WellDressedGandalf logo ideas (part one)

WellDressedGandalf is now my domain, but as of this posting it redirects to ShotgunProse and will for a while.

These are the first paintings for the logo for the new domain.

Utilizing SilveryWaterfall or AgWaterfall as well will be a thing.

When a Disney princess anoints you something, one should use it.

I stumbled into a cool show at the rec of a woman I met on the plane.  

The basic reason I chose this trip.

Red Light District Tour

So, I burned air miles, had a few gift cards, and some AirBnB credits. Along with other gifts to cover this super nearly free just over 24 hour trip to a state I had never been to.  I did not manage to see what the former guvn'r said she could see, maybe it was the fog.

It was October 15, 1981 and the American Tour 1981 second night of two in Seattle at the Kingdome.

Then November 28, 1997 and the Bridges to Babylon Tour and again at the Kingdome.

Now, August 14, 2019 for the No Filter Tour at the same site but now CenturyLink Field.

A Decade Is A Long Time

A decade is a long time, and yet really not.

Ten years ago, I want to say yesterday as the 13th is a date I remember, but it could be another day or so in the next week in mid-June, I sat down for a haircut at Supercuts and got my head mostly shaved pretty tight. 

My aunt was dying of cancer and at some point I decided I should not have cut the hair at all and started growing it out to maybe donate.

However, it appeared that donation was a thing that would be actually tricky and maybe expensive and with my grey hair it might not be wanted.

But, I grew it out, went through the winter of awful hair length and just let it go.

No, I am pretty sure no one I reasonably hang out with even know me with short hair, people I have known a long time and see intermittently do remember it.  Some people feel the need to comment on it as though it were any of their concern.

But, it has been a decade.  I sometimes joke, "I remember haircuts." 

A decade is a long time, ish.

An Absurd Amount Of Work For An Ephemera Project Update

I put an absurd amount of work into this.

Basically, I knew that there was a gap in my concerts Ephemera Project notes from a show I saw in 2005.  The whole point of this is to be thorough, but instead of just looking at the ticket stub that was in an album, like they all are, I dug around on the internet for a while, emailed the venue, looked at old concert calendars, and eventually got awfully sweaty digging around old boxes to find the album the ticket stub was in.

It was more difficult than it needed to be.

So, the concert and club shows list should include:

January 5, 2005
EMP - Seattle, WA
Cloud Nine Music

They are a band from Michigan, Ann Arbor to be exact.  Although I recall them mentioning Detroit, which effed up my google search.

But, I do not have the young hip hop artist name that opened.  That is probably a bridge too far nearly 15 years later.

How has this slipped past me?

For over 40 years, I have attended matches at this stadium down a couple hours south of Seattle.

I have seen the Reign FC, Thorns, Sounders, USMNT, WWC matches from 1997 at the Soccer Bowl through two remodels including world cup qualifiers, women's world cup double headers, and NWSL championship matches.

Somehow, I have not seen the home side rival play in their home park.

Somehow, I have not seen either rivalry in the away park. 

Somehow, I have seen three of the teams, but not the one, and never against each other.

Somehow, I have seen my two local clubs play in championship matches against other sides and lose in this stadium.

I need to rectify this on both counts.
