  • notes from seattle.

    back from seattle. got food poisoning from some stupid mahi mahi tacos that i had for lunch at chinooks. never again.

    thursday, went to work but mid-day, i took a break to go with my pal to finalize her wedding dress order. she's getting a dress from a fab local designer, wai ching. some pics from the studio - beautiful, beautiful stuff:




    a version of the dress she'll be wearing:





    i was really impressed with the dress below on the left. the details are amazing. and the cool thing is that the designer, chrissy, hand-dies the silks:

     



    thursday evening, one of the highlights was checking out the renovated Seattle Art Museum, also known affectionately in Seattle as the SAM. i was so impressed with what they've done. some highlights --

    the outside of SAM -


    the lobby of SAM -




    some of the new modern art stuff -




    part of their special roman artifacts exhibit -




    the old grand entrance to SAM, now kinda abandoned -


    old hammering man outside -

    that's it for now. am waiting for a food delivery. finally am hungry again, which is a great sign!
