After a happy landing in Seattle, (and it’s always happy thing to get off a plane early AND immediately see public art at the gateway –these little fish and leaves scattered across through the floors make herding runaway luggage almost fun) we found the hotel and then Wasabi Bistro in Seattle’s Belltown.

There’s nothing like fresh Japanese food with lots of wasbi and jalepeno to clean out the nasty feeling that too many airplane snacks leave. The food is art too — I can just imagine this conversation, “Artist, oh, what is your medium?”

“Carrot,” he said. Would make a great Bugs Bunny episode, don’t you think?

Russ is here for this public art conference. He’s working a new sculpture blog about it, so hurry up, Russ and give me the address so I can post it for everyone (and see it too!)
