Drinking the Blues Away.
Back in September I wrote about Prom Queen (aka Celene Ramadan, aka chiptune musician Leeni) and her very exciting and ambitious Kickstarter campaign to make a 12-song album with 12 accompanying videos that, when strung together, will form a full-length film.
The Kickstarter campaign was obviously a success. How could it not be? It was an awesome idea.
The expected delivery date is April 2014, so I’m excitedly anticipating that. In the meantime, though, filming chugs on. One video has been completed and released, the video to “Can’t Seem to Cry.” And a big chunk of it just happened to be filmed in one of my all-time favorite restaurants:
XXX ROOT BEER!

If you don’t know about XXX Root Beer…
- Shame on you!
- Listen up, ’cause I’m gonna break it down for you.
XXX Root Beer is a burger joint in Issaquah:
It is probably my favorite burger joint in the state, despite its distance from Tacoma. They have amazing, huge, incredibly-sloppy burgers (but don’t ask for a fork & knife no matter how sloppy they are). But since their name is XXX Root Beer, they’re known of course for their homemade root beer floats. These things are gargantuan and come in mugs the size of your face. Not only do they have scoops of ice cream in them, but the mug is garnished with a scoop of ice cream on the rim.
Just check out their menu and become a believer.
Now here’s the video. It should be pretty obvious which part is filmed at XXX:
One of my favorite musicians and one of my favorite restaurants = two great tastes that taste great together!
