I <3 Seattle

Seattle was so great. I seriously love it there and could live there in an instant. This trip to Seattle was even better than past trips there because we were hanging out with a couple friends who live there and got away from downtown and into the local neighbourhoods of Capitol Hill (a very trendy, young neighbourhood with fantastically old brick buildings) and Fremont (an arty neighbourhood). We all spent Friday night drinking local beer at a couple bars in Capitol Hill and walked around and at 1AM, we drove to a park in Fremont that overlooks the entire city at night... it was damn great.

Seeing that side of Seattle has just cemented more in my head that I need to leave here and live in a big metropolitan city. Soon. I crave that kind of diversity and vibrancy. I felt this way when I came back from New York city last summer too. Living here may be a good place to settle down, but right now I want to experience and do things and I itch to get away.

Anyway! The real reason this journey to Seattle took place was to see the MSTRKRFT concert, which was also awesome. We were listening to their music on the whole drive down to Seattle so I was well primed! That was the second MSTRKFRT concert I'd been to and it was waaaay better than the first. Yep yep, it was great.

And now: homework and laundry. :(
