Decent Geek Eats for PAX 2010

La Creperie Voila – 707 Pike St, between 7th Ave & 8th Ave – Zero blocks for the Center

For around $4 to $7 you can have one of the tastiest breakfasts you can find near the convention center. I’m very particular to the sweet crepes, but the savories are also quite de-lish! They’re open till [...]

Day 7 Walkies: Golden Gardens Park

This park is located in the neighborhood of Ballard in Seattle, WA. This is another park I use to frequent with my family as a little girl. The park includes a nice stretch of sandy beach, a wetland at the north end, and of course all the typical park amenities for the perfect birthday picnic….

2009 Movie Reviews

Best Theater EVAR:  Cinebarre I usually don’t go to theaters to watch movies, but since Cinebarre opened in Mountlake Terrace (and much to Sig’s delight) we’ve seen quite a number of movies. I really love Cinebarre because it removes many of the factors which deter me from going to theaters: No Kids – yes, kids…
