I love Seattle and a booze cruise

So I was in Seattle Sun through Thursday of this week working a trade show. I have to say that this city is just so incredibly cool, that it is the only place (other than the great state of TX, of course) where I can easily envision myself living for a while. The people are so nice and laid-back, the overall pace is slower than the break-neck speed of the rat-race here in the DC area. And the FOOD, oh my God, I had the best salmon and banana creme pie I have ever tasted in my life. PLUS, I love the fact that I can have a new micro-brew every day of the year. (My new fave is Pyramid-Hefenweizer - or however the hell it's spelled). And the Pike Market? And the fact that it has a very cool music scene? And that it's a hop, skip and a jump away from Canada in case I need to flee from the law? Yeah, it's a no-brainer.

So tomorrow night the company I work for is sponsoring a small three hour cruise on the Potomac. I see visions of the "booze cruise" episode of The Office. :) I sincerely hope it isn't that bad. However, I hear it will be a tiki bar theme, so if a limbo stick is involved, all bets are off.
