groovy times

Hey, just like that I'm back from the northwest.
I do dig the Seattle. A great energy of "we're all getting stuff done but we're not stressed about it". And I love the little houses in the neighborhoods. And the permaview of the mountains.
Portland was nice too, indeed.

5 Useless facts about the trip:

1) when in Eugene, OR, saw that Steve Kellogg was doing an in store the next day. But we didn't stay in Eugene.
2) we heard more ZZ Top and Boston on the radio than any other band.
3) Robyn Hitchcock had been in Eugene 2 nights before us (heard the bartender talking about Peter Buck) and was at the club associated w/ the hotel I stayed in one night a couple days before me.
4) TW lectured us on a drum machine that adjusts to human imperfect timekeeping in real time. Good for those who don't like being a slave to a machine.
5)Within the week, we drove on both extreme ends of I-90. Getting off the Mass Pike on the last day, the woman said "I'm just so tired I can't keep my mouth from opening".
Now is this a Mad Libs version of "my eyes from closing"?
In any case, it's the best thing I've heard from a Toll collector since "No, I'm sure it's on the album 'Face Dances'" from a guy on the phone assumingly arguing facts about the Who w/ his buddy at 3am.
