GEORGETOWN, SEATTLE, WA :: Today, Kristie and I walked the streets of Georgetown for the very first time. The old industrial neighborhood hosted a festival of art, music, theater and events. We peeked inside a few of the galleries and were as perplexed as we usually are when viewing contemporary art, but we could appreciate most of the pieces for their whimsy.
The highlight was the Seattle Power Tool Race and Derby, a drag race between vehicles built out of various powertools, including beltsanders, chainsaws and rocket-powered handvacs. It was a lot of fun, although seriously dangerous as well. I’m surprised the city allows it! If it’s still around, I think I’ll have to submit an entry for next year’s race!

Interesting stuff. Like the perspectives you have given. Hit the Freemont Soltice parade too?
The Edmonds Arts Festival was on the same weekend, and we decided to go to it instead of the Solstice Fair. Did you check out the nude cyclists?

Na, been working on a long bathroom project all weekend.
If you’re moving the toilet, remember to replace the seal… =) Perhaps I can consult with you when we’re ready to redo our bathrooms.
Are you still using the saw? No rush, but if it’s not being used, I’d like to take it back and borrow your nailer again – only if you don’t need it right now.
If you’re still using them, no worries! It’s a great excuse to put off the house projects. =)
