Afternoon is Seattle

This afternoon the sun came out and told me it was time to go buy a chair for the office. I listened.

I walked down to Utrecht Art store, said hello to the gray buzz cut man that helped me with the first chair I purchased for my home. Simple, I will take another one. Then I went to Bauhaus coffee, crowded with laptops and mugs. While looking for a seat, I bumped into my Top Pot friend. He works for himself and basically roams the coffee shops.

Next stop, Blue Bottle Art Gallery. The pending December visits triggered decorating binge; it’s probably reasonable after two years to finally put something on my wall. Talked the the owner for a while and found some Melissa Moss prints. I’m a sucker for small alien creatures hiding in twisted vines.

Finally, while I was headed to an unknown place that never arrived at, I heard a band doing their sound check at Neumos. I knew them, I liked them. (I'm bad at connecting the songs I love to the bands, problem of the displayless shuffle.) Walked into the attached bar and the bartender told me it was The Cave Singers. Called my friend Chris and bought a ticket for their show tonight.

Here is a photo of a place that I was not today. But it’s Seattle and that is the sun.
