Love that I saw Dave Matthews on a red bike with a basket while running around greenlake.

Shooting @ 20km/h


Matthews
was also recently seen at (what sounds to be) the Green Lake playground by Dana Treat, local mom, personal chef and Dave Matthews fan:

Now, Dave Matthews lives in our neighborhood. My husband has seen him recently at our local vegan doughnut shop (don’t knock it ’til you’ve tried it) and at this same park. I have seen him around and also met him on various occasions back when I worked in radio. I used to be a *big* fan and can now just call myself a fan. I have met a lot of famous people, mostly musicians, and even so – I get totally star struck. My heart started beating faster and before I could even think to myself just play it cool Dana, my son ran right up to him and did what every mom in the park at that moment wanted to do. He threw his arms around Dave.

The best part about the whole thing is that Dave was lovely about it. He hugged him back and said something along the lines of “thanks for a nice greeting”. I said something along the lines of “the kid has good taste”. I wanted to thrust my business card at him and tell him to call me if they wanted a personal chef, but I controlled myself. We both went to watch our kids get dirty in the sandbox and I listened to his voice as he talked on his cell phone. I love that voice.

Any other sightings? Let us know!

    I see him frequently at the QFC on 45th, most recently, on Sunday chatting with the lady that sells the Real Change newspaper.

    As a neighbor, don't you think we should respect his privacy a little more than this? This is a neighborhood blog.
  • RR
    I agree with SM. Leave the poor man alone. It's fine to e-mail your friends or put on your personal blog that you saw the guy, but let's not track his every movement on the neighborhood blog. Let him raise his children and do his errands in peace. So, please, no more listings of sightings, at least not here.

    It seems kind of cheesy. Stop the sightings people. Leave him alone or he'll move away!
