We all got to pick our one thing we wanted to do while in Seattle since there wasn't enough time for it all. Shawna wanted to visit the Experience the Music Project so to be fair we checked it out. It was actually really rad! It was way more than just music. There was a giant exhibit on how they designed the Avatar movie...
Then, my favorite part: The Horror Factory.
The stairwell leading down... down... DOWN.
Shawna found one of the costumes from the short film Michael Jackson did. Some of you might know it... Thriller. Ring a bell? No?! Ok then.
From some horror movie. These were all real props used in the movies. Pretty cool.
The chair used in American Psycho.
Shawna's best shot at the scream cam. It's this sound proof (thank God) booth that gives you the choice between the "Fight or Flight" scream. Depending on what you choose it shows you a series of graphic images to get you in the right mindset. It counts down... then takes your picture as you scream bloody murder. If you get a good picture they put it up on the stairwell wall in the "Hall of Screams."
Then I had a go.
And finally Mother gave it a whirl. She totally had the best one.
The tornado of guitars. I haven't a clue what made someone come to this conclusion but it was fairly nifty to see. Yeah, I rocked the 'nifty.'
From above so you can see it a little better.
Now that we have entered the music section, there of course was a giant tribute to Nirvana. Considering they started in Seattle and pretty much changed the way we listen to music today...
Remember the game 6 Degrees of Separation (Kevin Bacon being the most popular)? Well this is their version of 'how everyone is tied to Nirvana.'
Dave Grohl is pretty much one of my heroes. Especially in his early days when he was a super nerd.
His drumset. And the heavens opened up and sang "Ahhhhhhhh!!!!"
Shawna in her happy place at the DJ Diddles booth. Hehe...
By that time I was O.V.E.R how bad my feet hurt. :)
