Happy Birthday, Bro!

Kevin, me, Seattle, WAToday’s Kevin’s birthday — my ‘little’ brother’s turning 31 today. Happy birthday, Kev!

This isn’t an incredibly recent photo of the two of us, but it’s one of my favorites. Taken in the summer of 2001, I was just a few months into living in Seattle, and had a tiny little apartment just a few blocks away from the Pike/Broadway intersection. Kev was driving on one of his cross-country trips (either from Alaska to Emily’s family near Memphis, or vice versa), and stopped over in Seattle for a couple days to hang out with me and his friends Rob and Steve. Steve took this shot while we were wandering around the Pike Place Market on a gorgeous summer day. Later on, Kev tossed a few dollars my way (since I was pretty broke at that time) so that I could check out Bumbershoot for the first time.
