Room With a View (Seattle Seafair Boat Parade 2009)

A couple of video clips of the activity outside our windows today as the boats paraded through Elliot Bay as part of Seattle's annual Seafair event.

Some quick photos, as well. I was hanging my camera out the window, which doesn't necessarily provide the best angle, but it was almost 100 degrees outside (with the added bonus of an Excessive Heat Warning from the Weather Advisory) so there was no way in h*** I was leaving the sanctity of my air-conditioned cave.

I'll bet there were a lot of very hot, sweaty commuters on that ferry desperately hoping for the fireboats to come just . . . a little . . . closer.

ADDENDUM:

The video clips were filmed by the BF on his tiny Flip MinoHD Camcorder. The video quality isn't fantastic, but for such a "Honey I shrunk the Camcorder!" handheld gadget, it does a good job.

And did I mention how tiny it is? You can carry the darn thing everywhere with you . . .
