Missing Herself at Zoka

Hey all,

Alece is living it up in Maryland this weekend and this guy:



Is getting some work done at Cafe Zoka. Not a terrible consolation prize really. The Northwest Folklife festival was this weekend and were Alece here we'd almost certainly be living it up there, though this year there are no Scissor Dancers! Someone did, however, get shot.

In the context of folk life, one does not often shoot a stranger. On a city block, a public space where strangers cross paths; sure. But in earlier days I don't think there was much shooting of strangers. If I were a folk life critic, I'd go as far as to say that the festival broke a cardinal norm of the genre. We weren't there when it happened and according to the news they're fine, so that's good on two counts. But come on, that doesn't often happen here. The Needle is usually channeling good vibes.

That's all I've got - back to real work, thanks for reading. Reading is good, work's good, playing the last two videogames that Alece got me (Smash Brothers and Mariokart) has been cool. Now accepting suggestions for blog posts, as things are quietly great for Alece and I.
