Space Needle on EMP,
04 September 2003 (Modified 06 Sep 2003 9:51 am) ; 5 comments
While obviously a cheap shot that's irresistable to anyone who comes to the Seattle Center, I do so like the effect of the Space Needle as reflected off the shiny, curved walls of the Experience Music Project. |

This mural graces the steel girder of the pedestrian bridge to route 51, passing under route 99, in Seattle. I'm pretty much speechless; the more you look at it, the wackier it becomes. The world bank! Coke chased by the police! Kids in wheelchairs! Wow. |

create our own haunted yard. |

Sketches of various kinds of people I've seen at clubs. While I normally dislike the contrived effect of loosely structured prose, I use it here because (a) it's what I started with and (b) I think it suits the subject matter. This is a rough rough draft |

French Hotel,

Last November, on election night, I was deeply depressed and wandered over to a coffee shop. I had a conversation with a crazy, almost child-like woman about friendship and religion that that stripped raw my certainties about either. |
