We took a quick family vacation to Arizona last week. We left Seattle on Sunday, April 2nd, and flew back Sunday, April 9th. I know a week is more than a “quick trip” but we moved around a lot so it really felt like a quick trip. We spent Monday Read more…

Sam and I went to see Tommy Emmanuel in Bellevue last Saturday night. In and of itself that doesn’t tell you much. It wasn’t just a simple concert though, it was an evening out. Many might not know who Tommy Emmanuel is or what style of music he plays. We’ll Read more…

Sam and I went to see Yo La Tengo Thursday evening, Feb 16th. You could be forgiven for assuming this is some sort of mariachi band with a name like Yo La Tengo but you’d be quite wrong. They’re a three piece rock band from New Jersey. They’ve been together Read more…
