Trip to Yakima

Friday we went to Yakima to see our friends' bands Trentalange and Head Like a Kite play at the Sports Center. No plant photos here, but there are some museum shots.

First we stopped at the Yakima Valley Museum, which has a small collection of neon signs and a large collection of horse-drawn carriages.



Coincidentally, I was wearing a T-shirt that depicts a horse-drawn carriage.





Kitty!





Old apple crate labels.



A Depression-era dress made of flour sacks.





People used to hunt mammoth around here.





A prehistoric cat.



A stuffed cougar.



A few of local businessman Joseph Klingele's collection of 3,000 pencils.



Then we went to a junk shop, where I spent $20 on old postcards. I did not buy this.



Or this.



I don't like most Chinese food, but I enjoy a seedy Chinese lounge.



This one's called the Lotus Room. "Cast Away" was playing. I started drinking liquor, after having already had beer and wine.



Trentalange was already playing when we get back to the Sports Center.



The rest of the night is sort of a blur.



Barb showed off her biceps.



Dave showed off his horns.



Bye-bye, Sports Center.
