Jeff and the drag queen who wouldn't give him shade.

Pike Place

After the tour, Jeff texted me to tell me he was on a long break and he was on his way up to meet me. I met him and one of his judge friends at Pike Place, where we wandered looking at the shops, the chewing gum wall, and the first ever Starbuck's. Jeff purchased a rubber chicken to replace one that was lost a few years back. It's a given that he will use the darned thing to annoy me.

We also encountered a drag queen booth with a sign that said "prepare to be shaded". Jeff gamely went in expecting shade to be thrown at him, but the drag queen told him she doesn't do that. Disappointed, we walked away with a photo op and a pair of sunglasses (shades).
