emerald city - day five - final day

the zero hour approaches.
it is currently a little after 7pm here in seattle and my plane leaves in a little under 13 hours. i need to psyche myself up.
like the ride down here, i plan on staying up all night because my shuttle will be getting here at five in the morning. i don’t […]

emerald city - day three - wrapup

i.
am.
sore.
all i did today was walk and get lost.
i started my day by taking a bus to ballard to visit the archie mcphee store. since i wasnt’ sure if we already passed, i had the driver drop me off for what turned out to be about a half mile away from the store.
the walking began.
this […]

i am no longer lost.
i’m sitting at the tully’s coffee on 45th and brooklyn ave in the u-district. it is just after 5pm and the sun is completely down. to look outside, you’d think it was well after 7 or 8pm.
a litlte backgrond on tully’s: it is one of the major competitors for starbucks up […]

i am so freaking lost. i recognize university way, but i don’t know where to go from there. luckily, i have google maps.
well, i’m kicking back cafe allegro at the college inn on 40th st and university way in the u-district. this place is ultra-hip. this what i’ve always thought a seattle cafe is. people […]

emerald city - day two - wrapup

well, i saw a lot of seattle today.
i think i walked more than i have in the last six months. i’ve climbed more hills than i have in the last two years.
how do i feel?
worn out. its time for bed.
tomorrow, i’ll be hitting the u-district. i’ve read that the city has rolled out free wifi […]

having successfully found my way back to wallingford (i missed my bus stop), i have now ventured across the i-5 and into the u-district. the u-district is what mill avenue could be if it wasn’t so corporate (border’s, [i won’t mention starbuck’s considering my location], urban outfitter’s, pf chang’s, and the such). there’s a record […]

kickin’ back with a latte at local color: art, coffee, more… which is right across the street from the pike market place.
initially, i couldn’t get access to their wireless network, but i moved closer to the windows and found access to the city wide wifi. the access is weak, but at least i can hit […]

greetings from the online coffee company.
this quaint little coffee shop is at the corner of spring street and first avenue in downtown seattle.
before i get talking about this wonderful little coffee shop, i thought i should mention that as i was packing up my stuff at the library, an old guy whipped out his portable […]

have you ever been in a building that could double as a work of art?
well, that what the seattle public library is.
looking at it from the outside, i wondered, “how does the building stay together?” lotsa of steel and glass.
inside, i found something very shocking: people. there are a ton of people here just hanging […]

emerald city - day one

i hate flying.
airplanes weren’t made for somebody who is six-six. i have a bit of a gut too. so i’m crunched into this seat, my belt pushing into my gut, and i just can’t get comfortable.
luckily, i fell asleep right before the plane took off and woke up just as they were bringing the drink […]
