Goyer? I Hardly Know Her!
Ang and I spent the day walking around Seattle. We spent a good deal of time at Pike Place Market. Since I'm seldom home in the evenings, I don't have much time to cook for myself, so I forget that I live around the corner from fresh fish and produce. We bought some fresh fruit and vegetables, and I made a mental note to learn how to cook seafood once Ang leaves.
In the afternoon we met up with blogging superstar Matt Goyer, his girlfriend Natalie, Ming and a few of their friends and set off to White River to see Radiohead in concert.
Funny story about getting the tickets. A few weeks ago, my friend Graham emailed my roommate and me asking if we were interested in going to see Radiohead when they came to town. I told him in no uncertain terms that I was interested. A few weeks later, I asked about the status of the tickets. He told he hadn't bought any tickets, but was merely asking if this was the sort of thing I would go for. Andy thankfully then took it upon himself to buy three general admission tickets, and I thought the matter was settled. Then I remembered that Sunday was the day after Ang arrived. Now I couldn't very well abandon my girlfriend for an evening, so I sold my ticket to another friend. I came home that evening to an email from Matt, telling me he had two extra tickets to Radiohead, and asking if I and a guest wanted to go with them.
So that's the story of how I ditched my Seattle friends to go to a concert with people I had never before met (in the flesh, that is).
Oh, and in case you're wondering, the concert was fantastic and I highly recommend attending a Radiohead show be made mandatory for a high school diploma.
