First off, I'd try to find if there were any good concerts going on at the time. I'm a monster "grunge" fan (basically if they covered it in "Hype!", I'm a fan of it), so I'd try to see if anyone was playing at the moment. All my favorite artists usually don't leave the Seattle area anymore, so I keep seeing concerts scheduled in and around the city (Argh!).

But I'm sure there are some lesser-known folk still pounding out the chords all the time. I hope so, at least.

Of course, my favorites aren't in the area at the moment. Mark Lanegan is in Italy and soon touring with Queens of the Stone Age who I will see for a second time this summer, and Barrett MArtin is touring with Tuatara who I saw just last night
