Never Ditch Your Wing Man

My godparents kind of beat the crap out of your godparents. They got in town today and we are already owning this city. I gave them a tour of the Rep and educated them on how theatre actually is a business and not just gay people running around lisp-ing. Then we ate at the 5 Spot cafe and my uncle said, "I didn't come to Seattle to eat food inspired by Texas." Damn straight sir. One organic coffee and plate of scallops to go for this guy. Then we went to my apt and within seconds were planning out the rest of their weekend here. They don't wait for anything. Because we were worried about them crashing early (what with the time difference and traveling) they went back to their hotel to take a nap before we hit the town. (This was a brilliant plan on our part. Word up to a good re-rack.)

Once they woke up from their coma we drove to Kirkland with their passive aggressive GPS. Turn right. No my right. Ugh. Recalculating because you're an idiot. I've never been to see stand up comedy so we went to the Laugh Spot and saw three people perform. First guy=I don't care if you were on Last Comic Standing. You weren't good. The second guy was better. He was only mildly awkward and had a few one-liners. But when the headliner came out it was awesome. Completely worth the price of admission. He tore into every one and thing. I might need to stalk him online and make him my new obsession. He was HILARIOUS.

Nursing our buzz from the delicious Root Beer and Vanilla Vodka drinks (i know, right?) we decided to head back to the Seattle Center, ditch the car, and hit another bar. Remember when I said that my godparents ruled? Yeah, I meant it. We went to Chopsticks, the Dueling Piano Bar. Upon hearing the name of the bar, my ever so Indiana-native uncle said, "Chopsticks? That sounds Chinese." Hilarious. We requested songs by Meat Loaf and Bob Seger and watched a graphic PG 13 rated sign language version of Joy to the World. It was amazing. These two people are cracking me up and I can't wait to see what we do next. They are just so willing to do whatever comes our way. Must be the Andrews genes. Whenever someone from my mom's side of the family visits, I'm guaranteed a good time. 

My uncle also wanted to know: why Seattle is so liberal and why the pedestrians think that they can just walk into the street whenever they want.  Touche.
