Out To Lunch
I was working downtown on Tuesday and had a couple of hours between meetings. It was a lovely day, and I took the opportunity to stroll around at lunchtime. Harbor Steps is a sweeping staircase leading from the Seattle Art Museum down to the waterfront, and is a very “happening” place on a summer afternoon.
I arrived at Harbor Steps just in time to catch the last number in a lunchtime concert by Seattle R&B group Choklate. We’d seen the band at the Bumbershoot festival several years ago. My interest was also piqued as I recognized the keyboard player, Darius Willrich, from several other bands and jamfests that we’ve been around in the last decade.
As an added bonus, we were treated to some…eccentric…white-lady booty-shaking. You get a glimpse of her as this video opens, and then at the end, I get a more robust lens-full. I had the A720 and not the S3 IS, so the sound pickup is mono instead of stereo:
Niiiiiice.
Funny, but at least she seems to having a good time. At one point it looked like she was trying to imitate the lead singer!
LOL!
Sonya - yeah, I hope there’s no YouTube footage of me dancing.
I couldn’t actually get any sound, which contributed mightily to the eccentricity of booty-shaking lady!
Just wanted to say thanks for stopping by my blog and voicing your support. On a slightly less mature note, I am totally geeking out over the fact that an actual Resident of Seattle reads my blog! Seriously. Seattle is my dream city, second only to San Francisco. **sigh**
Alex - As I noted, the sound quality wasn’t terrific, so you didn’t miss much. Thanks for stopping! I think I got to your place via KathyR’s blog. Have you ever been to Seattle? Or SF?
I grew up in Petaluma, so yeah, SF is like my adjacent-hometown. But I’ve never been to Seattle, to my great dismay! I love the Pacific, and I hate the sunshine - not in an affected, gothy way, it just gives me a headache. I function much better on overcast, foggy, or rainy days. Maybe we’ll get stationed at Fort Lewis and the Army can pay for me to get closer to my dream!
Pooooooor ol’ white woman. At least she’s got energy!
Good drummer, fascinating dancer!
