commute

one hour commute in 6 minutes. it's interesting to me anyway.....

going moore north

went to seattle for the weekend.....

stayed at the moore

took in a ball game.

chris and i making sure to keep our eyes open for the shot.

huh....

dave found the bathroom and appears to know how to use it.

this pretty much illustrates everything after (and before and during) the game.

soap box derby + gatorade/vodka + beer = fun!

adult soap box derby at mt. tabor park. hot as hades. good times.

this picture doesn't do it justice, but this stage is on wheels, cruising down the course and these three guys lip-synced the beastie boys. i think the guy crouching down with the guitar is actually steering with the guitar. next time they came through, it was gnr.

this dude's just got old school steez.

uh huh.

transformer soap box derby truck that actually.....


transformed.

yup.

picnic table, i think the guy steering is underneath thing. they were chuckin' food all the way down the course, one of my favorites.

this just turned out to be a cool pic.

not a seat. total rebel.

this was amazing, the picture is nowhere near doing the act proper justice. first, this is a grown-ass man in a radio flyer with a cigarette in his mouth. second, the hill is STEEP! third, the hill is long and he was movin', i think he had to crash to stop the thing, but by that time, he was out of view.

yum.

dave's new shirt that he won just before the event is pretty sweet, but it's missing a lot of the classics. silver spoons anyone?

not a minute too soon, our saviors. danny and jen show up with reinforcements. the ice and 18-wheeler of the champagne of beers that they brought lasted about 4.8 minutes.

lonely guy at the lucky lab after the derby.

5 for the price of 1

so, i've been especially lazy with this blogging crap, so i've got some catching up to do. so, below are pics from 5 different, debatably, photo-worthy events.

no. 1 - boat day for my birthday celebration, July 26th.

what the hell could she be doing?


nice cans!


daniel being daniel.



no. 2 - red bull flutag, august 2nd (daytime).

chris and i shortly after a small incident involving an uncoordinated skater resulting in my head v. a light post...no worse for the wear, fortunately.

all these people were here....

...as was this guy.



no. 3 - lyric's birthday, august 2nd (evening).
bustin' out some biz.





no. 4 - roller derby, aug. 9.

the baby bjorn is the new black.

suck it!

koa and gunner takin' in the bout.

derby's newest fan, complete with skull leg warmers.

everyone was happy these friends could make it.

she walked right through my shot, but you can see the skater through her beer....artsy-fartsy.

let's start this shit!

a series of grace in what could be her last bout (tbd as of the writing of this).

the future of the guns 'n rollers! koa and grace....koa is still in training for "throwin' up the horns."



no. 5 - moto day at willamina, aug. 10, 2008.

dc, tearing it up!

dc, the aftermath of a fun, but rough day.
