Oyster Run 2007

So Sunday my wife and I headed up to the Oyster Run in Anacortes to see our friends "The Unfaithful Servants" play some music. It was an all areound good time with some of the best grilled oysters I have ever had and good music. We saw plenty of motorcycles and some interesting t-shirts.

Profile of me in The Stranger Line Out

So the other day I was reading the online music blog for The Stranger. It is called Line Out. I saw a piece about sound engineers and I added some comments. The person who wrote the piece contacted me through a mutual friend and asked if he could write about me and my past as a sound engineer. It is called Ozzfest – Jäger & Leather at 9 AM

Giannoni's

So my wife and I finally made it to the new pizza place in Westwood Village called Giannoni's. Now anyone who knows my wife, knows she is old school east coast and hasn't really ever found a pizza place that filled the hole left when she moved out here. It might be a little soon to say , but the search may be over. Giannoni's was by far the best East Coast style pizza we have had ever in Seattle. Now don't get me wrong, there are some good pizza places, Tutta Bella, Pegasus, Northlake to name a few, as well as some straight up Italian restaurants that have pizza that is good also. But for a just straight ahead pizza, salad, soda joint, Giannoni's beats out everything else in Seattle. Pagliacci's has been on my bad side for years and I am happy to say I don't think we will be eating it any time in the near future.

Do yourself a favor and give it a try, you will regret it if you don't.

telephone pole art

We saw this outside Smarty Pants in Georgetown yesterday.

I thought it was a good use of old computer parts.

Upcoming Show October 9th Seattle

In my ever self promoting attempt, one of my experimental projects has an upcoming live event. phase3 is hard to explain sort of a improvosational electronic experiment. We use live sampling, live synth performance and live video manipulation to create audio visual moods. Suffice to say it is an experience. We will be releasing a cd and playing live October 9th at 7pm at the Rendezvous Jewelbox Theater in Seattle.

the evening on Alki

I went skateboarding on Alki this evening with my wife after we went to our friend Linda's art opening at a bookstore on Capitol Hill called Spine and Crown . I forgot that the Statue of the Statue of Liberty was going back up today.

Then we ate at Pegasus Pizza and got to watch this sunset. Its nice living over here.

Georgetown for breakfast

After waking up late today, we went down to Georgetown to Smarty Pants for breakfast. I highly recommend the Troublemaker Pile Up or anything with the Troublemaker sauce, it was amazing. The pile up features some very well cooked chicken in hearty chunks with monterey jack cheese, and bacon, mixed with eggs on top of hash browns, only the crispy top of the browns, amazing. They also have a great deck with lots of cool sculptures like this one.


Then after we walked around and I saw lots of cool graffiti.


The ram I later found out is the logo for a falafel restaurant, but I still liked it and the angel cow is great as well. The bird stencil is one of the coolest smaller pieces I have seen ever.
