Seattle in October
Last week, I was on a business trip to Seattle. It was the first one in six months for work and during one of the busiest weeks; I have had personally for some time. It turned out to be a really good visit. Meetings went very well and were productive. We also, went to a few cool places as well. If you ever get a chance, check out two restaurants: The Pink Door and Purple. The food is fabulous in different ways. Very fresh and eclectic, great service, and just cool atmospheres. Both are in downtown Seattle. Then for art stuff, I would suggest Uwajimaya Japanese Grocery and Book store (on 5th Ave South across from the Amazon building), great Japanese papers, books, pens, and more. I would also highly recommend De Medici Ming Fine Paper on the corner of 1st and University. It is the most awesome paper, journal, and stationary store. A must visit, when you are in Seattle next. Finally there is a concert poster show going on from 10.11.08 to 7.16.09 at the EMP. It is exhibiting handcrafted concert posters, made before digital collage. It is called “The Art of Hatch Show Prints”. I hope to make that show, the next time I am in town.
The best part of the week, was just visiting with friends and catching up.
