…and what a trip it was….Every once in a while it’s nice to get out of town to revitalize the spirit and, in the case of Vrex, recharge some musical inspiration batteries. With that in mind, Jake and I took Vrex on the road this past weekend to the Emerald city of Seattle. Highlights? you got it….

First, we started off our day of awesomeness by eating what is probably the best breakfast ever at Beth’s Cafe on Aurora Ave. I can’t even begin to describe how amazing the hashbrowns were…..

…..moving on to some music related activities…..After breakfast we headed to London Bridge Studios where former Vicarious Rex recording artist Cody Beebe is recording his new album. The studio first surged to fame after recording Pearl Jam’s “Ten” and has housed many prominent bands such as Alice in Chains, Blind Melon, Soundgarden, Nickelback and 3 Doors Down. Cody and Owner/Producer Jonathan Plum were gracious enough to let us sneak a peak at the studio and sit in on some drum editing and bass overdubs. The experience was amazing and I was floating on cloud nine afterward…..in an effort to return to reality we took a break from music activities for a few hours to drive around in search of parking spaces and then battle it out for mini-golf supremacy at the Interbay Golf Center…..

…..The nightcap kicked off with a trip to the Tractor Tavern in Ballard to see the final show on Miles Kurosky’s nationwide tour. Miles was great and the show couldn’t have been more fun (unless there were horns maybe). Having limited experience with Miles’ music, I was blown away by the performance and became an instant fan. If you haven’t heard him, or his former indie rock band Beulah, you definitely need to check out some of the tunes.

Welp, those are the highlights, but not the whole story so if you want to know more about our trip, like where to find the best pizzeria next to a boat company, who is the supreme chancellor of mini-golf or what happens when you pass das boot without taking a drink, just send us an email.

Rock and/or Roar!
