Great Scott
You all saw Scott and Bisato on the last Seattle Met. But Check out these videos @andrewfawcett shot you can see more on his blog at: http://www.disoriented.com/
Professor Gall
I was out meeting with some places in Ballard and I ran into these guys in front of the old town hall tower. Its kind of like a little New Orleans from Portland. They are up for the weekend to perform at the Pink Door tonight at 9pm.
Afterward they are back down the coast line to hit up a few places on their way home in their self described "chitty chitty bang bang of a boat" that is "barely sea worthy."
Might be fun to go if you can make it.

Fall looks, thank you Ralph
I know I hate the first day of fall, especially this year, it was so dark and gloomy... and cold. But this video made me remember why I love fall. It's Ralph Lauren's fall line commented on by my very own company's FabSugar. Lets face it, Fall looks are the greatest of the year. and Ralph Lauren is a god.
So take a peak at these, and think about all the places to be, and things to do this fall.

Its like Pandora for places around town
So I was looking for some information on BalMar today, when I stumbled upon this site. http://www.sortuv.com Most of the funding information and press releases are from '09 but this is the first I've heard of it.
I think the summary tells all for it. This search engine that “make[s] it possible to discover information that is difficult to describe. Words like cool, modern, hip, romantic, retro and timeless mean different things to different people. So until computers can read your mind, Keywords don't always work. With Sortuv technologies you discover places, events, products, people, ideas and experiences that matter to you by comparing and connecting them to things you already know and like.”
Basically from what I can tell, it is like a Pandora for places around town.
Check out some screen shots and particularly the graphical interface that shows you how different places are related.
Melrose Market
I would love to work on a project the Melrose Market, someday. I think it is genius to be able to look at an abandoned few buildings, envision a revitalization, and then make it happen.
Props to Liz Dunn for making that happen.

I'm totally psyched to be working with the businesses that are now housed there, and I am excited to see many more projects around the city like it. It is things like this that will bring us out of the recession.

The Possible Choice
Dear David Granger,
I read Esquire every month and the first thing I do is flip to your letter. I am never really sure if I am interested in reading the rest of the magazine if I do not find the editors note at the very least provocative, if not insightful or interesting. The rhetorical rhythm of questioning your, and subsequently our, desire to be oil independent juxtaposed against our complete aversion to give up our powerful cars was beautiful, and kind of quaint.
I think I was like a lot of other guys, believing that I would love to be green in all respects of my consumption, but the car was the one thing I was unwilling to give up. It delivers a since of power, and independence that is as necessary as breathing to us guys. I thought it was impossible to replace until I went for a ride in a Tesla. I think the genius of Elon Musk is that the construction of a super car as the first of his line echos back to the old car race saying, "win on Sundy, sell on Monday." When the "engine" gunned, the sensation is like free falling forward, the wind masks all other sound, and people look at you with respect... The only thing it is missing is the roar or the Aston Martin V12 engine, which I am willing to give up for the torque and beauty alone, not to mention the fact that I'm not burning any oil.
That said, I think your "impossible choice" Just became possible.
