This week has been a busy one!!!!! Along with work, I have had some interesting social events.

Monday Ryan was in town touring with Jack White's band the Raconteurs. Him and his fellow crew members wore a "uniform."(SEE PHOTO) I never saw Ryan so dressed up. He looked sharp! I'll post a photo soon!
That night reminded me that I am a lucky person. I don't know how things turn out the way they do but I am fortunate to have the experience and situations that have allowed me to meet some amazing people. (especially musicians who top my list) This week, Ryan introduced me to Jack White and Jack was oddly curious of my life in Seattle vs. Philly. I always thought he would be a dick but I was completely wrong! He was so sweet that by the time our conversation ended, I was totally smitten. Super nice guy. I always loved his bluesy, southern rock style but seeing him rock out on the guitar blew my mind! He will be a legend. His two bands are doing great, he did an album with Loretta Lynn and even did a movie cameo as Elvis. The man is gifted and Ryan has been very lucky to work with such talented people. After the show, my friend Jessica and I hung out with Ryan for a little before he got on the bus and I went home for the little sleep time allowed.

Last night I attended "Cause for Drinks" a monthly charity event that $2 from every drink goes to a selected non-profit organization. It was a good time. I was home and in bed by 11:30. Not bad as thats my normal bed time. Tonight my apartment needs my love and attention.

Tomorrow night is my friend's "Wig and Wine" party. I have a couple wigs so this should be fun!

I have been super busy but all is good. I need up update my blog but in the meantime, here is a little video of my favorite neighborhood coffee shop. A little farther than UPtown Espresso but I simply like being here. Its in the heart of Belltown, near some of my favorite bars so I run into a lot of people I know. I love the environment and the super nice staff. On the night I had to study for my motorcycle license, after spending the hot summer day learning how to ride in an unshaded parking lot, Jesse, one of the owners gifted me a piece of coconut cake saying I needed "brain food" since he knew I was exhausted. See, now that's a small business I want to support.

What happened in May, you ask? Or didn't ask.

Its been a while since I posted here. May was an insanely busy but AMAZING. There was the Highline High School fundraiser dinner. I never recalled my high school having fundraisers and since I don't have kids, I told Carinna I would join her for her school's fundraiser auction/dinner. It was fun, I won a bottle of nice wine and 3 of us bid on the "Taste of Highline dinner" where several moms and staff would make meals passed down from their families. We were able to invite up to 10 friends. There was Italian, Somalian, Soul, Mexican, and Hawaiian. There may have been another but I forget. It was sooooo yummy and was hosted at a house that was on Lake Burien. They told us there may be a boat involved. The boat turned out to be a battery operated dock that quietly moved in the water. That was a riot. It was a beautiful evening with stories of the meals with some of my favorite seattle friends. The weather had finally taken a turn for the nicer so for my friend Sar...
