As many of you know, my family and I are currently vacationing in Seattle, and while it's a few weeks too late, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to tour Qwest field. My son and daughter and myself took the tour on Friday and it was awesome. I've been to a game in the old Kingdome but have never been inside Qwest before, and after this dream season, I just felt that I had to experiece the hallowed grounds.
The tour took us from the highest point in the stadium, to the famed 12th Man Flagpole, to the Press Box, luxury suite, visitor's locker room, post-game press conference room and then down to the field itself.
I've posted a full slate of pictures of the expedition, and my family is now the proud owners of $140 worth of new Seahawks trinkets! (you do not have to register to view the pix on this link)
So I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them. And you get to see for yourself that I've been telling the truth all along, I'm a fat old dorky white guy from New York!
Awesome! Glad ya made the trip.

Hey You. I'd better hear from you. You have the number, right?

J/K alba... I was confident that you knew by now there is no malice in my ribbing.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I dodn't say anything about your likeness to Uncle Fester .
Posted by Bluefoot
I know...I can take it.
ReplyDeleteI'm just glad my hair went grey so I could stop hearing about the Donny Osmond reference!

alba seems like you had a great time.I've been to the stadium a few times but never took the tour seems really cool. I took the tour of Safeco fiel when it first opened and that was cool.
ReplyDeleteJust bougth two jerseys for me and my brother so i know what u mean. Didn't get Alexander cause he's shakey. I got the Jackson jersey, my brother got Trufant.
I really like D-Jack now. He is definatley one of the best WR in the league or atleast in my book. I would take him over S. Moss any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
I'm gonna stop now.

alba,
ReplyDeleteyou're definitely not fat. Maybe a little chubs, but I don't see anybody else here showing off their likenesses on the internet, so props.
Posted by Uff
For good reason! I down want to break my digital camera OR crash the blog.
ReplyDeletePosted by Bluefoot
THIS would be me...if you prefer the mystery of not knowing what some of us look like...then dont click it...but yeh
ReplyDeleteKeep in mind, this was a year and a half ago...my cam has been broken for awhile, so i have no new ones...besides, my hair is long now (rocker way, not girly way...)...and sorry its from the side...

About how I pictured you ADP...although I like the OTHER pictures you've sent much better!!!
ReplyDeleteBlue - keep pushing the Fester thing, it never stops getting funnier!!! Actually, he's the brainchild behind the Motel 6 tag line...."we'll leave the light on for you!"

ReplyDeletePosted by alba

Oh my God! I had no idea adp was actually Vanilla Ice!
ReplyDeletePosted by Uff

Didn't mean to call into question your street cred, just thought there was a definite physical resemblance. And hey, Robert Van Winkle was very handsome in an early-90s, lines-in-the-hair sort of way. So it was really a secretly complimentary harmless joke.
ReplyDeletePosted by Uff
I ran by this today completely randomly -- you can compare and contrast it with adp's link above.
ReplyDeletePosted by Uff
LOL
ReplyDelete"A lot of people don't remember anything since Ice Ice Baby, but I've got 3 records out since then and they're all successes -- but not commercially. "
ROFFL!
Posted by Bluefoot
hahaha thats good stuff!
ReplyDeletei know you're kidding Uff...just when anything is brought up about 'street cred', i get very passionate and ramble more then ever!
for the record, if my name was Robert Van Winkle, id kill myself faster then his career dove...and thats asdfhdjhjfTRACYWHITEsajdkfja fast!
go ninja go ninja go!...now im in the modd to watch the Ninja Turtles...

Washington, D.C.: What do you think of Eminem?
ReplyDeleteVanilla Ice: I'm glad there's another white guy out there having success because it's all been on my shoulders for so long.

Shared and evening of beers and steaks with Alba...and his better half. While the steak was good, Alba clearly over chicked. Like that suprises any of us.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is...every good feeling you've ever had about alba is justified. Good blogger, but more important, good people.
Posted by bokonon
Thanks Boke...same to you and your better half too!
ReplyDeleteOne question though, what does "Alba clearly over chicked" mean? Are you saying that that I "married up", i.e. my wife is much better than I deserve? If so, you're right on!
