Carrying stuff

While I carried a much bigger load earlier in the day, on my way to a balloon gig, I neglected to take any pictures. Fortunately, I was going to a potluck, so I stopped at Jewel to pick up a few things.

I know it’s lame to bring non-homemade things to a potluck…but it was hot and I had to work earlier in the day.

At the Jewel we picked up some simple, tasty items: Watermelon, Cider, Cookies, Chips and Salsa.

The Haul

Everything but the chips fit in my pannier. The chips went in Zach’s backpack so they wouldn’t be crushed.

In my Panniers

And away I rode…getting cheers and waves as I had kept my helmet décor on from earlier in the day ( dropped the rest of my rainbow get up, fortunately).

It feels as though I've found my voice again, but I know I need to refine it's timbre and tone. Of late I've been writing draft after draft after draft of snippets of ideas and thoughts that warrant more exploration. Today, I decideed to challenge myself to go out into the world and just write a few words about what I saw. It's been something I've struggled with all weekend, which I think is part of my own deep uneasiness about society and the state of politics in the world today. Ahem...that can get me down another tangent. Today was the last day before I head back to work tomorrow and I needed to get on my bike and just experiece my city. I didn't want to push myself or get in a workout, I just wanted to see. I pumped up my tires and hit the streets. I meandered past a garage sale where a LuluLarue consultant was making one last push to get rid of product. I saw gardens and cats on porches. I geared down and climbed up hills and ended up at Wapato Park. You co

It's not often field which I am the target market. But I think this device was made for me: This  Bicycle powered Air Compressor . <iframe width="372" height="239" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/k8sWYX3-jx8" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> Now, I don't know how to build this, but I'm gosh darn it, I'm going to figure out how. If you or anyone you know can point me in a direction or help me to build this, I'd appreciate it. Or if you know of an even better option to create a pump to integrate in with a bike, that would be great as well.

Solo Performance Workshop

I've had the privilege for the last several weeks to get to participate in a Solo Performance workshop. I knew right away that when I first met Michelle Matlock that I wanted to learn from her.  Michelle runs  Circle Up Productions , an a new venture here in  the South Sound. Circle Up does a little bit of everything in the event world. Basically put, she can make every event incredible. With a background in theater, clowning and circus arts, Michelle has performed all over the world. However, her roots are here in the Northwest, and she has opened up Circle Up to share her knowledge and skills to help Tacoma truly become the city of Destiny. Last week I joined Michelle for a sneak preview of the Venardos Circus and again affirmed that I struggle with juggling. Tonight we had our first exhibit of the projects we have been working on. My performance was a bit off the cuff, but it was just a joy to hear the projects developed by the other participants. I was exciting to perform again
