Downtown Traffic

It was highly recommended to avoid downtown Seattle this past weekend.  Apparently the traffic was horrendous, and it was packed with people.  And the reason why is really tragic.  Yes, the Seattle Mariners were playing at home this weekend - but that was only a small fraction of the crowd.  Nope, most people there were concert-goers.  And who were they there to see?  Clearly an artist of outstanding quality and fanatical levels of adoration.  An artist who I don't care for, don't know or care for any of their songs, and even not hearing their songs I know they suck.  Someone at the forefront of one of my least favorite genres of music - country pop.  Yes, Taylor Swift was in town.  And - taking a guess at the Taylor Swift demographic - I imagine downtown was packed with teenage girls and irritable dads having to shell out all their money on overpriced tickets and merchandise.
