In late 1999, I finished grad school and planned a second trip to the Pacific Northwest, hoping to move there. On 6 October I headed west via train. I visited friends and my sister and wound my way to Bellingham. I job-hunted for a few days and then headed north to the Canadian Rockies and Alaska.

Spooked by the cold, I flew back to Bellingham, looked for jobs, gave up, joined my sister for Thanksgiving, and headed home. I was bummed about not being able to move west but had a plan: work for a couple years and save enough money to move west and "coast" until I found a job. It was a gamble, but I loved the Pacific Northwest and wanted to take it.

Most of these songs are from the weeks before that trip; the final couple are from my first days back. The music is pretty cheesy, but there are some nice moments in here. You just have to dig a bit. No instant gratification here.
