June 20, 2010 - Seattle Qwest Field

[corianderstem]

That's right, Interference ruled the night!

Nice to meet you as well! I'm going to put some pictures in the Zoo Station "gathering" thread but will put them in here as well.

Soooo tired today. If today really were the concert, there's no way I would have made it into the GA line early. I may have to rethink my plan for next year - if Zoo Station plays again the night before the concert, I may be hanging in the back in GA.

Soundcheck - A Sort of Homecoming was only a tease, alas.

Great night last night. So, much fun meeting everyone. Great music. Can't wait to do it all again next year

 

[Thora]

Looks awesome! Glad you guys had a great time!

the game i was supposed to go to sounds like it was a pretty good one:

MLB - Cincinnati Reds/Seattle Mariners Box Score Sunday June 20, 2010 - Yahoo! Sports

and according to weather.com, it's raining at qwest...

98104 Weather Forecast and Conditions

It was a good game, a 1-0 shutout, mariners swept the Reds.

But it is effing MISERABLE weather - just too cold for June and nonstop wet and/or damp. Honestly, a blessing in disguise that we get to try again next year, because this has been the most disgusting excuse for June in Seattle ever.

Looks like everyone had fun at Owl and Thistle last night! I know I'm not much of a regular on here, but would have been cool to meet some of y'all... just couldn't make it though.

Well it's almost 9:30pm... U2 would certainly have been on stage by now. 55 degrees with off-and-on drizzle. The weather will almost certainly be better next year, no matter what month they schedule.

(I hope I didn't jinx it!)

 

[corianderstem]

I know I'm griping about the weather, but I would have still had an amazing time. I just have to keep talking about how it's a good thing to keep myself from getting too disappointed all over again.

You really have to come next time ZS is in town (it sounds like they're really going to try) - it was so much fun! I made a whole bunch of new pals - nice to meet some other local U2 fas.

I was at Friday and Sundays games, nice sweep! woohoo

 

[HBK-79]

I have one word to sum up my jaunt to Seattle...

Piroshky =

 

[corianderstem]

Awesome, you found the piroshkys! Hope you didn't get too wet sight-seeing on Sunday. What a miserable day!

I saw on the Seattle Times yesterday that Sunday was the darkest June day in Seattle in 15 years.

 

[romi]

you went to seattle to fall in love with russian food?

 

[HBK-79]

I also tried a lot of Asian cuisine.

And the Silver Cloud had what they call a "lemon drop" martini.

[vjacqb]

I also tried a lot of Asian cuisine.

So did I. For some reason, I gravitated towards pho (Vietnamese beef noodle soup) restaurants a lot while I was in Seattle. I think it may have something to do with the chilly weather! Hot noodle soup in cold weather...

I missed the whole piroshky thing though...

 

[corianderstem]

Next time you come, we'll make plans to eat our way through the Market.

 

[konakitty]

I the piroshky place. There was a chocolate one I almost went back for. A couple of days before I left they played a rerun of Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations Pacific Northwest and he went to the place. I knew I had to go.

 

[Thora]

I'm doing a foodie nerd walking tour on Friday afternoon if anyone is interested!

Savor Seattle Food Tours

How was the food tour? I'm planning to go on the basic one when I'm in the city in August.
