Seattle, home of the Tractor


Day 15 Seattle WA - Tractor Tavern
Located in the former fishing village known as Ballard... The Tractor is nestled in an ultra hip zone of the city, just on the verge of being pummeled into gentrification. To someone who is into art or old guitars or vintage clothing, or home cooked food this is a must visit part of the western hemisphere. As I published in Twitter, I was able to purchase a neat coat and hat combo within about 43 seconds of arriving here. I am grateful for adjacent shops in the neighborhood, "Twenty 20 clothing" and the bar/eatery "Hattie's Hat" for being there for our perusal any time we play here and have to wait for the club to open.
The Seattle show is pretty rockin' for a US date. KEXP exposure has definitely helped here. And tonight we learned something to apply to the rest of the US: reduce merchandise pricing. This is a new market for us, and price point is much less important than sales.
