“I’ve got a girl that makes me feel like giving flowers to everyone I meet.” That’s the first line of a song called She’s So Nice, which we had the delightful privilege of hearing Curtis perform two nights ago at the O Lounge on Queen Anne in Seattle. I’m not sure what made me smile

Grace and I met them while standing in line to buy crepes. If you ever find yourself at the Saturday Minturn Market, know this in advance: procuring a crepe for lunch means a long wait in a long line, but it’s worth every sun-drenched, leg-to-leg-weight-shifting nanosecond.
