    The fantasy area is very cool - make sure you stick around for the short talk about The Princess Bride.

    On the southeast exterior of the EMP, where the monorail comes out of the building, get the Space Needle in the upper left corner, in between the tracks. Wait and shoot, as the monorail exits the EMP.

    Not much music. Was so much cooler when it first opened. All they have is Nirvana, Hendrix. What about the rest? History? Blues? Jazz? Overpriced for not mucg to see. Sound lab was fun.
