Seattle Whirlwind

So after my nap I was thinking of taking it easy today in Seattle.  Well I didn't.  I ended up walking around a good bit of the city, "bumped" into the Space Needle, rode the monorail and am now enjoying some really cool live music at Triple Door.  Happened upon this place on Urban Spoon(not sure why I separated it into two words) and it turns out it's a Zagat rated place and features what I'm sure will be great Asian food.

To be honest, and maybe it's because I was tired, I wasn't totally impressed with the market and the Space Needle.  The folks at the Needle weren't very welcoming and it was uberly, don't worry, it's a word, crowded.  And the weather was rough so I couldn't see much. However I would much rather be at the top of the Astoria Column than the Needle.  But that's just me.  Anyway, I'm about to enjoy this:
