Edgy Frost Park Banner and Picture of the Week
Frost Park Banner for Episode XIX:
Nice work Dawn. An appropriate banner for the Volcano sponsor episode.
I think Ron would approve.

 by jamesstoweart on 8/14/2008 @ 1:19pm | Nice banner. Great work Dawn. |
 by droid116 on 8/14/2008 @ 2:16pm | Apparently I have been applying my chalk incorrectly.
Nice banner. Those jeans should now be framed as art. |
 by RonSwarner on 8/14/2008 @ 3:03pm | Does this chalk make my butt look fat?
Freakin' awesome Dawn! One pink cookie for you tomorrow. |

by Erik on 8/14/2008 @ 3:25pm | There seems to a viral cult following emerging Dawn for your banner in the blogosphere: Chalk your butt off tomorrow If you think sidewalk chalk is only good for hopscotch, you've got another think coming. Tomorrow, thousands of South Sound artists will descend upon Frost Park in downtown Tacoma at noon, turning its concrete into canvas for the weekly Frost Park Chalk Off at Ninth and Pacific Avenue. Witness unbelievable feats of illustration, and create some of your own. The Weekly Volcano will award the winner a future cover. weeklyvolcano.typepad.com/spew/2008/08/c... |

Thank you. |
