I'll be on a plane one week from today heading to Frankfurt. Yay!
In the meantime, I am hustlin' to get the new focuspoint CD out the door. You're all invited to join us at The Central in Pioneer Square this Saturday night for the CD release party.
Also, I just posted all the new tracks for your listening pleasure to http://myspace.com/focuspointmusic
I dislocated my shoulder again playing Wii Saturday night.
A backhand swing playing tennis did me in and left me sidelined to watch Kenna (left), Claire (right), Beard and Courtney duel each other for the remainder of the evening at the "Wii and wine" party.
Yesterday I went to the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium for the first time in God-knows-how-long to join Chris, Allie (left) and Tristan (right) for their first family outing to the zoo.
A raven asked me, "How ya doin'?" At that point, I knew I had taken one too many painkillers.
Actual footage from the last time I went out with Matt and Wesley...
Ten days before my trip, this is NOT the headline I want to read:
Record-high euro makes European travel more expensive than ever
Today at 5:30 p.m., Starbucks is closing the doors at its 7,100 stores across America for a brief barista re-education. CEO Howard Schultz says it's part of his refocusing on the coffee customer experience. He wants baristas to share their passion for making espresso, or as he says, "to pull the perfect shot, steam milk to order and customize their favorite beverage."
To celebrate its "highly skilled baristas and the superior quality of its coffee," local coffee chain Caffe Vita is offering complimentary coffee and espresso drinks during Starbucks' closure, between 5:30 and 8:30 p.m. Now that's good marketing.
