underground tour & urban craft fair

If you live in Seattle, once in a while, the subject of the underground tour will come up. In my case, a few days ago my friends and I were trashtalking trashy girls, when one of my friends shared a story about how whores used to stand on sidewalk skylights with their prices on the bottom of their shoes to lure the underground guys. (In Seattle, there are skylights on the sidewalks so that there's some light in the underground area which is mostly used for storage nowadays.) Anyway, that got us talking about the underground tour, which we wasted no time buying tickets for.

It's not all it's cracked up to be. They didn't even mention the thing about the whores. There wasn't even anything to see underground; there weren't even rats. It was a good history lesson though, specially for those who get the Tacoma jokes.

While downtown, I also went to the urban craft fair at Seattle Center. What can I say, all craft fairs are the same; I look around, don't see anything, (and even if I did it would be too expensive), then leave. One thing that did catch my eye though was the chalkboard t-shirts. I didn't grab a business card, but I'd recommend googling it if you're into obscure crap like that.

There's something real special about doing tourist activities in your own city. Maybe I'll try out Ride The Duck sometime..
