Harvard Exit, Seattle, Pike Place, Organetta, Movies, recent adventures...


So.......here are a few more shots at home, and of some more treasures;
 my Wiinblad cups, along with links to theater's and movie trailers.

The new addition, an organetta by Hohner

This is from Germany, and I had to get an adapter for the plug. 
The sweetest little organ...for my instrument collection.
I'll post a link to a video soon...



Meanwhile I've been to Seattle a lot lately to movies, @ The Harvard Exit, 2 Screens. Built in 1925. Operated by Landmark since 1979. The Harvard Exit Theatre offers Seattle's finest in independent film and foreign language cinema in a cozy atmosphere evocative of the 1920s. Beautiful, classic 1925 building with grand piano and couches in the lobby...(Annually, the Harvard Exit is host to the Seattle International Film Festival and the Lesbian and Gay Film Festival.)
 Saw The Reader, a haunting movie.

Also, The Secret Life of Bees,  (at the University District), Metro Cinema's and @ Harvard Exit,  Slum Dog Millionaire. The Golden Globe winner for best picture and many other awards. 
Slum Dog is magnificent! Filmed In Mumbai.
It's a 'Bollywoodies Hollywoodish' film, east meets west in the best way..


And three times lately been to The Deluxe Bar and Grill right next door to the Harvard Exit at Broadway and Roy. Wednesdays is hamburger night, Any burger is 4.99. I had blue cheese with grilled onions. Tuesday, I think is fish tacos. Wednesdays it's packed! It's a great place to dine, watch people, and experience Seattle.
Oh the Pear & Gorgonzola Ravioli 13.95, is a fine dish. Margarita's are hand made, not from a mix, and with a 4.99 burger, dinner for two is cheap enough to take in a movie easy.

Across from the Harvard Exit is a nice Japanese Art Gallery Kobo where I am often inspired to spend hours, and dollars being inspired to do art work. ... features Northwest and Japanese artisan crafts in such media as clay, metal, wood, bamboo and paper. The Capitol Hill shop has been around since 1995; a second store recently opened in the International District. In the same plaza find a travel shop, (encouraging already fermenting ideas of a trip to Morocco), a coffee house, a Greek cafe and a theosophical bookstore. (Bamboo garden outside this bookstore is of timber bamboo, just amazing to be in the midst of.

Had Mexican Chocolate Cheesecake at The Market , Pike Place.. I can't 'STOP' thinking about this cheesecake with a 'kick', wow!
(Sorry, I left no evidence to photograph! :~)

I hope I've made up for no photos!
