Cruising for a Bruising
Another Seattle-based cruise ship has been involved in an incident up in the touristy waters of Alaska. Running aground is so last month, though--today the cool kids are colliding with fishing ships. The wee Spirit of Yorktown, a 257' cruise ship belonging to Cruise West of Seattle collided with the fishing vessel Adirondack on Monday. The Adirondack suffered extensive damage, including a crushed top house, but luckily not including a pierced hull. There weren't any injuries.
Highlights from the Art Spiegelman Thing Last Night
Tons of classic Spiegelesque wit bombs dropped last night at the Benaroya Hall lecture/slide show/performance. Our favorite was the curt dismissal of Roy Lichtenstein's work at the very start: "He did for comics what Andy Warhol did for soup." Oh, Spiegelman, you dog... You get him!
Goin' Off the Rails on the Dinner Train
The Spirit of Washington Dinner Train that goes from Renton to, well, Renton by way of the Columbia Winery in Woodinville is perilously close to having the track yanked from under it. Seattlest doesn't think that The Spirit of Washington Dinner Bus has quite the same ring, but if Ron Sims' plan of purchasing the 47 miles of track from Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway comes through the train might be out of business.
