My friend Steven alerted me to this post from the New York Times yesterday asking what should be on their “reverse bucket list” for New York? They explain:

You’ve watched the sun set from the roof of the Empire State Building, made love atop 800-thread-count sheets at the Royal Plaza Suite, savored a steak at Peter Luger, sat ringside at Shakespeare in the Park, and ridden the Cyclone while sipping a Cel-Ray soda.

Every pleasure and privilege the city has to offer has been yours.

Now it’s time to get cracking on your New York City reverse bucket list.

What are some things you don’t want to do in New York before you die?

Items on that list include “Emerge from the subway and have to ask directions” and “Spend a night at Penn Station.” Accepting Steven’s challenge, I thought it would be fun to make a similar list for Seattle. Omitting some obvious things like Ride the Ducks or things that I wouldn’t do anyway (like cos-play at Emerald City Comic Con), and I just have better things to do with my time than play kickball at Cal Anderson Park. Here are some of the items on my (now ever-growing) Seattle Reverse Bucket List:

• Get stuck downtown during the Torchlight Parade.
• Not get over Super Bowl XL.
• Sign a petition sponsored by Tim Eyman.
• Say “Cap Hill.”
• Use the #SaveUberX hashtag.
• Get a cup of coffee (or anything else, I don’t drink coffee) at Storyville.
• Get caught anywhere near Gasworks Park on the Fourth of July.
• Stop to talk to a canvasser in front of Westlake Center (again).
• Order an Oprah Chai Tea from Starbucks.
• Take part in Santacon.
• Make eye contact with a LaRouchie (also known as LaRouche Bags).
• Drive five blocks to my walking path, like Nicole Brodeur.
• Have out-of-town friends asking to visit the “Singles House.”
• Drink on St. Patrick’s Day at Kells or Fado.
