Seattle - 4/4/01

See Vancouver "Before the gig". Back in the same hotel which is a great place to stay (the Claremont). I went to Sit and Spin for a quiet moment. At the gig, Jesse LeDoux made a great poster for the show.

The dressing room was worthy of a true 80's band.

There was a rumour that Eddie Tews said it was the best yet. This is important because he has been to all of them. We missed Carissa sending up balloons asking for "I got the Hots". We did Astronomy Domine and it was good. Devil Mask was too. I tried to sing a bit to fill in for Kim. Then at the end Peter Buck came onstage and played Bells of Rhymney and Queen of Eyes and it was the most surging, jangly, heavy moment on the tour so far. Or so it seemed.

Big party at the Crocodile. Kimberley left early because of his voice. We stayed. I remember Morris saying "I shall be disappointed if I do not have a hangover tomorrow" but I do not remember Peter Buck standing on one leg.

Michèle took some pictures.
