It's monday that means it's time for the weekend review. So this weekend on Saturday it was
Free Museum Day. We decided we were going to the
EMP Museum. Now I had been to EMP back on opening day. When I went there again on Saturday, holy crap was it way different. Opening day, was a cluster fuck mess of people and closed exhibits. I wasn't really sure what to expect. Obviously I checked out the website before we went. When I first went it was only about music and music memorabilia. Now they have horror film, fantasy film and sci-fi film stuff. I was looking forward to seeing actual movie props, not replicas. This is basically Mr. Paul Allen's personal collection. have fun going through the picture journey of my experience.

First we went to the Jimi Hendrix exhibit.
Next it was the Nirvana exhibit.

| Teddy looked really sad and I wanted to break him out and take him home with us. |
Side note, I would, if I had the money, buy every single one of these props and keep it for myself. Yes, I am that selfish. Ha ha. Could you even imagine having Teddy walking and talking around your house?
Another side note. We took our DSLR camera with us. We ended up taking a whopping 43 pictures with and the rest on our cell phones. Isn't it crazy how you start to prefer the cellphone camera over you "good" camera. Ha ha. Oh well.
After we were done at EMP Museum we went to the "Armory's" food court. We had never been to
MOD Pizza. After I tasted this nectar of the gods, I couldn't believe I hadn't been there before! It was so damn good.
 |
| Please do not drool on your keyboard, it isn't good for the electronics. Ha ha. |
After we were done eating, we made our down the "Mercer mess" to Heather Palooza 2013. This was a benefit for Melissa's best friend Heather. Please check out
heatherslungs.com. She is an amazing person who could use some help.
Sunday we had some house chores and projects. I got some GTA V and SR IV time. The weather over the weekend here was crazy. There was flooding, trees falling over, power outages and a confirmed
tornado in the state of Washington. How much more crazy can you get? I hope you enjoyed the pictures of the EMP. I can't wait for Museum Day next year. Till next.
