Seattle, WA The Moore Theatre

February 14, 2008

Having not been on tour for a while, or for that matter in Seattle with time on my hands, it was exciting to have two shows in Seattle. We stayed near the Moore Theatre, and the morning after the first show, I went on quite the food walk. First to Top Pot, for a donut and coffee. Then a fantastic meal at Le Pichet, a great little French place (though they get points off for playing the Decemberists throughout my meal- not even just a record, but a shuffle of all our records- a good problem to have, I guess, but distracting).

The rest of the morning, I walked around Pike Place and made a plan of action for the next morning. Before we left town on Friday, I bought cheese at Beechers, bread and coco bites at Dahlia Bakery, tortillas and masa at the imaginatively named Mexican Grocery, where I couldn’t resist a breakfast taco also, and then we had to get some coffee at Victrola. Shopping this way made me miss my old neighborhood in San Francisco. I love shopping store by store. Anyway, I love Seattle.
