Seattle Storm victory rally
Life, Photography, Sports October 15th, 2004 |
As I walked out of the building for lunch today, I heard some sort of big ruckus going on down towards Westlake Center. Being fond of ruckuses (ruckusi?) in general, I made a quick run back to the apartment to grab my camera, and then went back towards Westlake.
Turns out that there was a rally going on celebrating the Seattle Storm’s recent WNBA championship win.
Now, I’m no big fan of sports in general, but it was fun to wander around the rally for a while. Local cover band The Hit Explosion was playing a surprisingly good set of 70’s disco and funk (amusingly, I think they played just about the entire Muppets From Space soundtrack), so the background music was quite bearable, and it was a fairly welcome break from the usual day-to-day routine.
Some photos from the day are in this flickr photoset, as usual.
“Dirty Epic” by Underworld from the album Dubnobasswithmyheadman (1994, 9:55).
