So, work is coming along.

Today was the Fremont Fair, with the Solstice parade. There’s some pics of the painted naked bikers from the Stranger here. Search Flickr for “Fremont Solstice“ for more. I just found out a friend of mine helped make and operate Clement VII with the puppeteer Brian Kooser. A pic from someone’s flickr account here.

I didn’t go there, but my friend joined me for a journey through the Moore Theater. The Free Sheep Foundation got ahold of the Moore Theater, and turned it into a one night arts event of art about the theater. As usual for arts events, the Stranger tells it best.

Apparently organizers were expecting somewhere around 1500 people maybe. By the time we got there there were 3000 people. Performances by various people, including Orkestar Zirconium (who led a mini-parade to the after party in Belltown).

The best part of the whole thing was how topsy-turvy and open to exploration it was. With no backdrop the audience for musicians and art stood around the backstage as well as in the seats. Art was among the seats, above them, projected on the walls to the sides and backstage. Lead Pencil Studio’s “Exit Ramp” connecting the backstage to the balcony was my favorite individual piece because it cemented and symbolized the open and participatory self reflectiveness of the event.
