Ticket For Rev

Another garage find.  KING 5 TV had a show in the 80s known as REV which, as I remember, showed Seattle rock bands in local clubs.

I don't remember attending, perhaps I didn't make it to that show. I just can't remember.

Astor Park, the venue for this performance, was one of Seattle's premier clubs.  Located Downtown on 5th and Lenora, it has since been torn down.

Seahawks Fire Offensive Coordinator Grubb

Ryan Grubb, probably the highest profiled Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator, has been fired after only one year, sources say.  

The Seahawks hired Grubb after hiring head coach Mike Mcdonald. Grubb was the mastermind behind a Washington Huskie offense that took the team to the College Football Playoff National Championship Game, where it was beaten by Michigan. 

Macdonald said that he and Grubb did not share the same vision on how the team's offense should be run. .

Steve Miller Band 1977

Now going even farther in time, another find while cleaning the garage. My friends and I saw The Steve Miller Band at WSU while I was a student there.  

This was 1977 and the concert venue was then known as The Performing Arts Coliseum.  It's now the Beasley Coliseum. 

I remember Norton Buffalo was the opening act.

I would see the band again decades later with my wife and friends at the White River Amphitheatre in Auburn.

Seahawks Finish 2024-25 Season Against Rams

Go Hawks!

Seattle's Science Guy Awarded

The Seattle Times reports President Biden has awarded former Seattle media personality Bill Nye The Science Guy, the Presidential Medal Of Freedom, the highest award a civilian can win. Nye was awarded yesterday (Saturday, January 4th, 2025). 

Nye, an engineer at Boeing, began working at the KING 5 comedy show almost live.  He then hosted a PBS show "Science Guy" from 1993-1999, earning him national renown. 

David Bowie Concert--1983

Another great find while cleaning the garage.   One of the first big concerts I've attended as a Seattle resident.  David Bowie at the Tacoma Dome.  The venue was brand spanking new, and this was the first rock concert held there. 

It's hard to believe it was 41 years ago. I think the 16.00 admission price included a third-party ticket fee.

Bowie has since passed away 

Living In Suncrest Apartments

Upon cleaning our garage, yesterday, I stumbled across this picture of my apartment in Walla Walla, where I lived from 1985 to 1989.

I moved back to the Seattle area in 1989, where I have been ever since.

Seaside From Over The Years.

 Some random pictures from visits to Seaside, Oregon, our favorite getaway place.  Our family also vacationed there in my childhood.
