Saturday, Part 2: The Capitol Hill Block Party
Saturday, Part 1: The book-signing party
After a yummy breakfast at Peso's, Amanda and I strolled out to north Lake Washington for a book-signing party at her boss' parents' home. (This house could be on Cribs.)
I didn't expect to know anyone there, but just after I cracked open my first beer, a couple familiar faces walked up the steps -- Gramps and Grams! You think it's a small world when you run into an old high school friend at a party? Try grandparents.
Grams modeled the two authors' new books...
And I strolled around taking pictures of the old...
And not so old...
Enhance your style.
I'm going to the Federal Way Salmon Bake today.
I checked the sponsor list and it looks something like this:
I shouldn't knock Jimmy. He's strategic with the hot dogs, hitting the budget demographic. According to the event price list, a salmon dinner is $20 while the hot dog dinner is $5.
I bet the profit margin on hot dogs is much higher, too. According to a Tacoma News Tribune article yesterday, wild salmon prices range from $5.99 a pound for whole sockeye to $14 per pound for king fillets. How much does a dozen hot dogs cost? $4?
Jimmy's not a businessman. He's a business, man.
UPDATE: Sources close to Jimmy say he is also hosting the silent auction and raffle. Because of his unprecedented participation, locals call the event "Jimmy's Salmon Bake," hinting Jimmy is synonymous with Federal Way.
