[MVP Summit 2011] - Touring with the local
Day 2 of Summit has been a blast as Rudi Grobler (friend of The Show) and I spent the day seeing a different side of Seattle and its surroundings as we were shepherded about by Rein Hillman, a local to these parts. Having a local with a car makes a huge difference—you eat and see things that no tour guide will ever tell you, like:
- The best teriyaki: Yummy Teriyaki
- The biggest geek shop: Fry’s

All in all, a lot of fun and food! 😊
In the evening, we headed down to Kent and the ShoWare Center to watch ice hockey—an insane sport where I don’t understand a thing that happened except goals. The rest was just too fast and complex for my brain. I wish I had half the skills and reflexes those guys have.

Time to hit the pillow—tomorrow is all starts, and I need my energy!
