just got back from seattle, where my friend holly got married this weekend. it was a really great time and a beautiful ceremony, and i’m just pleased as punch that she’s going to be happy as all that. we didn’t really do that much else besides go to the wedding and do a little bit of socializing around that, but it was good to see a few friends from l.a. who had flown up for the wedding, like erin & chris and long lost deb! and then there were the blasts from the past when i used to live with hol, such as aron, keith, and vampire boy.
i do have to say that the highlight of the weekend may have been the fat hotel room itself, for the mediterranean suites at the hotel monaco seattle have two-person fuji jet tubs which are fantastic. we spent the better part of saturday in the tub and have no complaints.
sunday we did a little walking around, but spent most of the afternoon at the quite lovely zeitgeist cafe over in pioneer square by the stadium, which is just gorgeous inside, has great coffee and sandwiches, and free wireless! they were playing great music and then later some guys set up a little rig and played twiddly idm type electronica off of his laptop. hightly recommended if you’ve got some time to chill.
the only thing that didn’t quite work out for the weekend is that i had my entire wardrobe planned around wearing my beautiful brown leather jacket, but at the literal last minute i chickened out and wore my rei one jacket, because i thought, “this is crazy! i’m going to seattle! it’s going to rain!” and alas, it didn’t rain at all. it was gorgeous and sunny the whole time. and then i flew back home where it was raining and got dumped on going back from the bart station. the indignity of it all.
