NANOG70 tee shirt mystery
So, I've been staring at the NANOG70 tee shirt for a bit now: https://flic.kr/p/VejX5y and I have to admit, I'm a bit stymied. Usually, the tee-shirts are somewhat referential to the location or to a particular event; but this one is leaving me scratching my head. Is it perhaps a shot of the network engineering "Ooops (I broke the network again)" concert tour? Or is there some other cultural reference at play that I'm not aware of? Enquiring minds want to know!(tm). :) Matt

It could be this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_Washington_(state)#Grunge Nirvana & Pearl Jam (amongst others) came out of Seattle, it seems. TIL! -- Tom

However, a Hyatt Regency hotel in Bellevue is about as far from grunge as one can get. For those not familiar with Bellevue it is roughly similar to Crystal City in Arlington, VA. On Jun 4, 2017 5:10 PM, "David Barak via NANOG" <nanog@nanog.org> wrote:

I only knew the CD version, which looks cropped from the LP edition: https://www.discogs.com/Pearl-Jam-Ten/release/376650#images/3899643 -- Niels.
It's a play on Pearl Jam's "Ten" album cover as best as I can tell. -Jon On Jun 4, 2017 16:57, "Matthew Petach" <mpetach@netflight.com> wrote:
