i got to hang out at sarah’s birthday party last weekend. she was so enthralled with her big bunch of balloons that i think i saw her set them down one time the whole time i was there and it only involved trying to eat cake and hold balloons at the same time- which can be a tricky combo. she was lucky enough to have a puppet show at her party also which was a pretty cute scene. overheard from a little girl in the audience when the giraffe appeared on stage, “he talks!”
some of my buddies came over today for some pics in their most awesome costumes. the cuteness was almost too much to take and everybody was totally up for it- i guess having a bowl of candy on the counter doesn’t hurt. the last one is the softer side of the incredible hulk.
so i had this thought that it would be fun to see all the kiddos in their costumes this year so i’m going to have a little photo booth set up at my place on halloween from 1pm to 4pm. it will be a simple set up- a white background for cute pictures of your kids in their costumes. pictures are free but i’m also going to have a donation jar set out for soulumination, which is an amazing non-profit here in seattle that does some very heartfelt work, so i’m hoping to be able to send some change their way. please let me know if you might be interested in coming and i can send you directions. i would love to see you all.
i was lucky enough to get to take my friend libby’s place and photograph the michael pollan lecture at benaroya hall on monday night for seattle arts and lectures. he gave a very interesting talk on his latest book “in defense of food”. he proposes that we move away from the “edible foodlike substances” we consume (snackwells, anyone?) and move towards eating real food- the kinds of foods your great grandmother would have eaten. he suggests that the simplest way to cut through all of the confusion of what to eat is to follow this simple seven word mantra: eat food. not too much. mostly plants.
props to everyone for rocking the photo booth. what a fun crowd. buckle in everybody, this is a long one and is only a taste of the magic.
