Seattle Trip

This past weekend Beer And Rap made a little trip up to the northwest. No particular reason just wanted to get out of SF for a minute. We got into town and decided to holler at some lunch. I parked the car and the first thing I saw was this:

The sign was taped to the inside the window so this guy has been displaying it to whatever neighbor hates him as a permanent reminder that he doesn't care. The truck was still taking up two parking spaces which just makes it even more of a fuck you.

For lunch we hit up Piroshki On Broadway. I like piroshkies and have fucked with them in SF and even in Seattle down by market, but nothing I've ever had could fuck with this spot. They were so fucking good, the bread was the best part. I copped the corn beef hash, mushrooms, and cheese.

We rolled through Everyday Music which was a few doors down and copped some shit. They were moving so tapes were two for one. I grabbed a few of those, some records and bass cds.

That night we hit up the War Room for Sing Sing. Pretty Titty and 4Colorzack are the homies so shit's always fun. That and Dave Nada was playing so I wanted to fuck with it. My last interaction with dude was in Austin and it mostly consisted of me yelling at him about how he has to stop the rave shit but since he has good mexican hair I liked him.

Afterwards Pretty Titty took us to some late night taco spot called Taco Gringos. It's some spot run by two guys who worked in restaurants and decided to fuck with tacos. Obviously this place isn't authentic but they got some dope shit. I tried the lengua off the strength and shit was champ. I also copped their rabbit taco and the roasted pork. The rabbit taco wasn't as weird as I thought it would be, but the tongue easily beat out all the other joints.

tongue and roasted pork

yeah these are blurry, but you're lucky I even have photos considering how faded I was.

Saturday we mostly chilled around the city, ate some cured meat, and hit up some bars

Saw Eddie and his lady Roslyn.

Saturday night Pretty Titty told me about this taco bus so Sunday we decided it was the wisest move to see what the fuck was up. The spot was called Tacos El Asadero and the shit was fucking intense. You order inside the bus and you can even eat in there but we sat under the tent and put in some work. I didn't think Seattle could rep mexican food but they got some shit up there that goes hard.

1 carnitas sopito

2 Pollo Mulitas

and 1 pollo torta

Went by the Seattle Art Musuem, they had a roman art exhibit. I only got some photos of this Cai Guo-Qiang installation in the lobby. Dude hung ten Ford Tauruses from the ceiling.

UGK Review And Seattle

If you want to know what I think about the ugk album go here

in other news last week we rolled up to seattle to see Rapid Ric play the Sing Sing party with Fourcolorzack and Pretty Titty. Shit was fun, I sprayed some beer on some people who didn't like it but fuck them. The night before Sing Sing though we went by See Sound Lounge which got shut down early cause some dude got tossed through the window of the restaurant next door. Some guns got pulled but fortunately no one busted any shots.

but yeah here are some pictures from last weekend.

Rap Shows, Seattle, American Hardcore and other stuff

Friday night ended up at Polenge lounge to see Trackademiks perform. Took a minute for them to start so I ended up drinking brown bags around the corner with my friends. We got to meet some drunk as shit stripe shirt who proceeded to inform us that he was hung like a dimmer. I don't know what the benefit of being hung like a dimmer is but it must be great. After that I decided to head back in and watch rap. Turns out Tanya Morgan was performing also. I've been curious about those dudes but never peeped their shit. The set was dope so now I'm thinking I should cop. Track came on and did his thing as usual. Dude's studio burned down recently but he's been able to recover his harddrive and he's reupping the equipment which is good news. I ended up getting drunk and then leaving around one or so. End up down the street at Marz's spot drinking coronas and listening to his alter boys remixs. After that I just roamed the streets till I finally managed to find some pizza and stumble home around 4.

Saturday decided to seize the day by getting out of bed around 2pm. Was feeling like shit so me and stef walked up the hill to Hans for some grease. She got lucky and peaced out early the night before but my headache was in full force so I needed that shit. After that we hit up the lumiere to watch American Hardcore which was pretty dope. Could have been more informative but it's dope to hear stories of that scene back in the day. I kind of wanted to compare it to Dirty States Of America but that's a whole different deal focusing more on regional sounds. American Hardcore used a map to feature where a lot of bands were popping up. They seemed to be pretty loose with their timeline so there was quite a bit of back and forth.

Oh fucking the other week me and stef decided to get out of the city and roll up to Seattle. Originally the plan was to go to NYC/philly but that shit was goddamn expensive so we said fuck that eastcoast shit and went to Seattle instead. The first night we hit up the War Room where FourColorZack and Mr Supreme were djing. The next day we hit up the scifi museum which ended up being dope. They had all kind of shit to check out. One thing I found was that the people who make props for movies don't make shit to last. Like I saw the jet packs from minority report and those things looked fifty years old, they were beat the fuck up. They had Biff's hoverboard and that thing looked like they dug it out of a cave. That night we went to chop suey to catch the Quit your Dead End Job tour. Missed Prolyphics set but caught Glue before we decided to break out and head over to Sea Sound Lounge where Zack and Supreme were spinning. Shit was cool and fairly normal, just being out drinking and what not. Then I spotted this dude and was amazed as fuck. Fuck all those streetwear kids with their retarded accessories this fool is shitting on all of you latest overpriced repetitive patterns.

But fuck if I was amazed at that I was not prepared for the kid rocking the bulletproof vest! Apparently someone had tried to shoot him recently but he wasn't going to let them fuck up his good time and rolled out with the vest.

The next night we went back to the War Room where DVone was spinning with Zack. The night was called the hipster dance party so I didn't know what to expect. The tight pants were rolling thick though.

why?

the belt tuck is sweet

it was like a hipster trainwreck

oh and then there was this girl. She looks pretty average and was for the most part until she decided to request a song. I had a feeling it would be shitty so I asked Zack what her swift ass wanted. Turns out she asked for fucking Godsmack? Shit made no goddamn sense.
