I stayed inside my bedroom all day with my floor-standing little A/C unit.
It's nice inside the room. I don't dare venture outside it though.
I wasted the whole day playing this >_>

I went to the M's game, our seats were in the shade, and I somehow still got sunburned. My stand up AC unit is working well in my apartment though.
Yeah, it was unbearable in my AC less house, but once I went out it was great.
Chilling on my balcony now and it feels so good.
4th of July in Wallingford is the most nightmarish traffic horror. Here's a list of things that will happen:
1. People will get towed from in front of hydrants.
2. people will dump Dick's burger wrappers in my yard.
3. Someone will park in my driveway.
4. Someone will block THAT car in.
5. Hours after the display is over, gang members from the U District will actually shoot guns AND loose off illegal fireworks.
6. I will get stuck trying to get into or out of my neighborhood.

We get home from Morocco/Netherlands the morning of the 4th and are hoping we can stay awake for a party at our friends' place in West Seattle. We'll see.

Yeah I figured. Might go back to SoCal and come back better prepared.
Commuting in from up north isn't necessarily that bad. My commute is currently ~3 miles inside of the city, and can take 50 minutes. When I was commuting in from Snohomish county it wasn't that much longer. This is all public transit fwiw.

The struggle is real here for me. I mean the wife hasn't found work since December. I barely make enough to pay rent and bills with enough for food for two. I am probably going to chalk it up as a learning experience and head back "home". Was a nice adventure but, not enjoying the work I'm doing either. I luckily have a grandmother that will allow me to stay with her until I get things together again.
I'm sorry things aren't working out, the city is getting real rough for everyone not making six figures. Way different place than when I grew up. Best of luck.
I'm on disability. Staying in the city is seriously becoming like pulling teeth. Such a shame because for the most part, I do love it here.

This is the sad truth and it really bums me out. The city shouldn't be for a lucky few. :-(
It's seriously insane, I've had friends move home because 75k wasn't enough just to pay rent and bills. Hell, I was making 65k and had to move back in with my parents.
Hope all you guys/gals out there make it, Seattle's a seriously rough market unless you're rich, lucky, or happy with living paycheck to paycheck.

It's weird how companies here in Seattle/Eastside like to use old-school corporate/enterprise platforms that are usually super clunky and inelegant. Coming from the Bay Area where everyone was most likely using the latest and most elegantly designed SaaS platform for whatever they needed. I see it at work often, and just around me as well. Microsoft and a lot of these companies having their roots here likely doesn't help.

I went to the M's game today with my wife and daughter. Was Wekfest the thing with cars at WaMu Theater? What is Wekfest?
Wekfest was a car event in the Century Link Event Center. Was only $20 to get in.

Sorry, that's what I meant.
But yeah. This is the first time Wekfest held an event here. (They hosts the show in Honolulu, Chicago, Long Beach, San Jose, and NYNJ). If you noticed a long line up and roll-in of cars on the road near the Safeco. Now you know why.

Anyone here into live music and stuff? I'm helping/playing a few shows coming up in August.
Y'all vote?
Definitely, you should post about them in here when they're coming up.

Anyone watch the mayoral debate last night? Derkin was super stiff, Oliver did a good job and I still like Cary Moon but I think I'm leaning more toward Jessyn Farrel now.

Going to shows is the most babysitter worthy of outings. Definitely going to at least the Helio Sequence mural show (with the kids though), maybe other mural shows. Also going to see Temples at the Showbox in August.
Got any links to your music?

I've got tickets for Broken Social Scene and Slowdive in the Fall. Probably gonna go to the free Telekinesis show for my birthday with my family and friends.

Telekinesis, I haven't heard of them in a long time. What are the details with a free show?
distantmantra
Member
Yeah, I hadn't heard anything from them in years.
August 11th at the Seattle Center Mural Amphitheatre. Part of KEXP's Summer concert series.

Damn, I think we were at the same M's game. I saw the huge line and I asked a guy in line what the line was for and he told me Wekfest. I didn't know what Wekfest was so I just continued peacefully on to Safeco Field. Honestly the game was a bore so maybe I should have just went to Wekfest instead. :|
I was at the very front of that line in front of the event center. There were a lot of high quality builds at Wekfest. There was even low riders, trucks, vintage and classic cars, restromods, and tons of modified cars.
Here's my pics. Not exactly high quality and I'm no professional photographer.
