Wow, apparently the dude who was always outside the Safeway on Brooklyn and 50th selling Real Change passed away on Friday. I was wondering why he wasn't there last week.

Wow, really? Damn he was there when I was at UW as early as '99.

"Real Change? Have a great day sir." RIP

Holy shit. Just bought tickets for tomorrow night!

How do you guys find out about upcoming local shows? I missed Marc Maron a couple months ago and am super pissed :-(

Airport 13 coins is best 13 coins. Hang on, I will ask a local idiot I know. If he drives me I might. He fucking loves it. Seriously, that place is amazing and destroys downtown version.

I might. Just have to see if I have the energy. That last night of ours kicked my ass in the morning. I'm such a lightweight now. ;)

Tried to take my parents to Walrus and the Carpenter tonight but there was a 90 minute wait at 8pm. Absurd. Ended up at Bitterroot, which was pretty great.



This place closed up shop.

You're right, it did close, I just checked. Can't say I'm surprised. Seemed like a weird spot for a club considering the rest of Pacific Place was closed during their hours of operation.

Also, Bitterroot is fantastic. I ate there with Coldvein not too long ago and I was definitely impressed. I think it's been overshadowed by the nearby Kickin' Boot lately though.

Did you have the pulled pork? I haven't had pulled pork in ages.

We had the pork belly, brisket, and chicken at Bitterroot. I thoroughly enjoyed eating the equivalent of a piece of fancy bacon the size of a steak.

I have an interview and stage with Tom Douglas on Thursday morning. Nerves. Nerves.

I did. Well, technically I got a bacon burger but they had an option of including pulled pork ON THE BURGER, so of course I went with it.

Unbelievably delicious. I'm currently on a diet and I'm legit salivating over those thoughts right now. Thanks, guys.

Dude! Awesome! Best of luck, let us know how it goes. I'll be thinking about you that morning then.

Is the interview with Tom Douglas DA MASTERCHEF himself? Or someone from his restaurants?

First portion is with one of his underlings, and assuming all goes well, I go on to meet with the dude.

I quite liked Branzino in Belltown (http://www.branzinoseattle.com/). Went with my pops last week while he was visiting. Isn't really an oyster restaurant--had oysters more for appetizers you know--but they were solid.

EDIT. oops double post I'm a monster.

Bitterroot is great. I've popped in there before shows at Tractor and always had good food. Good luck with the interview.

I went to Sasquatch the first three years (2003, 2004, 2005) when it was just a one-day festival, but haven't been since. Saw a lot of great bands there: Postal Service, Flaming Lips, Modest Mouse, Shins, Bloc Party, Arcade Fire, Neko Case, New Pornographers, AC Newman, The Dears, Decemberists, etc.
