I took off from work and walked up to the Seattle Center and made it into Bumbershoot at about 5:30pm. Spent most of my first day just wandering around and getting the feel of the place — the only band I caught any of was The Dusty 45’s, a decent blues/rock-n-roll band.
I did run into my friend Adri there, which blew my mind for a couple reasons. First off, just running into her was surprise enough. Secondly, she was there on her honeymoon! Apparently she and her boyfriend Jory (I have no clue if I’m spelling that correctly or not) had just gotten married the week before. Completely caught me off guard — was not something I was expecting to hear — but hey, congratulations to the both of them.
After a while I decided I wanted to head home, change out of my work clothes, and head back, but I never made it back. While I was at home, Chad and Kim stopped by to kidnap me, and we all ended up heading out to The Vogue, a goth/industrial bar just a couple blocks up the street from my house. Ended up being a very cool night — ran into two more friends that I hadn’t seen in a while, Nate (who I’d last seen not long before I left Anchorage, he just moved down here a couple weeks ago), and Alex (who I haven’t seen in years, and is planning on heading back to Anchorage soon). This world just gets smaller and smaller all the time….
After we all finally decided we were done, we hit IHOP for some grub, went to our respective homes, and crashed.
