
place to read or simply update one's facebook profile.
