There's also a heavily Korean population in the Shoreline area just north of Seattle; parts of Aurora up there have more signs in Korean than in English. I'm the co-founder and organizer of the Seattle Squarepegs by the way, so I of course echo the comment that we're a cool bunch :D . We're well over 200 members at the moment, and have a rotating group of regulars that you'll run into at our monthly meeting/cocktail party.

The traffic and the gray can be real problems, but if you're at all bookish or intellectual, Seattle is a pretty good place to live.


Is that a real G36? :) Also, I didn't know you were with the square pegs. That's pretty cool.

Shoreline has only seen an explosion in the Korean population in the last few years; it was half white, half asian about ten years ago when I lived there. What part of Aurora are you talking about? Near Fred Meyer, or the Transit Center? I'm currently around the Bellevue area. Bellevue is a beautiful city at night.


Bellevue is beautiful. Check this out:

Yep, it's real, and that's me shooting it. That was in Colorado Springs back in 2004 at an event called Dragonman; one of my friends from gunsmithing school and I used to work a booth there, we'd trade our maintenance services to the booth owner in exchange for trigger time. Too bad I can't find the pictures of me shooting an MG42 from the shoulder, you can clearly see me leaning into the thing to control the recoil since it shoots at like 1200 rpm and 8mm Mauser does kick a bit... :D

I used to keep the Squarepegs link in my signature, but that made it just a little too easy for any would-be stalker types to find my real info. Not that I'm particularly shy or anything, but I was dealing with some trollish types a while back and didn't want to make it too easy for them.

Closer to the Fred Meyer I'm thinking. I'm on Bainbridge now, trying to think of exactly where it was that I'd really noticed the Korean signage. I used to get up that way a lot to go to the Top grocery store on 175th, that was my favorite place for the money since it was nicer than Safeway and cheaper than Larry's, back when we had Larry's.
