Disco Biscuits at Thursday in the Square
Either way it way an awesome thursday in the square. The crowd went crazy trying to get an ovation and finally after like 5 minutes they came back out. Somehow I forgot to take pictures from my phone so I stole this pic off their website for your viewing pleasure.
In general, the crowd was one of the most drugged and drunk crowds I have seen at the square but what do you expect from hippies. Then again I haven't been going as much as I used to, maybe its just like that now.
I love the four blocks of misanthropes and misguided youth that line main street, north of the venue and put on their own event. There were street performers, dancers, and of course the crazy militant christians were still there.
I realized for the first time last night that even though they are protesting, some of them probably secretly enjoy going and not just to "save souls." I mean imagine, you have the choice to protest reality at the mall, or at thursday in the square with all the people and music and craziness. Its probably the only concerts they get to "go to." okay, maybe besides Kingdom Bound but honestly I think those particular people would find Kingdom Bound blasphemous.
The best part was watching this 15 y/o inner city girl telling some adult protester that her slutty top didn't have any effect on her relationship with jesus because he forgave her.

Working till midnight
It all comes down to the fact that I really don't get a chance to program until after 5PM and then I get into a groove and don't want to stop. The time between 5-12am is when I get like 90% of the programming done and can really concentrate. Most of the rest of the day from 10:30-5:00 is documentation, meetings, politics and helping people.

Seabar on Washington
We went to Seabar on washington for James' birthday. The food there is so delicious and beautiful.
The bright red one was "beef on weck" which is raw beef wrapped around rice and more beef, dipped in salt and caraway seeds. I also had marlin for the first time.

Workfare instead of welfare?
Obviously, I am only talking about people who are physically capable. If childcare is an issue than they could pick child care providers out of the group and have them watch children while the parents took turns working.
I mean our society has so much stuff that need to be done, and a lot of people that "desperately want jobs but can't find them." We pay them either way, why not let society (the people themselves included) reap some benefit from the tax money spent.
Then their salaries can just show up with all the other state workers? Is that ok?
There were plenty of examples of this during the depression with public works projects.

State Employee Salaries and Welfare
They are a little behind, its not real time number but last year's numbers - still interesting.
I understand why people want this - the public pays the salary - the public wants to know where the money is going.
I like this kind of transparency and think we should take it one step further.
I think we should also publish the names and amount that people reap in social welfare benefits, and how about unemployment too? Seems only fair.
What do you guys think?

I hadn't read the fine print re: the Harbor shows until today - their website clearly says $10 in advance, and $20 the day of the show. :::link::: I wonder how many people realize this? Or that you have to get these tickets from Ticketmaster or the downtown office if you want the $10 advance ticket?
Nice to see (e:joshua), (e:jason) & (e:drew) in our travels.
