I just got back from kayaking on Lake Union. Days like this make me very happy that I live in Seattle. Cruising around the lake with boats rolling by, watching sea planes land and take off, and checking out all the cool houseboats. It's also neat to get right up next to the million dollar yachts. And now it's 9:00 pm and the sun is just setting. Makes the other nine months worth it.

Friday night I went to see Arrested Development at the Showbox. This was incredible. They called it a reunion tour even though they've been back together a few years and released an albumn overseas. But it was aptly named because the majority of the songs they played were from their first albumn. The best is they had updated all the music. The songs were still the same, but they added much more vocal harmony. This is good. If you think about it Arrested Development has a DJ, a drummer, a basist and four vocalists. I've been listening to their albumn since the show and I notice that Speech (the primary vocalist) does almost all of the vocals with just a little added from the others. In the show he was still the primary vocalist, but the others had much more pronounced roles. Overall their energy was fabulous, running around stage, dancing up a storm. I could see that they are a band that really puts their all into performing, and I'd go see them again in a heart beat. Plus, how can you not like a group with a 71 year old guy who has white dreads?
