how's Seattle?

April R
I know this is probably a suicide run but there's an exhibit at the EMP museum in Seattle that I really _really_ want to go to.  The Antenna Search does not look promising but it's either this year or never because they're getting Smart Meters next year, which I almost black out around.  My idea had been fly in (I'm in Colorado), take a taxi there, see the fantasy exhibit, hightail it back to the airport and get the heck out of there!  Shielding material doesn't agree with me at all.  I'm well aware that this is nuts but if I don't at least try before giving up and going home I'm going to be kicking myself about this for _years_.  Is anyone here familiar with the area?  Thanks.

I suppose it depends on how sensitive you are.  I know that some people here
avoid Seattle altogether while others live there.  :-)

I'd guess that the biggest problem you might have with the EMP museum is the
museum itself, which is rather high tech.  I've been there a couple times and
don't recall any problems, but I suspect that I'm less sensitive than you.

yeesh, how 'high tech'?  I figured the building would provide a little  
shielding from what's outside it but maybe I'm wrong?

Well, the building was constructed by a Microsoft billionaire,
so it's more high tech than the average building.  :-)   On the
other hand, nearby is basically a park -- grass, fountains, etc.
But it is fairly densely populated around that with condos,
apartments, etc.  The biggest problem that I'd have there is
the crowds of people at the museum with their iPhones.

Checking out this exhibit (which looks fascinating to me too), couldn't
help but note the irony in the question "What if we were enslaved by our
machines?"
