Which sounds more fun - San Francisco or Seattle?

― I'm Fuzzy (coco), Friday, 5 January 2007 15:45 (seventeen years ago) link

San Francisco.

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 5 January 2007 15:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Ha ha. Hi, Nick.

― I'm Fuzzy (coco), Friday, 5 January 2007 15:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Woah, RedEye, eh? You're gonna have to change your name to Fakey McBlowinup, which I just accidentally typed as Fakey McBowlingup.

Both cities are fun, Sarah, and different from Chicago. Both are surrounded by gorgeous landscapes, if you can get an hour out of the city.

And if you took three days and drove up the coast from San Fran to Seattle, it'd be the trip if your life, if you like pretty outdoors.

― Eazy (Eazy), Friday, 5 January 2007 15:50 (seventeen years ago) link

As a possible travel destination, I feel like I should pick Seattle, because I haven't been there since 1993 (whereas I was in SF three years ago), but I don't know anyone in Seattle and a couple of my best friends from college (not to mention all-around good chap Adamrl) are in SF.

Vancouver

Failing that, San Fran.

― daniel striped tiger (OutDatWay), Friday, 5 January 2007 15:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Vancouver's, what, a two-hour drive north from Seattle? Or a ferry ride?

― Eazy (Eazy), Friday, 5 January 2007 16:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I was thinking a Seattle trip would include a minitrip to the Butchart Gardens, and a San Fran trip would include a minitrip to wine country and the redwoods.

I'M READY TO BE MARRIED ALREADY! GEEZ!

I want to visit san francisco

― Jeff. (Jeff), Friday, 5 January 2007 16:06 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't care about wine country.

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 5 January 2007 16:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I have been to vineyards. They are boring.

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 5 January 2007 16:10 (seventeen years ago) link

But pretty maybe?

What does being married have to do with trips? Are these possible honeymoon destinations?

That sheriff looks familiar.

1 hour (if I remember right) from Seattle:

― Eazy (Eazy), Friday, 5 January 2007 16:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, these are possible honeymoon locations, John.

― I'm Fuzzy (coco), Friday, 5 January 2007 16:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I believe Twin Peaks was partially filmed in Snoqualmie.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 5 January 2007 16:37 (seventeen years ago) link

You are correct sir.

― I'm Fuzzy (coco), Friday, 5 January 2007 16:49 (seventeen years ago) link

I feel like eating some delicious cheese.

I want a big fat cheeseburger for lunch.

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Friday, 5 January 2007 17:09 (seventeen years ago) link

I want a small salad and 5 ginger snaps. BOO YAH!
Oh, wait, no. That isn't fun at all.

― I'm Fuzzy (coco), Friday, 5 January 2007 17:11 (seventeen years ago) link

I am tired and haven't eaten today because of 10am meeting which was CALLED A BREAKFAST BUT IN FACT CONTAINED NO FOOD AT ALL so the end result is that I'm feeling more than a little bit manic and inclined to poke the bear. I don't know what the bear is, necessarily, but today I would poke it.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 5 January 2007 17:11 (seventeen years ago) link

I want a pita sandwhich with chips & guac on the side. I wish I could check out Karyn's (not cooked, been there).

― I'm Fuzzy (coco), Friday, 5 January 2007 17:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Dan's friend Katie gave us a ride home and while we were at the intersection of Broadway, Montrose and Sheridan waiting for the light I said to Dan, "Tell Katie when it's OK to go" and it was funny.

― pens, action figures and glass shards (unclejessjess), Friday, 5 January 2007 18:03 (seventeen years ago) link

it's funny because we were waiting for a green light and i told dan to tell katie when it was ok to proceed.

― pens, action figures and glass shards (unclejessjess), Friday, 5 January 2007 18:09 (seventeen years ago) link

How else would she have known?

― daniel striped tiger (OutDatWay), Friday, 5 January 2007 18:12 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't get it.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 5 January 2007 18:13 (seventeen years ago) link

You're retarded.

I ate a hamburger.

I just put my iPod on shuffle, and the first song that came on was "Skeet Skeet" by Hot 8 Brass Band song. ;_;

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 5 January 2007 18:26 (seventeen years ago) link

(Dunno where that extra "song" came from.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 5 January 2007 18:29 (seventeen years ago) link

The new Explosions in the Sky album is totally rockin' my ass, goddamn.

― daniel striped tiger (OutDatWay), Friday, 5 January 2007 20:05 (seventeen years ago) link

I like that one, too. I just put it on my mp3 player!

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Friday, 5 January 2007 20:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Hi Pete Smith!

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Friday, 5 January 2007 20:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey, Pete!

I don't know what to do tonight! I want beers but I'm sure I will fall asleep with my face in one so maybe it's not a social occasion.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 5 January 2007 21:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Also on my iPod shuffle: a cover of "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover," by someone called Platinum Pied Pipers, who sort of sound like Herbert or Gnarls Barkley. Very interesting.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 5 January 2007 21:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Pretty sure that PPP song was from Jordan. That's where I got it anyways.

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 5 January 2007 21:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Traffic accident! Is everything okay?

― Party Time Country Female (pullapartgirl), Friday, 5 January 2007 21:50 (seventeen years ago) link
