Quick recap #1: Neighborhood Festival Planning

-
Been really busy helping my neighborhood organize its 1st ever Street Fair! Its going to be called the Seattle Founders Day Festival taking place on August 14th & 15th.

This Belltown festival will be more than a street fair, more than a block party. With actors in costume roaming the street, history booths and various organizations, live music, local crafts and much more in the works. (Click on poster to see a full-size version)


Though the city has given some funding and approval to close the street down for the event, this weekend we are having a fundraiser for the festival. Lots of lighting, security and so forth that will need to be paid for when having a 2-day event. This is a great way for our unique community to come together and celebrate its history, have fun together and hopefully bring more business to all the shops and services in my Belltown neighborhood.

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.
