Thursday started off with a day game between the Cubs and Mariners, the last in the series. Again, excellent seats. We sat next to some friendly people, and on one side two of them were from Australia. One of them was an exchange student, and the other was visiting. The kid was knowledgeable about sports generally, and his favorite player was Ichiro Suzuki of the Mariners.
The game went on for 13 innings, with the Cubs finally earning the win 3-2. Below is a video of the final pitch of the final out in the game.
After the game we returned to David’s house and spent some time with his dog, Mia.

In the evening we went to The Comet Tavern in the Capital Hill area and saw some live music. The three bands we saw were All Time High, Diminished Men and Pink Snowflakes.

The Comet Tavern on Pike Street. Those are dollar bills and other scraps of paper stuck to the ceiling. How do they do that?
Below are videos of All Time High and Diminished Men.
The Comet had an old photo booth that took black and white shots in a sort of back room. This reminded me of the Andy Warhol exhibit we saw the day before because Warhol used the same type of machine to take portraits of himself and others. So I took some shots and I encouraged David to do the same.
Photo booth photos from The Comet. Quality pictures in five minutes.
After the show we went across the street and enjoyed some brick oven pizza, and then we headed home. It was another great day in the Emerald City.
We ate three brick oven pizzas including a margarita and a pepperoni.
