dear droppings,
small goat night afoot.

Mark Gsellman rocks.

Rhinestone love and a nice shot of the turtle with Dave's extraordinary seaweed marquis.
The Baron

The beautiful and wildly successful work of Zanetka Gawronski.

Steve Weinberg with Paundy reading Pie.

Paul is turning 40 in this shot.
I am choosing to keep most folks anonymous here, but this is the Clamanator: Damn the Clamanator.

I seem to be enjoying Lydia's impromptu gig. What a voice.
Thanks to Mark Gsellman for the use of these wonderful pictures.

A magnanamous start.

There is something to be said for beginnings.
The Turtle christening was full on:
A wonderful show by Zanetka Gawronski
leaped from the walls and into peoples cars,
Rather impressive herd of Elephants(R) graced the goat, a beautiful Young comic got her start,
Paundy managed yet another mission control center in the woods, A large man named Shaun was doppledganged by a drunken version of himself rendering him deeply un-drunk in comparison ( a new Rule has been instituted fining all that fall 10 bucks- 20 if they take another down, 30 if they are over 250 pounds), rob recorded steve using a portion of the original controls from Sputnik, Dave's gorgeous seaweed marquis glowed above, Rhinestones blew people away and should never ever tune that Ukulele, Eli brought his moonshine and with the help of a rather misleading chap named Spencer the "Clamanator" was born and hopefully died, Christine TCB'd, My son found Eli and Amanda in the attic of the goat in the morning and he was convinced the building was capable of birthing mythical lumberjacks overnight, Mr. Arntson helped me come to celebrate failure, Before Cars sounded just fantastic and were meant to play the new space, Lydia plays an impromptu set that felt planned, Jeff Patricio seamlessly knit it all together with B side Samba love and pulled the plug as per usual in my absence, A Steve Weinberg was mistaken for Steve Gutenberg. Dan L was sighted NW of Agate pass. Belle still has a beautiful voice.

I am still cleaning. What is with people? While world peace and a stable economy is a pipe-dream can we concentrate on not just opening beers and leaving them in the weeds untouched.

Ps. I honestly meant to tell people that the intention of the turtle is to allow local musicians to play and pass a hat from time to time in order to make local music a reality.

I never actually saw Doug; Clamanator?
And Hey, did anyone get to use the outhouse? Was it good?
