Van Gogh Exhibit

Just got back from dinner and the Van Gogh exhibit at the Seattle Art Museum. We decided to go tonight because on the 1st Thursdays of the month you can get in the special exhibit for only $5 (as students). So, we ventured out to SAM to see this exhibit. We had to wait about 30 minutes to get into the museum since this is a popular night to come, but it was worth the wait.

Eric Clapton Concert

Last night was, well, how should I put it? Ah, yes. Amazing.

I knew that Eric Clapton was a God on the guitar, but damn, last night he just blew me away. He just put himself somewhere in my mind that not many musicians go and he is there with good company. For 2 hours he rocked Key Arena and I was just amazed. I can’t say that enough. He played a very balanced mix of the old stuff as well has some of his new material.

The Weekend

The past weekend was pretty good. It was my birthday so it had to be, right? Of course.

Friday night was spent with a faction of the Info Crew watching the Bourne Identity and just hanging out at my place soaking up every ounce of air conditioning that we could since it was so blasted hot outside that day. It was good times, as usual.

Saturday was my birthday and what a better way to spend it than by going to work! Right… ok, I had my normal Saturday shift at the lab and then it was off to Rock Bottom Brewery for some dinner fun with the Info Crew. Dinner was to celebrate the birthdays of Kevin, Kat, and myself since all of our birthdays are within a week of each other. Dinner was cool and it has been a while since I had seen all of the faces in one sitting. Good times despite Anthony looking up every girl that came up the stairs in front of him. I am sure that I have some great pics on my camera. Using Jamie and I as decoys was all apart of his plan. Now, it didn’t help either that there was a table of girls next to us that he swears was there for a sorority meeting. Oh, Anthony.

Then we thought it would be a good idea to go see the Bourne Supremacy. Well, it was a good idea until we got to the theatre to see that the next two showings were sold out. I was kinda bummed because I wanted to see it, but the night pressed on without the movie.

After the movie fell through it was back to my place for some mafia, cranium, and texas hold ’em. Again, nice to just chill, but come midnight I was just beat and wanted to go to bed. So, it was off to sleep…

Sunday was time spent with my lady. From lunch of Velveeta Shells and Cheese, ‘Lil Smokies, and Rice (if your name is Jamie) to walking around downtown it was a good day. Very relaxing and just what I needed.

It was definitely a good weekend, now I just need to catch up on some sleep, I am dying here at the lab right now.

Bite of Seattle

Fooding has never been better. Tonight Jamie, Anthony, my Brother Paul and I went to Seattle Center for the Bite of Seattle. I have not been to the Bite before, but I have been to similar events before. There were lots of people around and the weather could not have been better. We must have walked around enough to see all the stands. Luckily we were not too terribly hungry to begin with or else I would have spent a lot more money. I mean, I was all proud of myself for mooching off of the free samples and only spending $11 the entire night. I had an elephant ear, pad thai and fried rice, strawberry shortcake, and fried bananas. Good food and good times. Now I am feeling the wrath of a food coma…

Next Fooding Event: MN State Fair

Oh, Saturday!

Yeah, today was pretty amazing. Let’s see… I had Dim Sum in the International District, walked around the market, visited Jamie’s new place for the next couple of months, and went shopping. Now, that might not bleed excitement, but it was good times. Also, the really nice weather made it much more enjoyable to be outside in.

Happy Panqueque Night

Last night it was happy pancake night at Kat’s. It was a good time, as usual, with the INFO crew. Dinner was very good and it just goes to reaffirm that Kathryn can cook very well. This was our first gathering since summer officially began it was nice to have everyone there and to see everyone. I mean, it wasn’t that long ago since we last saw each other. But, anyways… I don’t really have much to say. Hrm, strange. Here are some pics from last night to get you all through the day.
