Another amazing, gorgeous, lush week in our sparkling city.
After the lunge of election-level celebratory events during the first half of the week (yes, we can!), I spent Thursday morning at McCaw Hall for the Grammy PNW event. Holy crap. I sat in on a panel with the heads of a half-dozen labels (read: I was five feet away from head execs from Warner, Sub Pop, Barsuk, Kill Rock Stars, and MySpace, trying not to have an accident) and got to work the front table checking in various industry execs. There's no photoessay, it was just so noteworthy that I didn't want the week to slide by without mentioning it. That, and the architecture of the main entrace is sweet - lots of windows, and this piece, which is basically the chandelier. Yow.
Also noteworthy was My Weekend With "Awesome", which does come with a photoessay. This show gets better and better every week! I sat in for Friday to continue the wave of Obama-bliss...
...and had to go back to get it all from the front row Saturday. I mean, seriously. How was everyone in Seattle not at this show? I swear, they get better every week.
The Gnews:
This is going to be totally bonkers. I can't wait. And a one, and a two...
With lots of love & imaginary Canadian boyfriends,
