OK, if you’re ever in Seattle, you have to go to the Experience Music Project. What a phenomenal place. I spent six hours there yesterday, and could easily spend another few days without exhausting everything. (I spent nearly three hours in the jazz sections, and nearly two hours in the hip-hop/rap sections alone.) It’s a true multimedia experience — they give you this little handheld/wearable computer, and as you walk around, it gives you audio clips on everything that you see. You can bookmark things, and then go to their website, type in your ticket number, and see all your bookmarks. (My bookmarks, however, didn’t get uploaded, which throws a monkey wrench in that whole concept. Bummer.) Trust me — dedicate a day to it, and enjoy. (And I can’t let the thanks to Kiehl go unsaid for the recommendation.)
