Lots of music exhibits, which we didn't see, but we did walk past the giant central art piece. A fountain of music? All instruments, mostly guitars, some funky ones, worth a long look.
We happened to be there for the Marvel Superheros exhibit. Very nice mix of original artwork, first edition comics, movie props and made for the exhibit statues that were perfect for taking pictures.
The new Ms. Marvel!!!! I love these new comics! Her story is more complicated-it includes some teenage coming of age bits, and immigrant parents/social life on top of the complications of becoming a superhero.
Original old school!
Hanukkah card from The Thing!
There was a whole section on indie video games that let you play the games. We had to play Overcooked-lol! If you haven't heard of it, you need at least 2 people to run this kitchen-make soup or burgers by prepping ingredients, cooking, plating, and washing dishes. But the people are separated physically and have different tools. So I might be the only person with access to onions for the onion soup. It can get stressful but if you figure out how to work together it is satisfying!
Sci-Fi and Horror section. Again full of props from movies and tv shows. But also some nice informational sections.
One wall explained the differences between your common creepy beings, vampire vs shapeshifter vs demon etc.
Fun!
Old school D&D
And of course you can't forget the gift shop. Excellent selection of t-shirts and lunch boxes. Was almost tempted by this beauty of a Star Trek lunch box...but I would never use it :(
We were in town this particular weekend so that we could do the Tunnel Ride.
Seattle has been replacing their viaduct with a tunnel. It's taken awhile but it is finally done and folks are excited. This first weekend the city is letting the runners (Saturday) and cyclists (Sunday) use the viaduct and tunnel before the cars.
Look how happy I am at the beginning of the ride.
If you get lost, meet back here. Most of the riders look exactly the same-yellow jackets, black pants. We try to stand out :)
We all look happy to be here.
The tunnel is so fresh and clean!
So many cyclists! The event sold out-12,000 cyclists! Such a nice variety too, family groups, oldsters, recumbent bikes, 3-person tandems. And all polite, everyone just enjoying the ride
Of course the weather was not the best...but just a light misting.
Okay, now I am a little tired. But we must point to the things.
Better pointing at things.
OMG Tater tot nachos. Brilliant. Lunchbox labs-cute decor, great staff, and tasty, tasty tater tots!
