This weekend I did many fun things.
On Friday night, I went to “Dance Oly Dance” with Orion. Dan said that he’s planning a similar show, but it will be two hours long and all techno/ electronic music. Afterwards, I felt like a celebrity when I overheard someone say “He started it” and then a young woman asked “Are you one of the managers here?” She wants to plan another similar show for the Evergreen Hip-Hop Congress with b-boys (breakdancers). I wish both projects the best of luck. [suckers!]
On Saturday, we watched the Big Comfy Couch (with Lunette the clown).
Then, I checked out the Lacey Maintenance Center as a possible meeting place for the next alley meeting. I’ll have to go in person between 7:30 AM and 4:30 PM to book it, but they have over a dozen parking spaces, and they’re right next to Pints and Quarts.
We also dropped off blankets at Animal Services and saw kitties, bunnies and guinea pigs for adoption. We looked at the lumber in Olympia Salvage, but it really seemed too beat up to use for Orion’s loft. Next, we went to Wind-Up Here. I made a wish list for my birthday there.
In case you’re wondering what an almost 40 y/o clown would like, items on the list range from trick candles to a heat sensitive shower light.
Orion got a Playmobil catalog. He wants most everything in that for his birthday, but he also wants most everything from his Lego catalog.
Then, I got my hair cut by Toni from Euphorium. She showed me a map of where she went on her honeymoon in Hawaii and tried to make me look less like Herman Munster and more like the suave, sophisticated gentleman I imagine I will be at 40.
Then, I took Orion to Rusty Cock Ridge. He played Pajama Sam and had a root beer float.
We saw Keith Jewell and his lady companion, Jessica. She’s a contortionist with the Pure Cirkus and has just started working with fire fans. They’ve got a new show at the Triple Door in Seattle on April 28th.
Then, we visited “Uncle” Luke and hooked up the computer to his network to recover long lost data… and a bunch of new mp3s from Duckhugger’s collection. I also left my S-VHS deck there for more maintenance. When it gets working I will be able to archive tapes from Kagami butoh, Infectious Waste Theatre, and the first few years of Dance O’ Dance.
On Sunday, I took Orion to the Eastside Big Tom’s to redeem another Free burger certificate I got on myspace. Mike’s trying hard to win the Best Burger Category at http://bestofsouthsound.com and he’s not afraid to bribe the voters. How does he afford it? Well, I also bought Tater Tots and a White Chocolate Passion (Raspberry) shake too.
Last, we stopped at Home Depot and priced fresh lumber. I also started coveting a Stanley 50 gallon rolling toolbox that’s big enough for pies, buckets of confetti, costumes, and everything. (Retailing for only $69.97)
Finally, Trish came home from the Women’s Retreat at Camp Seymour and I cooked her up enough vegetable soup for the week.
All in all, it was a fun weekend.
