The annual Seafair parade was on Saturday and passed right by my building: "The 2006 Southwest Airlines Torchlight Parade at SEAFAIR was a night full of "Arrrggghhhs" and "Yo Ho's" as 300,000 people celebrated the "Buccaneers of Yesteryear" in downtown Seattle!". I know this sounds dorky but the marching bands were my favourite, they were knocking out some great tunes and all movin' about in time...geee whiz.

Capitol Hill Block Party
It was the Capitol Hill Block Party this weekend: "The Capitol Hill Block Party is a huge, two-day explosion of bands and a unique combination of Seattle Music Community forces...There are over 45 bands on three stages, sun, great food and beer in the street. " 
Band of Horses rocked, especially their closing song, a cover of the 'Waiting on a Friend" by the Rolling Stones.
The view from the street corner.
Sun, moon, street and Poe.
Pretty Girls Make Graves.

It's crazy what...
...happens sometimes. I was driving home (well actually i was being driven) and when we reached the downtown area, near my place, some streets were cordened off and there were a number of police floating about. We didn't find out what was going on until we got into the lift at my building and were told the area was on lockdown because some people had been shot near by. See here for how close it was and see here for details. What's going on!?!

Company Picnic
It was the company picnic on the weekend, unfortunately I didnt take a camera but here is a photo taken from someones website. About 35,000 people went over two days to a field out back of the house pictured with a mountain rising up at the far end of the field. There was free everything: food, beer, drinks, entertainment, games, airbrushed tatoos...the list could go on. I don't know the person who's flickr site this is but check out "this" to get a better idea of what the day was like.
Sake Bombing!
Hadn't tried this before, you take one half pint of beer in a pint glass, one shot of sake (cold), drop the sake shot in to the pint glass, chug it down. It's the bomb!

Mount Rainier
Hiked the Skyline trail (http://www.nps.gov/mora/trail/skyline.htm) on Mt Rainier (http://www.nps.gov/mora/) on Saturday. The view at the highest point of the hike was amazing.
