Things I Love About DC

People say many things about DC. But I love DC. And here I present a few, random things I love about DC...in no particular order.

Cherry Blossoms


Awesome drag queens. I don't care where you're from, our drag queens can totally take your drag queens!


Shows at the 9:30 Club


My love/hate affair with Georgetown


Roller Derby


Random, cool graffiti


Going to a concert in a synagogue (this is at 6th and I)


The view from the terrace at the Kennedy Center

Obama lives here now.

Seattle in Snapshots: Day 3

And finally...to conclude the Seattle adventuring...Day 3!


Here we start at the Sunday market in the neighborhood of Fremont.

Some free music at the market.

Poor, poor moose.

I swear the cartoon drawing chick looks EXACTLY like my friend Nicotine.

I'm guessing they show outdoor movies here? Only explaination for the Casablanca graffiti.

More graffiti in Fremont.

The infamous Lenin statue, all decked out for V-Day.


A stoned cup of french fries in front of Deluxe Junk.

The legendary Fremont troll, which lives under the bridge.


Send in the clowns.


At the headquarters for Adobe.


The Waiting For The Interurban statue was also decked out for V-day.


After I finished exploring Fremonth, I hopped on a bus to Capitol Hill. After some searching, I managed to find this apartment complex, which was used as the apartment building from one of my favorite movies, Singles. Yes, I set out specifically to find this building. I am a dork. I'm somewhat jealous of the people who get to live here now.

Yes, I took a dorky picture of myself in front of it as well.

Obama pride is alive and well in Seattle.

Seattle Museum of Mysteries. I didn't go in, but I liked this gnome dude.

Aww, more churches should have big banners like this one.

At Twice Told Tales, a used bookstore in Capitol Hill. I thought Megan would appreciate this.

A Jimi Hendrix statue. Hendrix pride, woot!

Shawn Smith at the Showbox. Incredible.

Happy Chichester.


And, of course, the Gutter Twins themselves - Mr. Greg Dulli and Mr. Mark Lanegan.

I saw Mark Lanegan after the show, hurrying to catch a cab. He nearly ran me over. I would've said "Hi" and "Great show!" to him, but the man is honestly a little frightening.

Well, I hope you all enjoyed this pictoral representation of my weekend in Seattle!

Barack'n'Roll

I had a case of the Mondays at work today and not much actual work to do. Still pumped from the outcome of this recent election, and inspired by a little poster in my cubicle that says "Barack you like a hurricane", I tried to come up with other ways that Barack can be incorporated with songs that have the word "rock" in the title. Here's what I came up with:

"Barack You Like a Hurricane" (The Scorpions)
"We Will Barack You" (Queen)
"I Love Barack and Roll" (Joan Jett)
"You're No Barack and Roll Fun" (Sleater-Kinney)
"Party Like Barack Does" (Shop Boyz...the original is actually "Party Like A Rock Star, but this wording sounded better to me)
"Barackin Around the Christmas Tree" (Brenda Lee)
"Barack Around the Clock" (Buddy Weaver)
"Barack the Kasbah" (The Clash)
"Barack and Roll All Night" (Kiss)
"I Wanna Barack" (Twisted Sister)
"Barack Lobster" (B-52s)
"Barack of Ages" (Def Leppard)
"It's Still Barack and Roll To Me" (Billy Joel)
"Barackin' in the Free World" (Neil Young)

Feel free to add your own and have at it!
