2i ONLINE TOUR

::: Page 1 - Beginnings

So it was the day, Thursday, and my entire school year seemed to be building up to these small joyous moments I would have during my small time for summer, and this was one of them. Without much planning ahead, I was to take a trip over to Interactive Imagination in downtown Seattle and pay a visit to all of them. Part 1: The Bus Public transportation isn't fun, for sure, and Seattle public transportation at 9:00 AM isn't any better. Starting out with just me on the bus, the amount of people slowly escalated until I was forced to shove all card binders and everything else onto my lap, with the now rising sun burning down on my neck. Worst parts of that bus ride? Took longer then it was supposed to and it also involved an old asian lady with a stinky cast right in my face. Fun. Part 2: Finding II Well off the bus now, I knew I had to find Main Street and walk towards the water (thanks to Rich Werner's almighty advice), and also to see a homeless shelter, The Mission (conveniently located next to II itself). Some homeless people in the alleys, some homeless people smoking in the alleys, not the most pleasant site. At least the water was nice. What I also found however: The Clog Shop, home to the best Clogs in Seattle. Probably gets a ton of customers too. Quizno's! Better then The Mission's daily breadline. In any case, I was almost there, since The Mission was directely across the street from Quizno's. Walking down the street, I spotted a few MND posters, and crossed the street (only to be barely missed by some crazy trolley probably driven by a maniac). But I had found II. The Big Door of Doom. Inside Ed Bolme works at his computer. The other smaller door of doom, inside where the Management works. Slops - homeless people, druggies, and Clogs. Lots of Clogs. Props - loveable trolleys and loveable bus rides. Onto Entrance!
