Not my pic, but it is what I ate today (cuban pork sandwich)

coriander-crusted potatoes with coriander ketchup

god damn i love coriander

pro tip: grind a ton of coriander seeds and mix with ketchup, it tastes 10x better than normal ketchup and is great with fries, etc.

Valextra grip wallet in this color, super slim and very functional

yea you'll be fine with just the bus/occasional taxi. Bus/light rail ranges from 2-2.75. Ballard is a little ways out but is fairly well connected to the downtown area.

around town? how long are you going to be around/any ideas on where you want to go?

Light rail to/from the airport, it'll take you right downtown and there are signs pointing to it in the airport. If you're just hanging around downtown/belltown/pioneer square/cap hill/queen anne, maybe the occasional trip to ballard/fremont/u district, then you'll be fine with just the bus. If you want to take any trips outside the city (hikes, etc) you'll probably need a car of some sort.

Damn, Yamo in the mission is awesome. Hole in the wall super cheap Burmese, tea leaf salad is delicious...

SIFF time

Great visuals/soundtrack, eh story

BoO, uniqlo, mmm, porter

been a while...

I haven't seen it yet. My first thought was "Bill Murray and zombies, together at last!"

I place a lot of faith in the opinions of those who frequent this thread. Now I don't even know if I should bother watching it...

Eh, Zombieland is worth it for one or two bill murray lines, it's not a total waste of time. Adventureland, on the other hand, I would avoid.

i hate to be the guy who always hates everything but am i the only one who thought that zombieland was pretty much the worst thing ever

You are not the only one, both zombieland and adventureland were mediocre best.

Ruach's suggestions are definitely good ones. Also, forgot to mention that you should go see a show at Neumos/Chop Suey/Crocodile

Shopping:

* Blackbird/Field house, Barney's, Jack Straw I suppose, Ian as a last resort, Goods for streetwear, not much else...

Sights:

* Seattle Art Museum and the associated restaurant/bar

* Pike place

* Sculpture park

* Underground tour

* Fucking coffee shops? I dunno... Check out Bauhaus for good people watching, Stumptown/Cafe Vivace/Cafe Vita/Cafe Umbria for good coffee and nice atmosphere

* Honestly Seattle is more of a food/drink city than a sightseeing one. If you want to sight-see, get out into the nature around the city, skiing/olympic mountains/mount st helens/whatever.

Food:

* Fucking fantastic sandwiches at Salumi (worth the wait, get the sopressata with gorgonzola on ciabatta), Paseo, Skillet (street food, check their blog)

* Rancho Bravo & Tacos Gringos are the better mexican food in the downtown-ish area, though nothing to brag about if you're from somewhere with good mexican.

* Tons of good middle-higher end places including Tilth, Purple, Quinn's, Lark, La carta de oaxaca, via tribunali, glo's, le pichet, etc. Check urbanspoon for a pretty good list.

* Cheap and tasty asian food in the international district: Sichuan noodle bowl, MIke's noodle house, 663 bistro, Henry's Taiwan, Green leaf, Pho Bac, etc.

Drink/nightlife:

* Hipster dives and mildly trendy bars in capitol hill/downtown (Cha Cha, Redwood, Linda's, Unicorn for dives. Tavern Law, Knee High stocking co, bathtub gin for trendy speakeasies. Grey, The Saint, Barca, Zig Zag, Can Can are a few decent mid-range bars. Stick around capitol hill/pike place/belltown for a more lively scene. Afterhours on weekends at the electric tea garden.

* Meat market clubs/bars in belltown

* Clubs (as best as Seattle can do them.... which isn't that good) are mostly in Pioneer square and Belltown, with one or two in capitol hill.

* Hodge-podge of dives and upscale bars in Ballard & fremont.

^^^ yesss

Was there pretty recently, didn't spend a ton of time there but...

-Don't go to Apocalypse Now unless you're looking for a fucking ton of hookers (or, if you are looking for a ton of hookers, go to Apocalypse Now)

-Temple club has pretty nice drinks, good atmosphere.

-Drink a shit ton of ice coffee (ca phe sua da)

-Quan an ngon for slightly upscale street food-style digs. Didn't go to the one in Saigon, but the one in Hanoi is great.

-Hit up street food/small restaurants for Bahn xeo, bun bo hue, bahn mi, pho bo kho (or just pho), seafood around the market areas, etc.

-Forget the names of most of the nicer restaurants I hit up, but there are some very nice upscale french/vietnamese places all around the city.

Not much in the way of shopping as far as clothes go. Nice interior design shit, though.

Not the best pic... but damn this was a tasty breakfast.

Mustard seed, curry leaf, chile and onion scrabled eggs + cucumber flatbread.

Are seasons 3 & 4 worth it, or should I just pretend the show ended at season 2?

muji makes decent looking, cheap weekend bags. They pack away nicely too, which makes them convenient to carry as spare luggage.

yea I saw that it's technically out, but I can't find downloads of it anywhere and Amazon doesn't have it on sale until the 26th

edit: oh shit but amazon does have 30 second previews up for the whole album... sounds amazzzinnggg

millionyoung is excellent, looking forward to his new EP dropping in the next few days

Damn, can't believe I forgot to add peep show and spaced. Both are excellent. I'll have to check out The Inbetweeners as well.

well, I finished the first season in 1 1/2 days... some of the jokes and plot twists were very predictable, but it got a few laughs out of me

now I'm really curious about other British shows... I've seen the UK version of The Office (doesn't really do it for me) and I remember watching Phoenix Nights in my hotel room when I visited London, which I thought was hilarious at the time. I'm almost tempted to download the show Shameless, which was done by the same people as Skins... any other suggestions?

As far as comedy goes:

-Nathan Barley

-Mighty Boosh

-Garth Marenghi's Darkplace

-Office

-Extras

how does margiela footwear fit? i want to cop the velvet sneakers but its a US11, and i wear US 11.5 in most other sneakers. Any ideas?

I usually wear a sz11.5 and got a sz45 in for margiela sneakers. Fit is perfect.

I have yet to find a good place for coffee in Seattle, which is very depressing

stumptown

caffe umbria

vivace

vita

d'arte

zoka if you're close to one of their locations

upppppppppppppppp
