			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Matt and I arrived at the airport around 2pm, cleared security, and paid a visit to Granddaddy&#8217;s Bar, a tradition that makes every flight more tolerable. We giggled at Skymall for three hours, and arrived at Sea-Tac around 6pm. Steve and Colleen were waiting to sweep us away to their apartment overlooking downtown Seattle.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1078/1331837289_ae04182f20.jpg?v=1189094196" border="1" height="375" width="500" /><br />
<em>seaplanes fly very close to their rooftop.</em>
</p>
<p align="left">We had cocktails on the roof of their building, then headed to <a href="http://www.mamas.com/" target="_blank">Mama&#8217;s Mexican Kitchen</a> for dinner. We dined in the Elvis room in back.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1102/1331882955_61c4a1dff1.jpg?v=1189096129" border="1" height="375" width="500" /></p>
<p align="left">We went to a bar called <a href="http://www.shortydog.com/" target="_blank">Shorty&#8217;s</a> for drinks and pinball, then hung out in the back room for a while because it had the awesomest bar stools I&#8217;d ever seen. We couldn&#8217;t even sit in them because they were full, but even looking at them was way too exciting. Our bar will definitely have pimp chairs such as those.</p>
<p align="left">We moved along to the NiteLite, a place that was disturbingly empty for a bar around midnight, but they had cheap drinks and a standalone naked ladies game I couldn&#8217;t figure out how to play. We had a round of shots and Long Islands, and when Steve went back for another round, he was denied. The old lady behind the bar told him there was a limit of one per person (even though they&#8217;d given him another, just not an entire round). He told me that I should try to get others at the bar, but we were denied again. Incensed that we&#8217;d been cut off (and not even from drinking, just from one beverage in particular), we decided to go elsewhere.</p>
<p align="left">Elsewhere was the Whisky Bar, mostly because we liked the name. We did not indulge, thankfully (Matt and I had water), and we had some discussion about the fact they were playing Bon Jovi&#8217;s <em>Runaway</em>, although we don&#8217;t remember what we were debating, exactly.</p>
<p align="left">We decided to take the bus home, except it never really worked out that way. We definitely stood at the bus stop for a while, then started walking. Eventually, Matt and Colleen became trapped in a cabinet we found outside a restaurant.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1438/1331906367_448b687cac.jpg?v=1189098502" border="1" height="375" width="500" /></p>
<p align="left">After that, we ran though sprinklers outside a building, and all ended up with very wet pants. Which is not terribly comfortable when you still have several blocks to walk, dudes. Remember that.</p>
