Fry’s Electronics
My search for a wireless keyboard with a mouse device for the new computer led me to the Fry’s Electronics store in Renton. Frankly, I was underwhelmed for a Costco sized geek super store. Lots of stuff, but not super cheap and not more stuff than anybody else.
silver platters cd run
Some of my old cd buying haunts are disappearing. Orpheum on Broadway went out of business last year. I just found out that Love Music in Redmond is in the middle of a liquidation sale I headed over to Silver Platters in Bellevue to see if they were still in business. […]
Todai
After our day in Seattle, Patty wanted to try out Todai in Redmond Town Center. I had been there once before and considered it fast food sushi, but since Patty really wanted to try it I said sure.
This time the sushi was fresher. We happen to catch a point where they […]

As we entered the Showbox and got our lovely free loader stamps, we looked for someplace to sit down and enjoy our drink and wait.
The right side was curtained, so we found a table on the left side and settled in for the opening act - Papa M - to go on stage.
I […]
the super surry animals show - the Green Room
For the Super Furry Animals show, we got into downtown Seattle a little before 8pm. Being early, we went into the Green Room, which is the bar attached to the Showbox. Happy Hour runs until 8pm, so Patty ordered a beer, while orded a well dink - rum & coke. There were […]
