 Ideas?

Props? (no electricity available, sorry)

Decorations?

Origami Birds?

6th Avenue Farmers Market

I am excited to see a Farmer's Market near my home that I can actually attend.  The 6th Ave Farmer's Market is every Tuesday from 3:30-7:30, so that means I can whip on over after work at 5.  It is located by EH9 which is luckly  on my commute route, too.

If you haven't been, stop on by. There's a pretty nice jive with the vendors, and it even has a guy who sells worms.

Thanks to all who have coordinated this.

@Heather.  I happen to be standing near you when you voiced the need to make a commercial for the market.  I have a degree in advertising, and my professional experience is mainly in print advertising.  I don't know if this would help out, but I would be willing.

I give you the Roland Portal!

After much toil, grunting, a nail to the foot, and a missing vacuum filter, Roland Portal is slowly showing her beautiful face!

Enjoy this wonderful day, ya'll

Typography and the History of the World

by Lance Kagey. I wouldn't miss this, guys!

I will be giving a talk on Thursday night at the Art Museum entitled Typography and the History of the World. I'd love you all to come out. It is going to be very interactive/audience participation oriented. Join me from 7:00 - 8:00 pm next Thursday (July 17). I'd love for you to be part of the fun. And it's FREE. you can't beat that.

I know typography can be a drag for some artsy fartsy types, but this stuff can be really fascinating!  And I think Lance is the perfect person to demonstrate this, as his work exemplifies his mastery of the subject.  If you are in the Graphic Design/ Graphic Arts field, this is a must!  Let's help out our comrade and learn some stuff while we're at it!  I'd like to see a couple of people be there, and you know who you are...

Chalkies, Step UP

I have been loosely following the debacle with the Helm, and spurred on by a comment from Deeble,  I think the Chalkies, with all their "fame", could donate some thing of value that, in turn, generates monies needed to keep the Helm afloat.

The Chalkies have amassed huge amount of material that can be morphed into, say, limited run posters, photo montages (heres your chance, Fritos), videos, etc.  The creative brainpower of the Chalkies, when put together, could definitely churned out something of value to this great city.

With that said, let's hear from you.  Let's get together for a brainSTORM.  Rifle through your Chalk-Off memoriabilia and bring it.  Alien, find good stills, etc.

And, on another note,  Kev,  let's get rolling on that movie/ photo flip book we talked about.

Ahhh, a giant Flip Book!  Everythings better when it is 10 times it's real size, dipped in chocolate, or fried.

Triple D Entertainment needed!!

Calling all Performance artist

Had one helluva time at the Dockyard Derby Dames on Saturday night.  Everything was perfect; ambulances, fans passing out, blood, nail-biting bouts, as well as $2 tallboys. 

But something's missing.  DDD needs more half-time entertainment!!  This is a perfect venue for musicians, sword-eaters, and the like.  For the children and the young at heart:  big wheel races around the track or other fun novel races.

To any DDD members on FeedTacoma, I would love to contribute some ideas for the entertainment.

Anybody has an ideas or would like to volunteer their special talents, let's hear it!
