Day 100
Coast to Coast – Hello Seattle!
Have just completed the first 100 days of Living Off Groupons so I thought it would be an opportune moment to recap where I’ve been the last few months:
Chicago, IL (11 days over 3 visits)
Indianapolis, IN (1 day)
Cincinnati, OH (8 days over 2 visits)
Columbus, OH (4 days)
Cleveland, OH (3 days)
New York City, NY (10 days over 2 visits)
Philadelphia, PA (5 days over 2 visits)
Boston, MA (6 days)
Baltimore, MD (3 days)
Washington, DC (17 days)
Nashville, TN (11 days over 2 visits)
Memphis, TN (4 days)
Louisville, KY (3 days)
Milwaukee, WI (6 days)
Minneapolis, MN (7 days)
Seattle, WA (1 day)
I also passed through or stopped in the states of New Jersey, Delaware, Connecticut & Virginia making a total of 16 states! Day 100 turned out to be a bit of a whirlwind as I was inundated with phone calls, text messages, emails, tweets, and Facebook & blog comments. This was partially due to the amazing turnout of Seattle locals wanting to meet up while I’m in town and the multitude of press trying to get in contact with me, presumably as a result of my CNN interview. This evening I did a live phone interview with WCCO radio in Minneapolis while hanging out at Peso’s Kitchen & Lounge in Seattle. Stay tuned for more as I have an interviews Wednesday morning 8/18 with The Candy + Potter Show on 94.1 KMPS (Seattle radio) at 7:40AM PST and a 9:15AM PST with Q13 FOX (Seattle TV)! On the agenda (tentative) for the coming week or two in Seattle includes: 8/18 Interviews, meetup with @ColinIsMyName and his cohorts, dinner and a photo shoot with a local photographer around the city. 8/19 Winery Tour & Tasting 8/21 Seahawks/Packers game (hopefully!) 8/22 Queen of Seattle Paddlewheel Cruise Unscheduled activities include: The Space Needle, The EMP, a tour of that coffee company this city is known for, cooking classes, boating, eating, a haircut, a massage(s) & whale watching!!! Call/text me at (847) 452-9181 if you’d like to make plans in the Seattle area between now and 8/26.

Yay! You got to Kerry Park – that’s a must see for coming to Seattle. This is definitely a city you’re going to have to visit again before the year is over, you’re not going to have enough time to do it all in one trip.
Don’t fail to visit West Seattle! It’s just a short trip across a short bridge, and is so worth it. There are lots of great eateries, bars, shops, parks, beaches, and great people who are rabid about Groupon over here!
Still cant believe you missed so much in VA hopefully you can find your way back east and visit Williamsburg ,The Blue Ridge Parkway, VA Beach ,Richmond, Monticello, ect…
Ditto on West Seattle!!!
There are so many awesome places, great views, a nice beach, one of the larger parks, and awesome people who eat Groupon up!!!!!
Are you coming to Portland on the 26th?? A group of us are headed out to the Oregon coast to camp out on the beach…you should come with! We have an extra tent and sleeping bag too
Josh; Your explorations sound incredible. Had lunch with your Mom today and learned much more. I love Seattle and the NW. Hope you do too!
Josh, what a fantastic time yesterday. So glad we could show you Lake Washington! There’s so much to do in the Seattle area that a little R&R at sunset at the lake seemed like the perfect break. Enjoy your NW adventures and holler if you need anything!
Yes! Come visit Portland next!
Hey Josh – if you come down to Sacramento, let me know. I have a spare bedroom. You remind me strongly of my brother. Email me at aesthete@newsguy.com if you like.
Josh, it’s time to visit SAN ANTONIO TEXAS!
Glad you got to see Seattle with a bit of sunny skies while you are here… it’s the best!
Enjoy, you will not find yourself board around here, for sure. Be safe!
Josh, That sure is a guttsy thing you’re doing. But it sure sounds FUN!!!!!
I’d love to do it myself if I ever had the guts to go alone like that.
I’m from Madison, WI. I hear you were in Milwaukee. How did you like it? Check out Madison – it’s the university city, the capital and all that!! It’s a fun town. Come and see – you’ll agree.
MR. GROUPAWN,
DO YOU INTEND ON VISITING TAMPA, FL?? ALOT TO DO AND ITS BEAUTIFUL DOWN HERE IN THE SUNSHINE STATE NOT TO MENTION THE BEAUTIFUL LADIES AND BEAUTIFUL BEACHES!! IF SO EMAIL ME AT mrlathanfrost@yahoo.com.
So, can you tell us how much it cost and how much you saved doing your coast-to-coast trip? Just curious!
Josh! It was great meeting you yesterday. I hope the karaoke wasn’t too crazy for you
Have fun visiting Seattle and let me know if you plan on coming back to the Box.
I’m finally catching up on your blog. So cool! I’m really glad you’re liking Seattle. The best part is the people, though, right?
Speaking of Seattleites, Hi @Katie Leers!! See you at the Box!
