What's up people?

Me and my boys are heading to Seattle for a weekend in early November and I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas about things to check out while I'm there. I'm going to pop into Experience Hendrix but I'm wondering if any Jimi fanatics or people with knowledge of the Seattle scene know of any other cool spots to check out while I'm there. Maybe some cool guitar shops or landmarks. Thanks in advance!

i believe theres a bench in a park that has been heavily vandalized and grafitti'd in honor of Kurt Cobain by fans.... if you like nirvana you could bring a sharpie and do that....

The Space Needle is supposed to be a must see.Also Hendrix fans besides visiting the Experience Music pavillion should visit Jimi's final resting place in Greenwood Memorial Cemetary in nearby Renton,it's quite an elaborite tribute to him compared to the simple grave marker he originally had. It would also be worth your while to check out Randy Hanson the quintessential Hendrix tribute performer,he is from Seattle and regularly gigs in the area when not on tour.I read from several sources that Jimi's father Al went backstage to meet Randy after one of his performances and when both of them went to go through a door at the same time,the elder Hendrix gestured for Randy to go first and said"After you,Jimi." that would be the ultimate compliment for anyone.
