Seattle Sounders Kick Off 2010 With Great Hair

After the amazing Seattle Sounders FC 2009 Season it is safe to say that Seattle LOVES soccer! There is no doubt a huge following for professional sports in Seattle and now the fans are coming through to support the Sounders FC. The Sounders FC became the second MLS expansion team in league history (Chicago was first) to win the U.S. Open Cup tournament in their first season. The Sounders attracted the best average home crowds of 30,943 in just their first year in MLS (source). With all the excitement and anticipation for the 2010 season ticket sales have been record breaking. More than 31,000 season tickets already have been sold. Quest fields seating configuration has been expanded to approximately 35,500 to accommodate the growing fan base. Get your tickets soon, or you may miss out on an amazing season!

I found my two passions in life are much related. Unique hair styles and soccer go hand in hand. Everyone knows the faux hawk became a hit from Beckham and the Sounders are no exception to trend setting hair styles. A lot of the players wear their hair short but there are a few honorable mentions. Not everyone can emulate there amazing soccer skills but you can have their hair styles!

Fredy_Montero

Most famous would be Fredy Montero. His unique European hair style is fun on the field but also wearable day to day. If you’re looking for a little more edge, something that isn’t seen every day, but not TOO out there this is the cut for you! In essence it is a Mohawk down the center with the sides cut shorter but still blended into the Mohawk. This is definitely a style you will need product for but don’t let that overwhelm you.

Another great style on the sounders team is there fierce second string goalkeeper Terry Boss. You may not know him as well because he is second to the famous Kc Keller but don’t under estimate Terry he is a great goalkeeper as well. His cut is shorter all around and is a variation on Beckhams Fohawk! If you want a short cut that is still stylish this is a great way to go. It is cut close with clippers on the side and blended to longer on top so it is still styleable. This is a style you can shower and go with; obviously it will look better with a little product on top to define it!

4-StephenKing

Midfielder Stephen King has the cut for an easy, every day, any hair type, low maintenance style. You can wash and wear with no product, if you must, but with a lot of texture in it you can still put product in it and style it for a change! It is cut close but not clipper short, the top is longer but not drastically, this allows for diversity in how you can wear it.

There are so many options for men’s cuts, don’t sell yourself short, come in to a great salon and get the haircut that works for you!

Neighborhood Business Updates

Here are just a few updates on the changing scene of Capitol Hill:

QjnLdkrfO1sEO1dj7GhrZjnBeq4-large

New photo’s were featured on the Capitol Hill Blog of the soon to open Elliot Bay Books which will be on 10th between Pike and Pine (across from Rancho Bravo). The space looks amazing with huge ceilings and some great exposed beams. I can’t wait to see the finished product. You can get the full update on the CHS blog.

Another Pioneer Square business is rumored to be making the move to Cap Hill, with Pioneer Square Video eying a spot on Pine st across from 611 supreme.  More here at CHS.

Everyday Music will be moving onto 10th between Pike and Pine with Elliot Bay Books and a new art supply store is in the works for Everyday Music’s current space at Pine and Broadway.  More at CHS.  This article also confirmed that the new Elliot Bay Books will include a cafe.

Cap Hill Seattle got photos of the new Sonic Boom Records and Velouria clothing store on Melrose between Pike and Pine.

Seattle PI ran an article about a tour they took of the new Packard building with lots of pictures.  Looks like it will mostly include brand new luxury apartments, but rumor has it that it will also be home to a new permanent Skillet restaurant which would be fantastic and at 12th and Pine more than close enough for mid day lunch breaks!

The Lobby Bar opened across the street from us and look awesome.  Check out their website for more details.

PoDogs has become a new favorite for our current lunch run’s and with their all-day happy hour on Sundays, who can resist?

Part of what we love about this neighborhood is how dynamic it is with so many people working hard to make it better.  What other changes have you spotted in the works on Capitol Hill?

Elliot Bay Books Moving to Capitol Hill?


Over the past few weeks there have been a number of rumors circulating of a potential move by one of Seattle’s most iconic businesses, Elliot Bay Books, from Pioneer Square to Capitol Hill. This is a very exciting prospect and could do some great things for the neighborhood. Currently the owner of Elliot Bay seems to have not made a public decision yet, but their lease is up in 2 months so we should probably be hearing a solid decision soon. Whatever Elliot Bay decides, they would be a welcome addition to Capitol Hill and we can’t wait to hear what they decide! More info in the CHS Blog and The New Pioneer Square.

Concert Update – Zero 7 at Showbox on 12/12

Zero 7, the downbeat electronic indie band, is coming to Seattle to put on another show. While they have been long acclaimed they have struggled to live up to their past glory they received on their first album Simple Things. All the same they have made some great tracks and one of their best is the song Destiny (video below), hopefully their set will include some of these classics. More details of the show can be found here on the Showbox website.
