Seattle 06'

After the Dallas trip of 05' and the way we can tell a story, we had a much bigger group for the 06' trip. My brother Steve and his family had moved to the Seattle area in July of 06'. So we planned to hit the NW coast this year. A few people headed up there before us. Das went up a few days early to fish with Steve. Brandon Carr was living up there at the time, and Fife was up vacationing with his family. Early Sunday morning my group flew up. Me, Kurt, Ed Ziter, Coy Tripp and Clint (Kurts bro-in-law). Steve picked us up at the airport and we headed straight to the Tailgate party. A few guys Carr knew had a big set up. TV, BBQ and all. Clint, Kurt, Coy, Ed and myself.

The NFL on Fox was there broadcasting. So we got to see Jimmy Johnson, Bradshaw and Howie Long doing their thing.
Here Kurt is getting his tailgate on. He showed up in a New York Giants shirt. He was almost killed in the tailgate area. So we hit the pro shop and he got a Seahawks shirt.
Steve, Das and Me. We got in early again to watch some warm ups.
Here was Michael Strahan when he came out of tunnel.

Our seats sucked. We were about 7 rows from the top. We put Ed in charge of tickets. He not only got us over priced crappy ones, he almost lost them. 2 days before we left I called him to tell him to bring in the tickets to work. He couldn't find them. He tore his house apart. Then figured the must have gotten thrown out. He went out into the trash and sifted through it. He found them. Lucky him!
Here is Das happy.
A view of Seattle from our seats.
Best shirt ever on the girl who sat by us.
So here is a moment that will forever live in infamy. Das had been drinking a little. He had been tailgating all morning and hadn't eatin a thing. So at half time I took him down and we ate some fish and chips. Great! Good food. Went back to our seats and about 5 minutes into the 2nd half Das passed out, errrr I mean fell asleep in his seat. He was out cold for close to an hour with his head between his legs. This is when it went all so wrong. The 4th Qrt had just started. We were enjoying ourselves when Das's head lifted, he then proceeded to through up all over the 3 rows in front of us. Fish and Chips remixed right in the poor kids hair right in front of us. It was way worse that anything you are picturing. The crowd was pissed and wanted Das's head. We were kicked out. I was voted as the person who got to carry Das to the car. Good times.

After the game we headed north to some Indian Casino. We all got clobbered. Except Ed. He seemed to like the Indians and their Casino.

The next day we went and saw Jackass 2. We also saw the Seattle Mariners play the Oakland A's. We decided to mix in a Baseball game with our NFL trip. Camera man was lacking day 2. Then after the game we headed for Steve's. Ed, Steve and Clint went back and went to bed. Kurt, Das, Coy and I, proceeded to hit every little hole in the wall casino we could find. I mean we hit some shit holes. We played from 11:00 PM till about 5:00 AM.

We got home to Steve's just in time to wake everyone up to head to the airport.
Here is Das and Coy sleeping on way to airport.

Steve driving.

Das and Me waiting to board plane. We got back around 11:00 AM on Tuesday and still went into work after being up all night. But that's how we rolled while selling those cars. Another good trip in the books.

Seattle 06' Kurt

Totally forgot to load this picture. This shows just how tired gambling all night will make you. (Clint not pictured due to the fact he was riding in the bed of the pickup truck. From Olympia to Seattle.)
