Seattle to Redmond
So if you didn’t know, I headed up to Redmond, WA for a Microsoft conference for higher education. I was supposed to leave on Friday, but 30 minutes into the flight they captain informed us that we were turning around due to a mechanical failure. Turned out I got bumped to the next day, which stunk because it meant I lost the better part of a day in Seattle. But anyways….
Once I got into Seattle I headed to the hotel before checking out the Experience Music Project. A little while into it I realized I wasn’t supposed to be taking pictures. Opps……
The cone of guitars made me sad because I wish I had just one of them. The other guitar is one of the first Fender Strats. Pretty awesome. I also got to see Hendrix’s guitars. Well worth the trip.
The next day I hit up Pike Place Market. I decided to do it as part of a tour, and I recommend checking out Savor Seattle Tours. It seems kind of expensive but you really get to eat a ton of food and I tried things I would have never found otherwise.
After that it was time to head to the conference. The kick off was at Red Hook Ale House, which was pretty awesome.
More to come tomorrow from Microsoft….
