Towards what? Having an ounce of intellectual curiosity and a desire to see the world? Guilty as charged.

What's unfortunate is that the day will come when he will realize his stance was stupid and then he will regret all the years he could have been seeing the world instead of sticking to his small little insular world.

Says the guy who says that all major cities are the same?

i dont see why it hurts your feelings that Seattle isnt on my list of places to go

I could care less about the specific city you are talking about (you're NYC comments were even more outrageous). I just think it's weird that a young person wouldn't go out of their way to see far flung parts of the country, particularly if they happened to overlap with LSU football. I can barely think of anything better than that combo.

as far as being biased, you live in the area. Yet your "travel guide" really doesnt even paint the city in the best picture. I guess you're just being honest, but it doesn't make me want to go there and see another big city.

Just seems really lazy on your part if you think Seattle is generically comparable to random other cities. In any event, I would put together a guide for traveling LSU fans in any city I happened to live in. I haven't lived here very long and don't have plans to be here forever. Trust me, I'm no Seattle homer.

Is there any TD meetup planned?

what can i say, im not a big sight seer. Monuments, historic landmarks, etc....gets old.

like vacations that are either a)quiet and secluded or b)active and fun

If UW was worth a damn, it would absolutely be worth it to me. But they are one of the worst teams, if not the worst, in any BCS conference.

But like I said, Seattle isnt alluring enough to me to make the trip to see a bad football game

maybe it is lazy, because ive only talked to friend about it and read your guide.

i came to teh conclusion:

-planes landing on lakes
-moutains
-some type of market
-food
-bars
-lame people
-water tour/fishing
-space needle

Hey, neighbor! I hear we're all getting together at Sherms at the Preston/Fall City exit!

Is there a Sherm's there too? THere's one in my neighborhood!

Here's how easy this is to do for your (and my) beloved NOLA:

without having been to Seattle, i can still comfortably say New Orleans is much more interesting place to visit than Seattle.


then again i can see how it would fall into just another big city category. Not every place is for everyone.

Who wants to travel two time zones to watch a game that will be over before halftime?

I completely understand why people are backing out.

Personally, I think it's a little over the top, but to each their own.
