I realllly wanna go now! Baseball. Underground. Sci-fi. Buffistas galore! I should know how the finances look in the next few weeks, once my DC trip is off the visa card.
Can I mop your brow? I am at the ready with the fearsome brow-mop.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I was totally going to ask about that. I remember when I was a kid, I saw the second Kolshack TV movie (The Night Strangler), and the climax took place in the underground city part of Seattle. I've always wanted to see that IRL.
It's awesomecakes! I love it. We once set a GURPS game there! I mean, I'm a frothing building history geek, so it totally places to my interests, but I think other people enjoy it, too.
Baseball, OTOH, is totally skippable in Seattle.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'll do the SciFi, the Underground and any other good shopping. I don't do baseball or heights (the Space Needle is right out for me.) As long as I'm working by June, I'm coming. You can thank the huge ass tax refund I got for that.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
The underground tour (which I've done twice) demonstrates that the history of Seattle is dictated by its sewage systems. It's awesome!

... some, IIRC? Plus rough ground and uneven footing. But it is lots of fun.

Ooh, IcompletelyON, I was going to warn Jilli against watching last night's Colbert Report if she hasn't already seen it! There are tarantulas crawling on Stephen's arm and head !!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Oh dear. I was laughing too hard at Stephen's discomfort to consider how that might affect Jilli.

I don't usually watch the Colbert Report, but thank you for the warning!
Back to the Underground Tour: if I tag along for it, I can point out the areas (if you climbed past a retaining wall and went about a block) where Oh So Gother-Than-Thou types would hold secret parties. Because nothing earns you GothPoints like clambering around decaying buildings while wearing a velvet dress, carrying a glass of red wine, and smoking a clove cigarette.
