Enjoy the clouds while you can! Summer gets too dry for me(and my plants). I like the rain.

i like the first part of that equation
yes yes "seattle doesnt get that much rain", i know. its just grey 80% of the year.
I'm about to take a walk. I'm really looking forward to those 60 degree days coming up...

Wife tells me it is hailing in Redmond right now. Maybe I won't be planting those berries.
At least it can be said that our weather is never predictable.
what's wrong with Q? good soundsystem and good music selection. only bar i've been to with better music is Pony
Sorry to barge in here and bring the conversation back to food, but the hubs and I (and a friend) are going to try Ballard's El Camion (the actual restaurant, not the truck version down the street) for dinner tonight. Any recommendations from those of you who've been there before? I'm strongly considering the gorditas at the moment, but I'm open to suggestions

That's what I've heard, but I like Pitfall billboard along 99 in SoDo.
haha the billboards were way cooler than the actual exhibit, I also think they probably took more effort to set up. EMP has been pretty disappointing ever since they scaled back the sci fi section.

A couple years ago my wife and I chaperoned prom at EMP for one of the high schools I work at. We had the entire museum available to us for the night, which was actually really cool.
it's weird how a museum thats supposed to show how exciting music is manages to be the most boring museum in seattle

Has anyone been to the pinball museum? Is it as awesome as it sounds? Cause it sounds pretty sweet.
I'm in Seattle from the 6th - 14th April.
What are the good eateries - I'm thinking Seafood/Burgers
What are the few must see/do things to do in your wonderful city. I'm a huge grunge fan so was wanting to do the typical touristy tour thing (unless there's a better alternative).
Thanks in advance!

Red Mill for burgers. There are a bunch of restaurant recommendations up the page. Not really a seafood guy so I can't really recommend anything there.

Is there a comic shop in Capitol Hill? There's Comic Stop next to The Neptune on 45th, and The Dreaming further north on The Ave with the sweet "Godzilla fighting Cthulu in Seattle" mural in the window.
Burgers: Uneeda Burger in Fremont, Steelhead Diner downtown (get the burger with poutine), Quinn's in Capitol Hill, Skillet Diner in Capitol Hill or their various trailers around town.
Do you like beer?

Bacon...jam.....
lol, reminded me of a comic shop in the U district. I'm not sure if it is still there, was on 43rd between the Ave and Brooklyn, I think. I used to walk by it all the time. It was open from like 11a-2pm, Mon-Wed or something ridiculous like that, lol.

Since you're into grunge, go get a few drinks at The Central Saloon. It's the city's oldest tavern and also where Nirvana used to do shows before they got super big. I believe it was the first place they played under the name "Nirvana" actually.

You talking about The Comic Book Club? Wasn't there very long, but it leaned heavily towards Japanese/Chinese manga rentals.
edit: I know which one you're talking about. They closed a while back. Had crazy store hours.

take a drive out to aberdeen
Aberdeen is extremely depressing and a perfect example of how Wal-mart kills small towns. I don't know how that mall stays open.

perfect setting for a grunge fan!
I don't recall the name. It was there ~2001. I was mistaken, it was on 42nd. I think here. I never went in there, not into comics, but my roommate and I would always joke about how it could stay in business with those hours.

But, Kurt was born there.
There is also another one on 45th, around 1st Ave, opposite the Hawaiiana store and next to the Accordion store. As you can imagine, this is a very highly trafficked set of stores.
Tavern Law on 12th has my favorite burger on the hill. Smith's burger is pretty good usually too, plus their poutine is good.
Decent to good.
I hope more on the good side! Going to be dropping applications all over the place out there starting in the September.

Comics Dungeon. I love their window displays.

We have a family cabin in North Cove near Westport so driving through Aberdeen is part of the trek. When I was a kid, remember when that mall was full of stores and people, but then the Wal-mart opened up and obliterated it.
What kind of job will you be looking for? I can attest that software companies are here are hiring like mad.
I'm open but my background is in banking and consulting. I'd love to get on with a tech company in a strategy or marketing role. Currently in a full-time MBA program.
yeah I meant software engineering and topless barista-ing specifically.
If I took a job as a topless barista I think it'd be closed by the end of the day.
Damn, you're that naughty eh?
