Seattle, day 1

[dickmalone]

We flew on American, but everything went fine, shockingly, or at least no worse than usual. Wasn't time to do anything in Chicago but change planes, but then we got into Seattle a little early. Took a taxi to the hotel and decided that eating was preferable to the keynote address, since we hadn't really eaten much that day (see above re: Chicago

I thought I sensed a disturbance in the Force.

Also, I love how you love food.

Yeah, the stance we took on the possibility of having a flight canceled was, "Well, at least we'll be in Chicago." If I get into my conference, I will be there for an actual visit in August!

We pretty much plan our vacations around food now.

yes, food! i am going to Chicago next weekend to eat my heart out! all my plans are centered around my meals and where i want them to be! Lula Cafe, Streetside, Orange, Sultan's, Handlebar, Ethiopian Diamond, here i come! I like Seattle too, but i know less about its food. Julia's has delicious, fresh, vegetableness. The Honeyhole was funky, and appropriately neighbors with Toys in Babeland. Bizarro Italian Cafe was great. and then I went to a bar called Chapel that was kind of too mod and sparse for my aesthetic tastes but i recall the menu looked interesting. and the Seattle Public Library is totally worth a visit! enjoy!

Yeah, the library was great! Our Seattle theory mainly came down to "good seafood."

That sounds delicious for Chicago.
