12:41 AM: leeann's visit [#] [0]

i am quite far behind retelling the month's events: visits & holidays take up a lot of time! here's the first installment, the last week of june:

* i helped a persian gymnast fluent in 4 languages carry his bag up the hill near michaelmas' place

* michaelmas & i celebrated our 10th anniversary! :*

* leeann visited: we visited multnomah falls (alas, on the day it rained!), we saw kim at powell's, attended the 31 show, visited 23sandy, did the poetry bridgewalk tour (which included talking to the morrison bridge operator and watching the counterweight swing from the inside), went to saturday market, rode the tram, checked out 10 tiny dances at the south waterfront (interesting dances included "Wet?," "See/Spot/Run," and "Project X," where i wrote about needing to contribute to consumer spaceflight), a collective letterpress yard sale, scrap, lark press, and pix. we ate homemade crepes, oatmeal, french toast, and at the restaurant at multnomah falls (they have surprisingly good onion rings), sushiville, pho van, and the little red bike cafe (i wanted pok pok or nutshell, but they didn 't work out).

here's a little movie i took of the morrison bridge counterweight swinging as the bridge is lifted! it's the whole thing, so about 5 minutes; the person walking in and out of frame is the leader of the poetry bridgewalk. my camera apparently only takes 3 minutes of video at a time, so there's a little glitch where i had to splice two videos together.


(but i don't know why it's doing this weird double video thing. just look at the first one: the second one looks like a rtsp call for no good reason. a little help?)
