March Madness
|
A lot has gone on and this is my first shot at doing a bunch of events on one page. And now I find that I screwed up batch mode in Paint Shop Pro 8 - I resized my pictures in an experiment and it overwrote them all. Crap. So you will find these photos are not up to my normal standards. Glad I learned that lesson early in my PSP education!
Atomic Bear Press had a booth and I helped by giving him some bathroom and food breaks.
Here's Brian Kolm in all his glory! |
This is the view from the AB booth. |
You can see that there was quite a crowd for the show. David of Art Primadonna showed up with Gwen as well.
Citizen Kane lived up to its billing as one of the great movies of all time. We listened to some of the Ebert narrative and it was quite an education. It was interesting to learn about all the "tricks" employed. Today they seem tame, but for that day they left audiences spinning in their seats. |
Thanks to Denise for having yet another fun party to celebrate the new year. The crowd was lively and we shared stories with old friends. I don't know the woman on the left, but her earrings blinked, and so did her nipples. Ya gotta' love a party! |
The City of Campbell does a great job of local street celebrations. The cute downtown is easily blocked off and the merchants cooperate to bring people in. This time we showed up for St. Patrick's day. The crowd was nice and not too big. I like that small town feeling. |
On any Sunday downtown Campbell is set up for a local farmer's market. It used to be that any Sunday would find me at Orchard Valley Roasting Company. Seen here with Bob and Carolyn. I love the morning cafe life. |
However, this hidden structural warning is certainly troubling. So, the place is unsafe and we're letting you know by putting this small sign behind some plants. Huh. |
And I leave you with this view of snow in downtown Saratoga, California in March. At least it looks like snow. For two days each Spring the cherry blossom trees let go of their petals and a gentle wind whirls them to the ground. The detritus piles up in drifts and for those two days you would think it is snowing. Beautiful |
