This past weekend Seattlest visited Gothamist's stomping grounds. We were there for the farewell shows of Rainer Maria, but had our days free to see the sights and take in the New York experience. We stumbled upon a once-in-a-lifetime event in the world of street art, and amazing as it was, we couldn't help but to be struck by what lessons it could have for Seattle.
Seattle Should Lose Buildings To Developers NYC-style
Aural Pleasures
Seattlest doesn't find this picture funny at all. We know firsthand how hard those awkward years of high school can be. The pimples, the pants that didn't fit right, the God-awful hours spent wishing Heather Cannon would think of us as more than that creepy guy staring at her. If you think this picture is funny, well, you're a bad person.
Re-igniting An Old (Musical) Flame
Musical relationships are like any other; they have an initial period of euphoria followed by the shift into reality, and from there the relationship either continues to grow or it dies. They're prone to the same tendencies, the same awkwardness, the same needs for "time apart." And as in the rest of life, it's often nice to revisit with old flings to see how they're doing.
Stalk of the Town
It's rained--hard--five out of the last six weekends. And after a week of beautiful weather, it's supposed to cloud over Saturday and rain Sunday. Along with the byplay of their weekend, the Seattlests answer the question "Why does God hate Seattle?"
