The End of Summer



[Aside from the upcoming 3 consecutive weekends of fun (soapbox, lopez juggling fest, and frisbee tournament,] summer is over. I think I'll go throw myself off a cliff.

Bummer video quality (although surprisingly good for a phone), so I apologize for that. Also, please accept my apology for the blatant filler content.

Coming Soon - SHBANG!


It's coming up on that time of year again, folks. In less than 3 weeks, Lookout Arts Quarry will be hosting the 3rd annual Off-Road Soapbox SH'BANG!!* Perhaps you've read about it here before: 2008, (pre) 2009. Now come be a part. Besides ridiculous cars hurtling down the hill, there will also be a circus show, bands, swimming*, food stands, and a wishing well! Besides all that, it is a great opportunity to check out the now world renowned Quarry. (I'd be glad to give you a personal tour.)

Any questions, any question at all, you can either post in the comments and I will respond, or contact me. I can tell you all about how to get there on the public bus (so you can save $20 on parking), what to expect, how awesome it will be, etc.

Dreams Come True Pavilion

Yesterday, I finished the Dreams Come True Pavilion, a project began almost a year ago first with a wishing well and then a [fancy] rock wall. This last phase has been laying stone and broken concrete to create the "pavilion" part of the pavilion. The project has been an outlet for a creative need, an exercise in my stone stacking skillz, an investment in a project that I believe in, and an attempt to create something that really affects people in a positive way.

The result of hauling, stacking, and laying all these rocks is something I'm quite proud of. I would love to show it to you sometime if you ever find the chance* to make it up to the Quarry (between Anacortes and Bellingham). If you come, be sure to bring some coins for wishing (and a swimsuit for the best swimming hole in the county). Until then, have a look at a picture or two: dedication stone, the well front and center, an artist's self portrait (posted here for archival purposes).

And remember, dreams do come true. (They really do.)

Roadside Attractions:
I gotta remember to stop by some of these someday. The Shoe Tree and Forbidden Gardens would be pretty neat.

A list of prices for flights from Seattle to almost anywhere. Great fuel for the travel imagination!

Portland to Olympia Bus:
I've heard rumor of this being true for ages. Every attempt I've made online to track down schedules has failed. In this thread, someone lays out the options very clearly (about halfway down). I can't verify them via online schedules, but I'd be willing to give it a shot next time I try to make the Oly->Portland leg.
