I took my son out for Thai food on Capitol Hill* followed by an art show, "Light And Shadow" at Passable**, the art workspace-cum-gallery a couple of doors down from the Mercury.

How was the art? Clever and blinky; my strobe-sensitive Evil Sister might not have been able to handle it. Some of it I wouldn't have minded having in my house.

I also got to show my son a little bit of the neighborhood that's been like a second home to me for, well, ever since I moved to Seattle, especially this century. He had disparaging things to say about the CHOP as we crossed Cal Anderson Park. He'd latched onto the lone violent incident that happend at CHOP, and not the decades' worth of police brutality that led to the CHOP's creation in the first place. Tell me you have anxiety disorder without telling me you have anxiety disorder, my son.

He declined to see any of the rest of the Capitol Hill art walk, in which Passable was participating. That's just as well because I was distinctly underdressed for the weather. I'm so looking forward to the end of winter in a week.



*Bai Tong. Better than I remember, but then again I wasn't there with two dozen other people in latex melting down the kitchen.
**Yeah, the folks who run Passable are well aware that trans women may read more into that name than most other people. But it's a perfectly nice low-budget art space, and for that alone I give them a... pass.
