Neat!

A gentleman I work with here has done something neat with his house. They have put up a 19 foot tall mural of Bettie Page on the side of his house that faces I-5. He lives, or so I'm told, generally in the area of 60th in the U-District and apparently she's visible from the freeway.

That rules! Go him.

(PS: What blowed up your worksite yesterday?)

I'll let him know.

(I'd tell you but then I'd have to kill you.)

*grin*

[livejournal.com profile] harunoame and I will be tripping up that way sometime in the fall to visit [livejournal.com profile] kijjohnson. We'll all have to grab coffee or go to this cupcake place I keep hearing about.

Apparently there is some place in town that serves gourmet cupcakes. Kij is always raving about it. So I've decided I must investigate it. I'll try to find the name for you...

Huh. That could be a lot of places...

It's called Cupcake Royale on Market and Ballard Way apparently.

Ahhhhh. Ballard. I do not often go into that strange place.

I don't know it, what's the story?

[identity profile] lithera.livejournal.com 2006-08-22 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh. It's west of Seattle proper and is a nice enough place, really. It's just out of the way for most of the things I do, places I go.

The wife is always raving about that place - I hear it's damn good. For cupcakes.

You know, I keep hearing about this and I drive down this stretch highway twice ever day and yet I've never seen it...

[identity profile] lithera.livejournal.com 2006-08-22 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Hrmmmm. Not sure what to tell you.

[identity profile] thezzyzx.livejournal.com 2006-08-22 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course I saw it today...

[identity profile] thezzyzx.livejournal.com 2006-08-22 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
It's right by an exit (the one I take every wednesday to get my comics) making it a bit harder to see.

[identity profile] faerysprl.livejournal.com 2006-08-22 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I saw it on the way home the other day. I had totally planned to mention it but then forgot. :) Glad you did. It's very very cool. :)

I haven't gotten a chance to see her in person yet. I'm glad you saw her up there.

I do believe that falls under "goddamned cool" ^_^

That right there is a whole lot of awesome.
