Spokane? Seriously?

Yes, seriously. Here I am in Spokane, Washington. I arrived on Friday to judge their local ADDY Awards.

Three connecting flights later, and here I am.

It's small. Definitely smaller than what I am used to, but wow is it beautiful out here in the Pacific northwest! Fir trees, snow, clean air. Oh, the ads that needed to be judged were also pretty good.

Funny story: I thought my flight back was at 10am so I booked a ride to the airport early, only to realize my flight actually leaves just after noon. Which gives me more time to run around like a silly tourist and take photos of this quaint little city by the river.

And just for clarification, it's pronounced SPO-KAN. Yup, Spokane. Near nature, near perfect.
