Last night Lindsey and I went to see Ray LaMontagne at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle. We haven’t been listening to his music too long, but a good friend at work had some extra tickets and we were the lucky recipients. His music is definitely pretty interesting. He has a very raspy voice that reminds many people of Van Morrison. His songs tend to be a little bit dark, and melancholy at times, but the intensity of his performance makes for a great show.
Ray is an interesting character to watch on stage. During the first few songs he wouldn’t say anything to the crowd, which is typical of him. After a few songs he finally started talking to the audience in a very quite and reserved voice.
I think Lindsey and baby enjoyed the show too, though Lindsey got pretty hungry about half-way through the concert. I guess next time I’ll have to bring along some snacks 😉

On Saturday evening Lindsey and I celebrated our 8th dating anniversary. We’ve always celebrated our dating anniversaries, even during those couple years in college when we weren’t together. So on Saturday evening we had dinner at the Space Needle and then saw Sweet Charity, starring Molly Ringwald, at the Paramount Theatre.
Of course we had to dress up a little bit:

The beautiful Mrs. King.

It was a little bit misty in Seattle on Saturday, making for a magical view.

Us together on the observation deck.
