I spent the last day and a half venturing through Bumbershoot, Seattle's Annual 3-day Music & Arts Festival. I met up with various friends in beer gardens, saw some really great concert posters in Flatstock (a poster convention that takes place inside the festival), bought two cool shirts and some more stationary in the massive indie/craft market and managed to see 1 play and 2 bands with friends. There was also a skate ramp where skates and BMX riders were doing tricks. There was several art exhibits including a room that had 2 live models and a band playing with a bunch of easels & supplies for anyone to sit down and draw.

Everyone knows I hate crowds and Bumbershoot was actually not that bad this year. The only insane areas were the main walkways. When I was leaving yesterday, traveling with a huge herd of festival-goers some guy in front of me waved his hands and in the process whacked me HARD in the face!!!! He immediately apologized but man did that hurt! I told him to be more aware of their surroundings. His idiot friend said he should give me $5. (what the heck could that do?)

After that, I decided I had my fill of Bumbershoot and sold my today's ticket to a friend at a discounted rate. Today I spent cleaning my apartment since I'll be most likely working late all this week & then leaving for vacation on Saturday to meet my folks in San Francisco!!!!!

Its been a while since I posted here. May was an insanely busy but AMAZING. There was the Highline High School fundraiser dinner. I never recalled my high school having fundraisers and since I don't have kids, I told Carinna I would join her for her school's fundraiser auction/dinner. It was fun, I won a bottle of nice wine and 3 of us bid on the "Taste of Highline dinner" where several moms and staff would make meals passed down from their families. We were able to invite up to 10 friends. There was Italian, Somalian, Soul, Mexican, and Hawaiian. There may have been another but I forget. It was sooooo yummy and was hosted at a house that was on Lake Burien. They told us there may be a boat involved. The boat turned out to be a battery operated dock that quietly moved in the water. That was a riot. It was a beautiful evening with stories of the meals with some of my favorite seattle friends. The weather had finally taken a turn for the nicer so for my friend Sar...

Summer came and went

Where did the summer go and what did I do. SOOOOO much. It was a great summer. I only ended up camping once but it was a good one. I went to PARIS! Which was gorgeous, romantic, rich in foods and simply breathtaking.  I wish I had time to post highlights of my summer but I can only suggest to check out all my photos since May on Flickr. It was a good summer in Seattle.
