'round we go!

its 827am on saturday. brian just left for his half day at work. i'm really excited about my day out in the university district. i plan on checking out the u-district farmers market for some farm fresh veggies and eggs. i just saw on the news that there will be an apple celebration with an apple pie eating contest, free cider (isnt there always free cider?), and other events. yay!

after the farmers markets, i'm heading to weaving works for a set of double pointed needles. i've been knitting regina a pair of fingerless gloves and the project is going much faster than i thought. then after all that is said and done, im heading to KUOW to volunteer for the fall pledge drive. i volunteered for the spring pledge drive and it was pretty fun, plus they always give away KUOW goodies (nalgene bottles, shirts, books, etc).

yesterday after work, brian and i picked up a couple of beers to-go from the elysian. i bought the delicious season pumpkin beer and an immortal ipa. we came home and listened to this american life as i prepped a sewing project. then we made a frozen pizza and watched 30 Rock together. we have been enjoying the tina fey/palin skits so much that we decided to rent her show and it's effin' hilarious. i'm a little bummed that we finished season 1 of mad men so quickly, shame on us. haha. i guess we were really ready for a new show since lost has not been on tv for almost a year now. geeze!

i wish i had a digital to show you pics of my projects, maybe i can borrow a work camera or something one day.

later tonight we are checking out a grafitti art opening at 11th and pike by artist NKO and Scratchmaster Joe. it's hosted by grey gallery. apparently, the duo also did the grafitti at the bridge motel project. there will be drinks, dj's, and free toys (says their flickr site). i'm intrigued. apparently the whole project is sponsored by the mayor's office of cultural affairs and funded by area businesses (ie value village, grey gallery etc.)



also hanging at grey until december 6th.

artist, eduardo benedetto

have a good weekend!

one of a million

i finally recieved my obama t-shirt! how can i make it cool rather than wearing it as another gym t-shirt?

also, i forgot to report on grey gallery. the cocktails were delicious. i ordered a kir royale and then a greyhoud. tart and tasty! the photos hanging were good but i thought there were too many for the series.

this is what i'm doing this weekend -

Western Bridge


Lawrimore Project


Japanese Gardens at the Arboretum


have a good weekend!

"If that's what you are into.."

I can't get this song out of my head, it's hilarious!

I had a lovely lunch with an old workmate from CW. She is working at Vulcan. Their offices are located in the ID so needless to say picking a place to eat at was a bit taxing. "Should we eat at the place where all the 'americans' eat"? Oh wait, hold up. They are all homeless! Or should we eat at the sketch dim sum place. After walking around for 15 minutes we found an 'americanized' dim sum place that was just fine. Afterwards we walked to Oasis and had bubble tea. Delicious!

B and I are heading out soon for a drink with Dave and Mish at Grey Gallery. I'm excited to finally get to drink inside that lounge. Everytime I walk by Grey with Brian it almost always takes like a 5 minute coaxing to get him to have a drink with me there and then I just give up and we go to Moe Bar or Lindas. Fans of the bar/gallery say "I like booze and I like art!" Me too! I remember there was a time when I said I didn't do art. haha. God, I'm an asshole.

Tonight, The Quiet Ones, Blitzen Trapper, and Fleet Foxes at Neumos. This show is going to rage and I'm totally wearing my cowboy boots.

Tomorrow morning I leave for Portland. Keep posted for updates on my craft weekend with Miss Rehder. Have a lovely weekend!
