Comments on We Saw Your Light On

Best post ever. You made my night-- or morning, according to your incorrect time stamp.

pretty creepy and cool at the same time.

Wee!

You know, I think it's a little weird that in all the neighborhoods you chose to check out, you managed to stay away from the sub-neighborhoods where the cops might actually take an interest in late-night loitering.

Way to do the brave reporting, The Stranger. I'm sure there's a Pulitzer in this for one of you, if you stick to the same intersections for another 40 years or so.

Let me boil that down, robotslave, it's too wordy.

"Oh you did something? I'd have done it better, but I didn't."

hey, come on over to boylston, behind seattle central, i'll throw down tasty snacks, tampons, pbr, ironic retorts or sex toys, depending on my sardonic and medicated(or not) mood...i'm usually up and need a life.

shinning lights in windows is most likely illegal

I hope you get busted

you found nothing of real interest, just the mundane crap of ordinary people

some work, some don't , getting sex, breaking up, half crazy, etc

where is the WOW - most likely the frat boys were getting ready for a group roll and you chilled them out

mundane

@5 ROFFEL

@7 That's why it's so great you moron. The random people they came across were all equally fucked-up and yet beautiful. If you want to read/watch some sensationalized and or contrived bullshit how about you watch some reality TV?

Gorgeous. The perfect thing to wake up to when you can't sleep. Even Mudede's writing was great.

I love you, geek frat! I really want to play UNO now.

this made my morning so much better.
also, charles, there's a cougher in the apartment below me too. it's frightening sometimes.

What a super duper post. Fantastic. Thanks.

That's not a random sample of the citizenry. Far from it; it's a selected sample. Almost all of the citizenry is in bed at that hour. Ever notice what kind of ads run on late-night TV? That's your market.

I love that picture. Can't wait to read the story, though I'm waiting to sit down with the paper to do it.

Wow, what a great piece. I wish I could count myself as one of the citizens of the world up at 2 in the morning on a Wed, but sadly ... I am not.

#8 - your life is so empty that you think it is sensational? and call me a moron? and suggest more TV?

First, I don't own a TV - have not watched it at all for years.

Two, you are the moron for thinking that phrase is communication or even an insult coming from a total stranger.

Three, it is illegal to bother people in the quiet enjoyment of their homes.

Four, these interviews would be better on video.

Of course the frat boys at the U were all excited when the frat boys and girls from the Stranger came to visit and they all got more bored together

A picture of the guy with the blond curls sans shirt and a couple of buttons opened would have been REALLY interesting, esp. after midnight

Good thing you skipped Fremont.

I adored this feature. Awesome.

Lordsman - that's a pretty narrow window of when it's illegal to bother people in their homes.

That was fucking awesome.

Great idea.

You should see who is up at 4am. 2am still has some light-weight night-timers up, but at 4am you get some heavy-weight night-timers as long as you aren't running into the heavy-weight early birds! heh I'm always up late at night. That's usually when I read the slog. Mostly being up late at night there isn't much to do. If you are female you can't really go out walking around for fear of getting attacked even though I have been out late and have yet to be attacked (knock on wood). I think there is one restaurant on Capitol Hill that is open 24 hours. There is one place by the Space Needle I think. I'm not sure of other places. In Portland I think VooDoo Donuts is open 24 hours and the HotCake House I'm pretty sure. There used to be a Starbucks open in Vancouver 24 hours, but now I think they have scaled back the hours. It was drive-thru only anyway. :( In NYC I think H & H bagels is open 24 hours and the subways run 24 hours, but it is kinda creepy to be on the subway alone...or waiting for the subway alone plus with one creepy guy standing around and no one else! Oh yeah, and the hospital ERs are always open 24 hours. You should visit them! hehe.

i want to do this in my city.
