Hi TL!

HAPPY MAY.

I hope you're all doing well.

April flew by for me, and I finally have some time to upload a bunch of food photos (and maybe some esports). Be prepared for a crapton of photos...


PART 1: BOSTON


Earlier in April I went to PAX East in Boston. This was my 2nd time going to PAX East. :D My first time I was on booth duty (T___T) for another company... This time, I was attending to check out some activations that my company did. YAY.

[image loading]

Here's how it went:
+ Show Spoiler +


FIRST, because it was snowing in boston (wtff), my flight was delayed 2 hours out of SFO.
So I ate burger and fries from Gott's roadside for breakfast... because I'm so healthy.

[image loading]

I used to work near a Gott's Roadside in SF, but I never ate there just because the line was so crazy. :|

[image loading]
Trying to make myself feel better by having a rum punch on the flight LOL


When I finally got to Boston around like 10pm, I met up with a friend to grab Korean food... We ended up going to like this k-bar lol. We ordered way too much food, but we got this big ol hotpot:

View from my hotel!

The quiet before the storm.


[image loading]
Like 45mins after the doors opened on Saturday.

[image loading]

[image loading]

More convention madness

[image loading]
Dash of esports



Since starting these travels, I've made it kind of a mini-tradition to stop by an aquarium. Here's some feathered friends from the New England Aquarium :D
[image loading]



ALSO LITERALLY THE DREAM:
[image loading]

  • LOBSTER ROLL
  • BEING IN BED
  • ESPORTS ON LAPTOP
  • RE-RUNS OF FIXER-UPPER
  • COMFY PAJAMAS


[image loading]
me and the cupcake from Pit People (which is a super fun game btw)

[image loading]
One of my shitty snaps from the flight back. :') It was like a 6.5hr flight.

That was basically my trip in a nutshell.


PART 2: SEATTLE


This was my 2nd Call of Duty World League trip and my 1st time in Seattle as an adult!
My parents took me to Seattle when I was a toddler, but I don't remember anything... So it was like a brand new experience anyway :D

[image loading]

+ Show Spoiler +


I was too lazy to go out after I landed, so I just ordered room service.

[image loading]

[image loading]

NY strip steak, chowder and bread.
>_> The chowder was too salty for me though.



[image loading]
The following morning I went to Storyville :D
DAMN THEIR SHOPS ARE SO CUTE.


[image loading]
My hotel was right near Pike Place :D



Through very thorough (aka 10 seconds of searching) yelp research, I found a place called Doughzone in the International district.
They had dumplings.
And a silly name.
So obviously I was down.

[image loading]
Spicy wontons :0

[image loading]
FOOD FOR MY FACE. (also this is the face of like 4 hrs of sleep yaaaaaaaaaay. coffee is a good replacement for sleep right?!)

[image loading]
yay gyro

[image loading]
I woke up at like 9am, got coffee, and then headed over to Pike Place Chowder.
There was a line already like 30mins before the store opened (at 11am). Thankfully, they were pretty quick and I only had to wait till like 11:30 to get my chowder.

IT WAS WORTH IT. omfg.

[image loading]
[image loading]
Sashimi and a roll from Japonnessa :D

[image loading]
Surprisingly good take out from a vietnamese place near my hotel.



[image loading]
I was told to come here. I AM GLAD I LISTENED.

[image loading]
I got the Hot Mess Bitch -- biscuits with grits, eggs, louisana hot link sausage, and jalapenos.
I ended up adding habenero sauce to it SINCE IT WAS NOT SPICY ENOUGH. aaaaaaaaaaahh

[image loading]
[image loading]
wild boar terrine and a MEAT SALAD from a butcher shop called Rain Shadow Meats :D


[image loading]
Tasty teas!


[image loading]
Coffee...This time, from Top Pot.

[image loading]
coffee...

[image loading]
And coffee...

[image loading]
And coffee... (nitro cold brew)

[image loading]
And blueberry ginger beer :D




OK, actual esports:

[image loading]

Before the broadcast

[image loading]
First main stage match of the day.
Since the two popular teams (OpTic and Faze) playing their matches off mainstage, most of the people were hovering in that area.

[image loading]

And that was Seattle!




I'll be heading out to LA for E3 and CWL Anaheim next month... CWL Anaheim is the weekend following E3, SO I GUESS IM IN SOCAL FOR A WEEK BYEEE.

If you're heading to E3 and wanna say hi, let me know :D

'TIL NEXT TIME
BYE TL <3

You hit a lot of the good eats in seattle, next time you're there would recommend Din Tai Fung (DTF) over doughzone. I know like half the wait staff at Japonnessa and their food is bomb!

Ohh I live kinda close (~30min drive) from a DTF, so I decided to go to Doughzone instead :D
