![]() ![]() Pike Place Market is at the north-ish end of downtown, and has a million vendors selling everything in the world lots of weird shops & things there. The Century Ballroom is the place for dancing. (Capitol hill is the gay district.)ĭowntown has Pioneer Square if you like bars, clubs & nightlife. Just to the north is Woodland Park Zoo, and to the west are the Chittenden Locks and the underwater viewing wall where you can see the salmon migrating in.Ī different bus goes to Capitol Hill and Volunteer Park, which has the Asian Art Museum and the huge brick tower which has great views from the top. A short bus ride north of that is the Fremont District with the Fremont Troll, the Lenin Statue, the Center of the Universe, the Fremont Bridge and all the funky breweries & shops in Fremont. Next to the Space Needle, there’s the Experience Music Project, and the Science Fiction Museum. You can Google most of this stuff to see if you’re interested. Hi, Robert! Let’s see – Kind of depends on what you’re interested in. The only thing I regret was that I didn’t go to the top of the Space Needle, which inspired Hanna Barbara to make The Jetsons. ![]() I also drove the pontoon bridge at the other end of the island once, before it was destroyed by a storm. I went to Seattle or Tacoma or both every weekend I wasn’t on duty, saw Star Wars at least fifty times, drove over the Tacoma Narrows bridge at least as many times, rode the ferries, saw and drove over the Deception Pass Bridge back and forth to Whidbey Island on Navy business. Mostly I was in Bremerton at the Naval Station, refitting the USS Coral Sea, an old aircraft carrier which has long since gone to the breakers. Does this mean you’re a denizen of Seatac? I haven’t been anywhere near Puget Sound since early 1979 and was never there until early 1978, but I’ll never forget the time I was there, and coincidentally, that was in the era where Boogie Nights is set. I was totally ignorant of the Rat City Rollergirls until I read your post. Or the late Joan Weston in the actual sport but to the part played by Heather Graham in Boogie Nights. My Roller Girl reference wasn’t a to roller derby queen like Raquel Welch in Kansas City Bomber I’m guessing you’re much too young to remember Joanie Weston and the Bay Bombers. He started out wearing the Classic Dilbert ensemble of white shirt and boring tie, goes on to a sort of Saturday Night Fever/Vegas Elvis shirt, and ends up in the same blah green shirt he was wearing in #1. ![]() He’s wearing a sleeveless Tee in that one, a Wife Beater or a Muscle Shirt. My best guess is that the surfboard Jean poofed for Neil has “NEIL” written on it in huge letters actually spilling over the edges of the board. Going back to #490 as it is, Jean wears four different outfits: genie costume, surfing bikini, roller girl outfit, and finally the same outfit she was wearing when she took Neil to the Surf Shop in I Dream of a B-Witch. I do think that Jean has some awareness that the Blue Djinn is doing things, but not that the Blue Djinn is murdering other genies to steal their magic. Genies need to sleep, maybe even Blue Djinns. BD could be possessing someone else or just be somewhere else-or asleep. I don’t think the Blue Djinn is even conscious of what Jean is doing now. If Big Blue is trying to get Jean pregnant, he’s not trying in #490. The only time Jean did was after he found out that Bell liked sex with Neil as Jean Nessman better than sex with Jean as Jean Nessman. Big Blue doesn’t seem to have a body now, even a genie body a slip could well mean complete annihilation. Would the Blue Djinn do any of this? The way CD has written the rules, maybe even the Blue Djinn can’t completely override human will, at least without risk. Look at the contrast between #490 and #488. Its one of the few unselfish things Jean has done in 490 comics. Why did Jean try to teach Neil to surf? To work that gut off of him. Eddie wouldn’t go from Cocoa Beach he wouldn’t be needed. The real-life Cocoa Beach is noted for its surfing, and even holds a surf camp every summer, but it’s not Oahu’s North Shore, it’s not Santa Cruz, it’s not Mavericks, it’s not Jeffries Bay, it’s not Australia’s Gold Coast. It’s not like Jean was having trouble finding women to screw before he moved into Neil’s apartment building. Remember from I Dream of Techicolor that the whole reason Jean moved to Florida from Cincinatti, Ohio was to be with his best friend Neil. In the eight panels of #490, Jean is nothing but nice to Neil. I’ll paste the result when I finish, which might be more than 65 minutes from now when midnight comes to San Jose, California. In an attempt to screw up less which might actually work, I plugged in my Corsair superfast gaming keyboard and started writing in Open Office Writer, which, BTW, is the best word processor to use if you want to post stuff at.
