Can't Miss It: Weekend Edition Nov 20-22
Ryan Dobosh lived in Seattle from 1989--2002, before moving to Los Angeles. He is in town this week and has some thoughts about his old home.
I woke up this morning and had that old familiar dread coursing through my veins. "Did I leave my sunglasses in the car again?" I'm sure you will agree with me, that is THE WORST. Oh well, no matter, I was to get on a plane at noon bound for the lovely Pacific Northwest
While at 30,000 feet, you should know that Seattle looks a lot like other cities, bright, warm, and inviting. To my chagrin, when we descended through the clouds, they never actually stopped. And now I'm sitting here, full of Mac and Jacks (Am I saying that right?) and wondering what exactly I was thinking. Sure, this is technically my home town, but if you want to split hairs, it is also technically summer.
Um, are you guys kidding with this? I texted a good friend of mine in LA, who also hails from The Emerald City, and told him that the headlines in The Times read: Colder Than Siberia. He responded earnestly with the very same question I was asking myself, "People actually still live there?"
Just yesterday I was putting on sunscreen, washing my car, and complaining to my roommate Ed during the Lakers game that we absolutely needed to get central air conditioning or else. I mean, I could always move back home, right? That's before I realized that the skies here are not gray, they are WHITE. In June. Edward, I take it back.
You can beat Mr. Dobosh with an umbrella, or smother him with your parka this weekend at Re-Bar, where he will be performing in Mark Siano's Soft Rock Spectacular.

Technically the summer solstice is on June 20.
Not enough people living up here isn't really the problem, in fact I'd go the other way.
It's rainy and crowded.
i miss los angeles, even with the air pollution. this weather is kind of a downer.
This weather is making me miss the Midwest for the first time in years.
Um, I'll take some crappy cold and rain over floods and tornadoes....that ain't exactly paradise.
Waaaa. Crybabies. You knew what you were getting into when you moved here. Our hot fun months have always been July, Aug, Sept.
You'll all be blessing June when everyone else is having forest fires and begging for just a taste of our moisture.
I'm with Seattle on this one. 99 degrees and 99% humidity for 4 months in Arkansas is far worse than a delayed Seattle summer.
I'm in DC for a long weekend, and I'll take the weather in Seattle last Monday (50 and raining) over the weather in DC Friday and Saturday (90 degrees with 90% humidity) any day. I was so drenched in sweat that I had to wash what I thought were more than enough clothes for a 5 day trip. Can't wait to come home!
