Oh my, it was a busy summer and autumn! After our first successful "date" on the Kinetic Sculpture Race weekend (last blog post), Thorne and I decided to keep seeing each other. I don't think I've ever been so busy. We were going to one event or another every week or two, and I had just enough free time to put things away and post photos before the next event came up. So below are slide shows of some events from the last five months. You can follow back to my Picasa site if you really want to see more.
I also got back into haunting cemeteries, stopping at some on my drives home from the Bay Area, or where ever I happened to be. I took piles of photos, and posted them. Not all are especially artsy or significant, but there's some element of interest to me in each one. I love the different marker shapes, symbols and scripts, poems, information - all of it.
While looking up some information on a fraternal order mentioned on one gravestone, I discovered The Association of Graveyard Rabbits. It inspired me to start a blog devoted to my cemetery photos. I'd been thinking about doing that anyway, and the opportunity to become a graveyard rabbit encouraged me to do it. The Samhain season helped. Hopefully I'll keep posting something of interest every now and then. Anyway, there's a link to that blog in my side bar. Enjoy.
Loch Morgan. Please don't offer me any St. Germain for a while, please.
The Art Deco Society of California's Boating Picnic on Lafayette Reservoir. The best bunch of people I've met while crashing a party. I wish I had time to add another century to my playing.
Petaluma Rivertown Revival. Another good time at an event where I knew no one. An impromptu entry into a heat of the Art Boat Races allowed Thorne to show off his rowing prowess. I excelled at cox'ning.
Hiking on the Dollason Prairie Trail. Proving that we can have fun in the 21st Century, too.
Canoeing up Eureka and Freshwater Sloughs. Look ma, no costumes!
TSCA's Marshall Beach campout. Lots of great people I barely got to meet; we were out plating in the boat so much.
Excalibur Medieval Faire. I had fun pouring ale in the tavern, while Thorne stood out front hawking for us.
Hakone Daichakai. OMG, what happened to Thorne??
