Suicidal Tendencies Day

Sunday morning with a hangover. Finally got out of the house in the quest for breakfast a little before 13:00. I tried to get a hold of Glen while Cat was visiting but they were out doing other stuff. I wanted to kill time before the Suicidal Tendencies show at Showbox Sodo in the evening. So I ended up taking a walk.

I was downtown so I got a Turkey and Swiss Croissant at Specialties. Then I went to the Central library to look up the South Park Library. I wanted to make sure I knew where the library was this time. I tried to find the branch a couple months ago but did not have any luck.  
I found my way to the South Park Library around 17:00. 100_5523 100_5524 100_5525
Around the South Park neighborhood, there were several cool yards.100_5520 100_5521 100_5522 100_5526 100_5527 100_5528











I took that picture of the sunset  while I was waiting for a bus to take me back to the Showbox Sodo.
On the way back to the SoDo, I got caught by the 1st Avenue drawbridge. 100_5529 100_5530
I had not realized that in all my travels, I had not walked over the 1st Avenue bridge until today. I thought I had crossed all the major bridges in Seattle. Now that the 1st Avenue bridge has been walked over, what other bridge is there to cross? I guess there is the Mercer Island to Bellevue span plus the 520 but the 520 does not have pedestrian access.


Getting back to the Showbox SoDo, I bought my ticket for the show. Then I went over to Hooverville to drink before the doors opened. 100_5502
Hanging out at Hooverville made me think of the last time I was here. One of the best concerts I have ever attended started at Hooverville. Pretty sure the company made that concert.
Thinking about the company I had the last time made this evening tense. I can not think of a better word than tense for how thinking about the last time made me feel.
Good thing I was in a mosh pit later in the evening. That allowed me to get some aggravation out about my life. Not enough. I am not into hurting other people and that is a mosh pit to me. I want to hurt PEOPLE. When I finally allowed myself to relax and push back, I did start to feel better.
One guy in front of me got violent. He choked one guy and started hitting some other guy. Staff came in from behind me and started moving people. I decided to leave at that point. 20 minutes into Suicidal Tendencies but 3 hours inside the pit. I got two new shirts to replace my favorite shirt so all in all an okay concert.
On my way back to downtown I caught bus route 18. The nice woman driver who took me to the Central Saloon the night before picked me up. Got to downtown and rode a different bus up the hill.
I finished my night at the Summit Public House. Talked to some people I had not seen in a while.
All in all, I had a good day even if I was tired and sore.
