They even had valet parking of sorts, as they immediately quarantined us before we could even find a good parking space. I swear the service here is hardly as good...

I did live in Seattle a few years (90-94). Saw Nirvana in a small recordstore when they released nevermind. I too wandered a bit, Phoenix, Portland, S. Oregon, and now back to Portland.

Marvin P. Goldstein Where are the blogathons and heated debates nowadays here at MFT?
