Back in Seattle

So on Thursday, August 28th, I decided to leave LA for Seattle the next morning, a decision that I'm really happy I chose.  I was really nervous about the drive but once I got on the road, everything seemed to work out smoothly.  My first stop was Sonoma County where family friends let me stay at their house.  Their neighbor, Jim, owns Toad Hollow, a local winery.  Jim has become good friends with my mom and I and he was so nice to give me two cases of his wine to bring up to Seattle.  I have yet to open any of the bottles as I want to save them for when I move into my house.  

Yes, that's right, I am technically homeless.  Phil's parents have graciously let me stay in their basement until my housing situation is cleared up so for the past few days I've been staying in a very nice house up on Capitol Hill.  

Last night, I went to Bumbershoot and experienced one of the most insane shows ever.  Monotix hails from Israel and their on stage antics......don't even take place on stage.  The band actually plays in the crowd: drum kit and all.  The lead singer in a trash can, the guitarist playing on top of the crowd!  Insane stuff!  The crappy part is, they only got to play for ten minutes as the bumbershoot security shut down their show due to the amount of insanity taking place.
