Seattle Music Scene

After a 50 miles bike ride around lake Washington on the Burke Gilman trail I somehow made it to my first country-rock concert.

Neumos is a fantastic venue with an astonishing sound system. Brent Amaker and the Rodeo were in town. Awesome music, great show! After the show they even met with the crowd.

(I have not yet figured out how to post videos on this blog but you can find BA on youtube)

Neumos. The concert is about to start

First bike trip to West Seattle

My bike gear finally arrived.

Yesterday the weather was perfect for an evening bike ride, so we went from Capitol Hill through Downtown and SODO to West Seattle. Via Lincoln Park and Alki Beach back home and then had a great dinner at Julian's. To be repeated soon!

Thanks to quaeldich.de for the great bike wear
