FOC

On the weekend, a bunch of us went down to see the Sub Pop 20th anniversary concert at Merrymoor Park in Redmond Wa. It was a 2 day event but what we really wanted to see was Flight of the Conchords. I know that I have professed my love for them and that I think that they are great fun. I have proclaimed a liking for the tv show and even their cd.

Saturday was a scorcher in Seattle, epescially the hour wait at the usually quiet Huntington crossing. Anyways the jist of the story (because I dont want to write anything too long) is this. We hung out down by Lake Union, went for a little swim, ate a super crazy delish Thai place in the Freemont district and then off to the concery. I didnt know that Redmond was about 30 minutes away from Seattle. LAME! Long drive because the fast way bridge was shut down. So we get their find some sweet parking (ie. free) and head on in.

We saw the last two acts of the night. Iron and Wine was playing. Actually it was just the lead singer. He covered Such Great Heights. Very fun. Finally the whole reason for the trip came to stage. Flight of the Conchords was good even if it was a short 40 minute set. they were fun had good banter with the crowd and even dealt with the dude who through his white/used boxers on stage. glad we went!


On sunday we hung around the freemont disctict again...go there...and green lake...the lost lagoon of Seattle. It was a nice way to see Seattle actually...so there is more than downtown and key arena!
