Freebasing Magic

Mabs is in town.

That's right, you heard it here first: MABS IS IN TOWN.


Spencer and I have known Mabs since he was a wee lad of 3, back when people besides me still called him Mabs rather than Matt. Note to Matthew: Mabs will live on as long as I do. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO KILL ME, MABS.

We all went to Gas Works Park,


which is the most post-apocalyptic place I've ever been.




I am truly sorry it didn't occur to me to yell, "SOYLENT GREEN IS PEEEEOPLE!!!" It would have added to the experience for everyone, I think.


Afterwards we made a quick trip to see the Fremont Troll,


then headed over to Theo Chocolate, where they are not stingy with the samples.


On the way home I got a mocha, and Adia, having missed her nap, decided she wanted some, I guess as a little pick-me-up. So she screamed "COFFEEEEEE!!!" from the backseat of the car until Chrissy calmed her down with some chocolate and songs from The Little Mermaid.

And then we all lived happily ever after.

Wow, that is awesomely post-apocalyptic. I may have to come visit just so I can practice hiding out from the Zombies.

Actually, Gas Works Park is closer to you than to me. Mabs was staying in Seattle, so we went down to see him for the day. And there are TONS of places to hide from zombies. I totally checked.

Seattle is a cool place. We visited once about 2.5 years ago and it seems like a cool place to live. Did I already tell you that?

Sabayon said...

Seattle is a cool place to live, like really cool, or just north of there, that's cool too, you should live there.

PS: I now feel like a total dorkus for not paying any attention to the fact that there was the space needle in your picture.

Samantha - Seattle is pretty cool, but right now I'm partial to the smaller town feel of Bellingham.

Sabayon - Well, the Space Needle is pretty small there in the background. I think you overlooking it can be overlooked. This time.

I too, have been known to sit in the backseat and yell (I don't really scream) "COFFEEEEE" until someone placates me like that. But mostly I just make my own coffee because it's hard to drive from the backseat, and my odds of being plied with chocolate and Disney tunes are slim to none.

Other than that, it looks like it was the perfect kind of day

canihelpyousir - When you visit you can request chocolate and Disney tunes. I think Chrissy and I can make that happen.
