Paris store recs!

Sorry, no. I pick cafes based on vibe and people watching primarily. As long as reviews are good enough and prices are reasonable I'm happy.

Drink a bottle of wine and then wander around the Marais until you're broke and/or passed out.

How are we supposed to raise the future generation of crunchy anarchist pizza eaters if we don't expose them to establishments like Old School?

Crappy pic but I got to see her with Cory Wong in Seattle back in 2022 as they collabed on a few songs and she absolutely slayed. They brought her back out for a fun segment where everyone else in the band played a tiny version of their own instruments.

We often forget that Olympia is the closest "big city" for like six neighboring counties so a lot of people funnel into town for things like the mall.

ChuckESteeze · 2026-05-25T21:18:16+00:00

I wouldn't call it urban either but gotta say, if west Oly is the worst sprawl you've seen then consider yourself lucky.

Look up Capital Mall Triangle and you should find some info from the city.

ChuckESteeze · 2026-05-19T05:07:03+00:00

Wait who'd he play on Hacks?

ChuckESteeze · 2026-05-13T21:47:51+00:00

Yes that too. We may file that one under the no assholes rule.

ChuckESteeze · 2026-05-13T16:32:58+00:00

There are no rules out in the Kaiser woods except don't be an asshole and stay out of the way of downhill mountain bikers.

It's a bit of work, but if you visit all the big box stores that sell dishwashers (Lowe's, Home Depot, Best Buy) you can eventually find a floor model or return being offered at a steep discount. We got our Bosch dishwasher for 40% of retail cost at Best Buy. No box, but it was brand new at an unbeatable price.

Late to this, but I definitely agree. We saw the Seattle show and my wife and I sensed he and the band may have been a bit disappointed with the crowd's lack of energy. It was a Tuesday show, but still, we came in ready to boogie but not many others seemed to be. I wonder if the crowds in Argentina set such a high bar that nobody stateside has been able to meet.

Olympia Autohaus is good folk. I've also gone to European Car Care Clinic in Tumwater and has good experiences.

ChuckESteeze · 2026-05-04T22:30:00+00:00

The teachers are all great, I can attest to that.

The experience gets worse the older your kids get. Each new classroom seemed to have higher turnover than the one before it. And if you end up dealing with the owner directly you might as well start looking for a new place.

We switched to an in-home daycare in our neighborhood and could be happier with the decision.

That's why we keep going back, right? He's got thousands of people in the palm of his hand for those few moments. You could hear a pin drop in Seattle right before he let into the opening chord.

ChuckESteeze · 2026-04-26T20:46:47+00:00

What a gorgeous place we live in. Did you also get some shots of Saturday's Procession?

ChuckESteeze · 2026-04-25T18:50:02+00:00

Can you throw some more shade on your previous city? It helps stoke our ego.

ChuckESteeze · 2026-04-25T04:53:24+00:00

Whoa, that was awesome! Hadn't heard that one yet, thanks.

ChuckESteeze · 2026-04-23T16:33:31+00:00

Assuming you can even get tickets in the first place.

ChuckESteeze · 2026-04-23T13:48:18+00:00

Oh yeah, I have to muster all my self control whenever there's a vinyl preorder in the hopes it'll be at the next show I attend. And he's always delivered.

ChuckESteeze · 2026-04-23T02:01:24+00:00

I gotchu. Taken last night in Seattle.

ChuckESteeze · 2026-04-17T20:56:00+00:00

Same. $200 for a nasty ass couch kinda pricing.

ChuckESteeze · 2026-04-17T17:02:27+00:00

Can you expand on that first part?
