We accidentally all went a weekend early to brushwood for Sirius rising. Luckily, (e:hodown) stayed because the event is next weekend and she would have missed her plane.

It was still fun to hang out and camp. We also got to swim a bit, although in a chlorinated pool. In the evening casey and I almost cooked ourselves to death in the hot tub because it was so cold walking back to camp wet that we didn't want to get out.



Man, I thought those chairs were uncomfortable for me. I can't imagine being as tall as (e:keithT) and trying to nap in one. It would kill my neck.


I am going to try and cut out of work early this week and use up some vacation time to attend a couple days of the festival and the fire this weekend.

I guess going a week early is better than going a week late.

One of the coolest parts was a vertical campfire in a hollow tree log with holes allowing viewing inside. I would have taken a picture but I no phone with me.

The overall best moment was dancing to the music of the drum circle barefoot by the campfire. The worst moment was trying to do a roundoff off of bench and missing my target.

I feel like this shrine/trash mound/artwork we found really sums it up.


This corn thing is too crazy






Look sandals with no socks

I would actually be more likely to do that then car share.

I just couldn't pass up this pic.

We went to the eights for Kim's birthday. The food was great. I would have killed for a restaurant like this during my vegan years. What on earth is vegan beef on weck like.

It seems amazing that this is at the counter at rite aid on elmwood at this time of year. Not only that but its $9.99. Its 2 tiny pieces of plastic. There is more substance to the packaging.
