Portland and Olympia

3.12.06
We are in Olympia, Washington, about to do a screening at Evergreen College. The campus is right in the middle of the forest and it is beautiful. It reminds me of the UC-Santa Cruz campus in that way. The Evergreen Infoshop is hosting us here, and we are getting paid $50 which will help us out since the alternator going out in the car cost us $350.00!!!
Here is the room we are showing the doc. in:


Last night we showed the documentary as part of opening night for the Microcosm Publishing Ten Year Anniversary Celebration. It was an honor to be included in the celebration because Microcosm is such a great project/resource for independent publishing. I had helped them set up shows the last couple times they passed through Denver and always really appreciate the different projects they were putting out.



The zine readers for the evening were really great. Cindy Crabb, who does the zine Doris, Dave Roche from the zine “On Subbing,” and Christy Rhoad who has a novel that is being published by Microcosm and coming out this month. They were all amazing readers and I’m glad that we got a chance to see them and to be a part of the same event.

This morning we went out to breakfast with Ayla and her mom at the Vita Café. I got vegan biscuits and gravy and Courtney got vegan French toast and then we shared. It was pretty good, but I like the Paradox better, aesthetically and food-wise.

Here is a picture of a view from portland from the Hawthorne bridge, which I walked across the other day.


We have been staying with our friend Thomas, who used to live in Denver. He's been a great host, who drew the most amazing map of Portland with cool things to do and see.



We left Portland at around noon and got to Olympia really quickly. We are going to stay with Henderson, which will be fun.
