I was at your event in Seattle tonight - front row. Thank you so much for being here - loved how you handled your overly talkative host. Seattle loves you as you may have guessed!

Morning, Lynell. I am even a darker shade of pea green envy. This is the second time she's been in either Seattle or Portland that I've had a conflict with scheduling.
I get so fricken nostalgic for Seattle. I was conceived there, but born in Boston, and I lived in Seattle from 2 months to probably a little less than a month short of 4, and the year I was 7, and a couple of months into 8. Been back sporadically ever sense, the last time in '15. I want to drive out one of these years.
One of the things that strikes me is the character of my old neighborhood--and much of the rest of Seattle remains the same, despite the fact that houses have been shoehorned into places that were parts of peoples' yards before the millennium. Of course, the traffic is awful, and getting to the ferry to San Juan can be miserable. The last time I went, in '15, I made it onto the ferry (after parking my car because I didn't tihkn I could get it on, and I didn't need it there) with maybe a minute to spare.
I can understand that. I haven't spent a lot of time in Seattle, but for the little bit that I have (for training classes and for meeting friends at the airport--we had to plan for an unknown arrival time because our friends from Portugal were flying on buddy passes and had two days to goof around) I have loved it. I have a similar desire; I'd love to drive out to see our friends in New Hampshire, then come back by way of a different route.
Different route back is definitely part of the idea. I have friends all the way down the west coast to LA, and a friend in Arizona, and I'm dying to see more of Utah... much of which I haven't seen since those long x-country trips when I was a little kid, and then when I was in college.
This wasnтАЩt a book tour. It was the Cascade PBS Ideas Festival highlighting various people who represent different ideas or perspectives who discussed challenging issues and sought to broaden the publicтАЩs understanding of them and possibly suggest possible solutions. This took place in downtown Seattle at the Amazon meeting center. They filmed and taped the sessions for live podcasts.

Front row? Pea green with envy, Nicki!
I bought a VIP ticket for that purpose.

Same here
Yikes, Ally. That is so sad! Third time will be a charm? I hope so.
Ally, I was unable to attend when she was in Houston. Hope that she comes back.
Me too!!
Nicki, what a great experience! IтАЩm so happy for you.
Thank you. I jumped at the chance to see her in person ! So did a lot of other people - other place was packed!
How freaking cool!!! For the second time I've known of, the Professor has been in Seattle when I have an unavoidable conflict!

Born in Seattle-ish (Bellevue) lived there until 3 and then off to the coast of California where IтАЩve been ever since. Seattle is awesome!

We felt the same way
Nicki, how did you find her book tour information?
This wasnтАЩt a book tour.

Nicki, How did you find out about the tickets?
Actually, I saw it on Facebook and clicked to get a ticket immediately.
