So I finally found that there is a Seattle Reggae scene. Found a flyer down at this Pan-African restaurant I went to with my Peace Corps recruiter in Seattle. They have a website which is cultureyard.com so I checked it out and saw that Antony B was coming to town! He's a pretty big artist in Jamaica so I bought a ticket not even knowing who I was going to go with. I was pretty excited because believe it or not throughout my whole two years in Jamaica, I never made it to a concert or stage show. I went to one for New Years Eve my first year but the show was rained out. So, I found another returned volunteer in Seattle who I knew somewhat in Jamaica and she agreed to go. I also invited a friend and his girlfriend who I bought tickets for online.

Well, about two hours before the show I got the email that the show had been canceled. Seems Anthony B had made it up to Portland, Oregon the night before but decided there wasn't enough attendance to come to Seattle. What a let down. I had been playing the reggae music cable channel all day on the tv and had all my Cooyah clothes on. I was ready to go! So anyways, quite a bummer. I don't see any other events anytime soon with names that I am really interested in so we'll see what happens. Over at cultureyard.com, they don't seem too happy with the cancellation either.
