A SEAF Reacap

My first time attending SEAF was amazing.  I had read things about past years. I have heard from others about it too.  I was excited to be able to attend this year – thanks to Lili for tickets. Seattle Erotic Arts Festival was started in 2002 as a way to celebrate the erotic.  I had…

Picasso and Seattle

“I understand why some people enjoy having separate vacations” was G’s words to me as I called to let him know I was on my way home from my weekend trip to Seattle. I guess I should back up.  A few months ago, he made a trip up to Seattle to see a friend.  On…

POD – Weekend in Seattle

I’ll write something more up about my weekend later. For now, a few of the photos I took. Pike Street Market – an accidental shot that I liked. I was setting testing to see if my white balance was set correctly, so took a random shot without looking through the view finder. I like the…

Day 147 – Beautiful. Gorgeous. Wish You Were Here

(name that movie quotes if you can.) We spent another gorgeous day doing touristy things in Seattle.  And, while the others went up the Space Needle, I stayed on the ground.  I’m a lame-ass when it comes to heights.  Not all heights, mind you, but some.  And, I know getting to the top of the…

Day 145 – Sanitary Public Market

I love Seattle.  And, we spent time wandering through the Pike Street Market – something you have to do when visiting Seattle.  My favorite sign in the Sanitary Public Market.  What exactly does that mean?  No rats?
