Unfortunately Flat

Did the tires get slashed? I mean, how else does this happen?

The Hood

I love Belltown.

Bathtub Gin Bar Tab

The most literal bar tab I've ever received. 

Chris Checking In

Belltown Pub had a Google Places event tonight. Chris is practicing checking in on Google Latitude, or maybe actually doing it, who knows. Also, I walked out on my tab tonight - worse, I was completely sober. 

Ski-ball Champ

The Rabbit Hole has ski-ball, and I'm pretty good at it. I always shoot for the 50, rather than go for the 100, which means I consistently hit 30s and 40s. I played with a new friend today that I met at a Lions meetup and he's from the West side of Michigan, random.  

Alley Needles

Gus and I went to brunch and then shopping. On our way out of my apartment building (through the alley entrance) we found this fun gem. Luckily we have CleanScapes, and I did call them, but it may have taken a little while for them to come get it because upon returning, it was still there. If only we had a MID or BID in Belltown... 

Free Beer

Considering the normal signs we receive in the elevator, this was a nice refresher. You can read more about it here. 

Tom Cruise-ish?

We met this guy (and his friend) at Belltown Pub. They were in town from Boston, or somewhere out east. This guy kind of looked like Tom Cruise, though in this picture, he doesn't. 

Also, it is funny that I am holding a beer, because I am not drinking right now. I think belonged to the person taking the photo. 

Tequila!

It was girls night out, but our guy friends at the bar offered us a round of tequila. I actually passed on it. Tuesday night and tequila just did not seem like a good plan. 

12AM Awards

Obviously, if this is my view, I'm not there. 

Sunday Funday

You have to watch out for Sunday. April and I were supposed to go sailing, but the weather was not cooperating, so we all got drunk instead. Then, we went back to Brandon and Laura's house where we all had a nap (Brandon, Laura, April and I) in the living room, while watching Clueless. Ah, family.

Oh, this pic is Laura and Tucker. 

New Bed for Kitty?

April's cat, Nala, must know that I am allergic to her. Instead of cuddling up to me, she cuddled up in my bag. Go figure.

Green Thumb?

This year I decided to grow tomatoes. It kind of worked. Here are the two tomatos that are ripe. I have a few more forming, we'll see if they make it. 

Bonus pic:

I went to this horrible event tonight, that one might try to call a fashion show? The girls (April, Marissa, Laura and I) won tickets and we thought it would be fun... but... not so much. It was poorly organized (we arrived late and still had to wait, they didn't have 2 of us on their guest list, even though we were on it, no direction on where it was OK and where it wasn't OK to sit, etc.) Also, it was at iMusic, which is a venue that is... well, less than desirable. Here is a pic from the "Avante Guarde" portion, which really just meant, um, well, you decide for yourself. Though, I'm sure the local kiss ass bloggers will rave about this event. 

The Album Leaf

Heidi and Jose had tickets to see The Album Leaf at the Croc, but Jose couldn't make it so I went with Heidi. I was pleasantly surprised, having never listened to them before. Now they rotate in my Spotify list. 

Technically this show was on the 18th, but this pic was taken after midnight and I wanted to include it because it was awesome.

Check In.. Where?

While Chris &  prance through Paris, I am using my green thumb to make sure their plants are healthy and happy. While on their balcony, I took yet another picture of this iconic sign.

Random Bikes

I'm not sure what this was about, but some random bike riders were gathering on 2nd Ave, listening to an old school boom box, and then rode off into the night.

I also took a video...

Why So Many Brooms???

This is the alley behind my apartment... I am curious, why are there so many brooms?

Also, a fun bonus picture of my friends being silly...

Rooftop Sunset

Sunset from my rooftop. Ahh, Belltown life.

Alley

So, I'm not really sure why I took this picture of an alley in Belltown. But, apparently, on my walk home from seeing the boys at Amore Jazz Jam, I decided this would make a good shot.

Pallada!

A view of Pallada, which once was the world's fastest sailboat, from my rooftop.
