Seattle

We woke up one day on the coast of Oregon and went.. "want to go to seattle? yep definately"

so we took off, drove straight to west seattle where justin's cousin Huston lives. We got there and met a few of huston's friends and his girlfriend chelsa. We ended up going to a underground dive bar to play pool but ran into another friend of Huston's and ended up going to his apartment complex which I think is ancient. the rec room there was a relic of the 1950s complete with the old instruction manual for the billards table, in mint condition in its 1950s splendor. random instruments of workout destruction were strewn about, with a old vibrating belt workout machine and weird ab roller things laying around and strange pre bow flex devices attached to the wall. we ended up playing team cutthroat pool and darts. halarity ensued and we had a great time before heading back to hustons to pass my drunken ass out on his couch.

the next day justin and I headed downtown to meet his friend dave and hang out on queen anne for awhile. we ended up getting electric iced teas and then headed to the biggest asian market i've ever seen. this place was a zoo, I wished neal was there to help translate the many japanese packages and products. we explored the store until we came upon the fish area and proceeded to get a bunch of seafood for the seafood cookout at hustons. we got muscles, clams, prawns and salmon. the feast was excellent, huston grilled the salmon and I grilled some aspargus (which I need to do for my parents as it tastes way better than steaming it!) and he steamed the muscles, clams and shrimp as well as potatoes and onions and other goodies and then we put wax paper down on the table and dumped it out. it was a crazy feast in the middle of the table.

the next day we headed to Vashon Island where justin's uncle and cousins live. Vashon is an entry all in itself and I'm still here at the moment. I'll have to update this later about Vashon and the rest of the seattle journey as I dont have time to write it all out right now.

keep the movement of conciousness growing and glowing
