The Moore - a local theater a few blocks down from the apartment - celebrated it's 100th anniversary last night - and threw a great free party to celebrate - free food/drink from local businesses along with a completely random assemblage of entertainment, from jazz saxophone to opera to juggling to burlesque to a guy playing spoons with the end of the show being an audience sing along to 'Age of Aquarius' - and the ability to wander around an old theater at will. Great way to spend an evening.
The GTI sold. It ran exceptionally well and to the normal observer, looked fine, however I am a bit of a perfectionist, so I couldn't live with it. I'll find a car eventually, though it is somewhat nice to know that I don't really need one and can really evaluate what it will be used for and find the perfect replacement.
Other notes from the weekend - Allison and I walked around Capitol Hill - it's a bit the Myers Park of Seattle - some parts have aged more gracefully than others, but still there are many streets of grandiose old homes (though the activist groups in the city spray paint "Capitalist" on the sidewalk in front of the larger ones). In any case it would be a neat place to live - esp. due to Dilettante Chocolates. It's very much a small (eastern) European cafe - truffles and cakes, soups and sandwiches, excellent coffee.
Other things coming up: some graphic designy thing that Allison signed us up for, and a bit over a week from now, a Winter Solstice festival, followed by a week in Wisconsin.
