Made it to Seattle! I’m only here for a quick little trip before heading back to Portland for a wedding this weekend, so I’m apparently spending more time on I-5 than at home this week lol.

For now, I’m going to enjoy being out of town for a minute, eat something good, and pretend I don’t have that drive back waiting for me.

But first, a giveaway! Enter to win tickets to Jane B. by Agnès V. at Whitsell Auditorium this Sunday, Sept. 13th, part of Director Fits’ Fashion and Film series.

Anyways, let’s see what Portland is up to today!
