King Tut @ OMSI

[CoastRange57]

I saw the original King Tut exhibit in Seattle when it toured back in about 1978. I had met up with a young lady who was an anthropology student and suggested that we go see this exhibit. Now at the time my life consisted of working my normal job, playing in a garage band, wearing my hair a bit long and just having a good time, so how she decided I would be a good companion on this trip was a bit beyond me.

Not wanting to appear uncultured at all, I agreed that it was a good idea and off we went. We stood in line for a couple hours and saw the exhibit and then went and did the Pikes Market and waterfront thing. She suggested we should probably find a place to stay for the night if we were planning on clubbing a bit that night. Done deal. Ended up staying another night after that. Came back home, had a few more encounters then she went on some foreign expedition to dig up dead sh*t somewhere and I was just left with the memories of a cultured young lady.

So yeah, I saw the OG King Tut.

I really like the Bangles, "Manic Monday" song

Do you like the Bangles in general or just Susanna Hoffs ? They still got it going on.

Steve Martin's 'King Tut' sketch is racist, Reed College students say

Tell the Reed College Student to go pound sand or anything else he feels a need to pound
His Statement is offensive to me

I like their music and they're all women is beside the point to me. I like the Celitic Woman too.

Also like Suzanne Ciani too:

I like the Celitic Woman too.

I like Celtic music as well, one of my favorite genres is bluegrass which has its roots in Celtic music, and as I sudy it more, I find new things every time I look at both. The wife wanted to go to the Celtic Woman Show a few years back and told me to get really good seats up front. Fine with me, was a great show, great music and some pretty hot singers.

Serious question...

At what amount of time does digging up a grave become archeology and not grave robbing?

I think if you're digging items that were buried 1000 of years ago you are doing archeology.

Howard Carter held off digging in that location until his funding from Lord Carnarvon was drawing to a close.

We saw Celtic Woman in concert a number of years back - my dad had tickets and couldn't go, so he gave them to us. Was a great show.

I was thinking the same thing while I was at the Exihibit

Very neat exhibit and thank you for posting the pics. Even more so for helping young people gain an interest in history. My father instilled an intense interest in history at an early age and the subject has been a lifelong passion.
