[X] My Assistant

I am so hoping that you are serious, or my husband and I could be having some very long talks with the local police for potentially soliciting.
"really officer, there was a man and a woman with eastern accents asking where they could find sluts."

Does any of the locales knows clubs where metal and hardcore-shows take place?

Mostly small venues, neither style is popular enough around here to have a dedicated club, though some clubs may have a night dedicated to a particualr style. The club scene in Seattle is not particularly good, between local laws & insurance costs opening a dance club is expensive and difficult.

Brew-Pubs, Bars and Restaurants in Seattle however do quite well and have a wide variety of styles represented.

[Adarael]

With regards to what the locals call the streetcar, I just call it the streetcar. If pressed as to which I mean, I will say "The south lake union one."

For some fun insight on Seattle & it's inhabitants http://www.seattleweekly.com/columns/284118
A lot of this is largely tongue in cheek.

I do want to say 'thank you' for your help guys. I copied over many of these entries and then let my husband read through them. He was surprised the indian village on the island is still going strong. He said it was like indian dinner theatre in a theme park.

Any of you know about "Ride the Ducks?" These are amphibious trucks that give tours in some cities. I know there's one in Seattle. The one in Philadelphia is really good, we drag visitors onto it and they enjoy it, after going through the streets of philly it drives into the Delaware river. Any word on how good or not the one in Seattle is?

[ixombie]

You WILL go to Dick's and get a burger! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/love.gif)

You prolly don't want to go to the Space Needle, it's pretty boring.

Fremont is pretty cool. It's the center of the universe, you know.

[Cain]

It's been a long while, but the hardcore scene used to meet at the Ballard Firehouse. They still might have concerts there.

I've never ridden the Duck before, but I understand it's pretty good. It meets at Seattle Center, near the EMP, so it may be worth checking out while you're there.

And Dick's is seconded. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

For a "round the city, see lots of things" tour, the Ducks are pretty cool, especially since they're not restricted to land. As long as you don't mind people with quacking noisemakers, loud music, and all that stuff that usually comes with mobile tours (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

They always look like a good time, but my interactions with them have been from the perspective of being another driver on the road, trying not to get run into the ditch by some crazy guy rolling around in a modified assault transport.

Actually, for a Shadowrun player, rolling around Seattle in one of those is probably pretty entertaining (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

It is legal for you to have the airlines ship your sidearm as luggage. I'm not sure, however, if you have a permit to carry that will be valid in Washington. The number of states we've got reciprocity with are pretty low.

[Daddy's Litt...]

We know the ducks. Like SF said whenever we have family or friends visit we take them onto the ducks as a fun way to see Philadelphia. We all have those quackers and my husband's brother's wife just 'loves us to death' for giving their children the spares we picked up. She has said that She will have her revenge when Rei, my daughter, gets a little older.

Ducks look like a good time, never ridden them either but they seem to be pretty full even this time of year. Dick's burgers are nothing special, Dick's itself is cool because it represents one of the last surviving fast food mini-chains of the pre-interstate highway era. Also noteworthy is Gorditios for Burritos roughly the size of a firelog.

[Shrike30]

I usually advertise 'em to people as "a burrito the size of your head." They've got a picture of an infant next to one of their grande burritos. The burrito is larger.

[Kyoto Kid]

...back when I first moved to Seattle I remembered a place called the Outrageous Taco (or Burrito) where the large was about as big as you describe. It was in the north U-District area I think a block off of University Way.

Could this be the same place only the name has changed?

Doubt it, Gorditos has been an instiution on 85th Street North, just west of Greenwood Avenue for a long time now, 10-15 years at least.

I fixed it. I am refering to my sister in law but wanted it to be clear I meant on my husband's side, not one of the wives on my side of the family.

...thanks. Would have missed it anyway as I moved to Olympia in '82 then to Portland in '89. Just sounded a lot like the old Outrageous.

Damn! I was just starting to picture you in a whole new light. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
