radiatorhums Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 After a long ass drive from Denver, I'm finally here for good. Anyone else going to the Manchester Orchestra/Kevin Devine/Balance & Composure show next week? Congrats! I can't imagine how long of a drive that was (my move from MT seemingly took forever). That show is at a pretty rad venue, you should have a good time. It's also a really easy bus ride from Wallingford, which is always nice.

Guest Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I've been wondering why there was no NW thread yet (though I wasn't very proactive and didn't make one). I couldn't imagine wanting to live anywhere else in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daegor Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Victoria, BC, Canada here, so technically I'm in. I do go to Seattle a lot, usually I'll take the Clipper since it's Downtown>Downtown. aflycon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aflycon Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Victoria, BC, Canada here, so technically I'm in. I do go to Seattle a lot, usually I'll take the Clipper since it's Downtown>Downtown. How much does that cost and how long is the ride? I remember taking a ferry from Port Angeles WA to Victoria BC when I was younger and it was a drag. Victoria, however, was a lot of fun. I brought home some Canadian coins 'cause when I was ten years old I thought that was the coolest shit in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they have a bar on board with decent prices. And the cheapest Duty Free I've encountered (1.75 Litres of Rum for $11? yes please!). Oh, and depending on when you were 10, we have more coins now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and depending on when you were 10, we have more coins now I've taken the train up to Vancouver a few times and it seems about the same price (and maybe a little longer trip). It doesn't have a bar, but you can get drinks on it. Definitely way better than driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else going to the Manchester Orchestra/Kevin Devine/Balance & Composure show next week? I freaking wish. My buddy Seth is going and didn't even know who B&C was... good thing I showed him some stuff this week It's been awhile since I've been to a Seattle show--I usually will be down there for anything pop-punkish at El Corazon just to let off some rage-steam.

Apparently people in Florida have good things to say about it. it's not too bad. haha It's not the greatest place in the world, but I don't mind it. It would be awesome if there was a record store though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parkinglot Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I'm going to be in Seattle from the 14th-17th, and Portland from the 17th-19th. I'm going to the twiabp/mewithoutYou show at Neumos in Seattle on the 16th, and The Menzingers show in Portland, on the 18th I think.
