Road Trip – Day 3

I’m still quite behind on blogging about my trip.  On Saturday we went to the Pike Place Market.  It’s pretty touristy, but I discovered that it’s a great opportunity for my new photography hobby.  The first shot is of the sound from the parking lodge.

Here’s the tourist shot.

I loved seeing this sign I saw inside the market.

Almost.   Just almost.

So, here are the pictures I took of the produce and fresh seafood for sail at the market.

HOLY HUGE LOBSTER!

 

 

HOLY HUGE SALMON!

OK, here’s just some more random shots of fish and stuff. Click to enlarge.

 

The funniest thing that happened all day was when we went into the jade store.   The little Chinese man who owns and runs the store asked me if I was married, and when I said no, he asked why not.  I didn’t want to go into it with a stranger, but my mom was yelling at him, “she doesn’t want to be married.”   Anyway, the guy told me he’d give me $500 to get married.  I told him he better remember that he said that, and I’d be back to collect.

Any takers?  I’ll split the 500 bucks with you.  60/40 split, though.  I mean, finders fee, and all.

Just sayin’.

Pirate Party – So Much Yar!

The Pyrockers were in town over the weekend, staying with Baby Bro. In their honor, Baby Bro and his roommates threw a Pirate Party on Friday. I love a good costume party. My friends love a good costume party. We also all love pirates. And The Pyrockers played in the living room.

Yar! So many booty jokes, so little time!

Soul Captives ft. Liz & Kolle of Strange Manor

I saw The Soul Captives on Monday night. During one song, our friends joined the band on stage to sing back ups. I shot a little video. This is my first YouTube video, too.

The sound is a little rough and distorted, ’cause I took it with my little Kodak EasyShare piece ‘o crap camera, but it’s not too too bad.

I took a bunch pictures, too.

Phenomenauts’ CD Release Party – March 29th

What do you need most when life gives you the finger? Friends. And if those friends happen to be the best intergalactic rock and rollers and their cadets, well even better!

Maldroid opened the show. I tried to get some good shots of them. Tried is the operative word here.

 

They get better every time I see them. I just got their new self titled album last night. I have been enjoying it and The Phenomenauts’ “For All Man Kind” all morning.

Next up were The Lovemakers. I don’t know any of them. They were less than inspiring. I didn’t take any pictures.

P-H-E-N

O-M-E-N

A-U-T-S

PHENOMENAUTS!

I did my best to help get the chant started and then they took the stage.

 

I love the new opening.

I love this trippy red shot.

I didn’t get any good shots of Joebot, but I bet Agent 99 did.

Agent 99 Shooting

 

It was a great show. The bands were good, the club was packed. But most of all, it was good to be with friends, making new friends, and celebrating the success of some hardworking guys and everyone who’s behind them.

 

Science and Honor!

And People.
