seattlejo, Little Bit, and I went to the Jimi Hendrix Museum Experience Music Project / Science Fiction Museum at Seattle Center.
The EMP was kinda - meh. Seemed really disorganized and unfocused.
The SFM was interesting, in the "Wow, so this is what a fan does when they get money!" way. I was startled with a tear when I saw the forest dome from "Silent Running". I giggled when I saw Twiki from "Buck Rodgers in the Spandex Century" (Just once I wanted to hear "bede bede beep Get Stuffed Buck") Seeing the Captain's chair from the original Star Trek series. Books that I went "Oh, I read THAT!" Things like that.
The Jim Henson exhibit was fun too. Though it would have been nicer if it was bigger.
All in all a nice day. That being said, there is something I'd like to say....
JUST WHAT THE HELL WERE THE DESIGNERS COMING UP WITH WHEN THEY DESIGNED THAT BUILDING?????
(Larger shot here)
I understand they wanted the building to reflect the 60's music scene, but did Frank Gehry really have to drop acid before designing something that looks more like a a R'lyeh brothel than anything else?? Seriously, a building should not look like it requires chemotherapy..........
