Yelle - Showbox

Do you like French electro-pop?  Do you like live shows full of energy, bounciness and performance pajamas?  Do you think two drummers with choreographed dance moves is better than one?


If you answered yes to any of these, go see Yelle when they come to town.  We did and our lives are immensely better off as a result.  Real talk.

Monsoon Restaurant - Capitol Hill

A recent lunch date took us to Monsoon Restaurant on Capital Hill.  After some difficulty in finding the place ("oh, the other side of street. i see now!"), it was time for "classic Saigon meets Northwest innovation".
The interior is spacious, well lit and modern.  While my recollections of the food are a bit fuzzy, consultation with Country Girl reveals that we both enjoyed it a great deal.
