OH! The Things You Will See!!!

Last Sunday we went to the Folk Life Festival in Seattle, I love the FLF mostly because it's one of the only times of the year that I get to go to "The City" and I love the energy of the city so much, but mostly I love the freaks. Steve says that I'm a "freak magnet" I'm not sure how true that is, but I'm pretty sure that it's not a bad thing.

The following is a pictorial of our day at FLF.

This is the cool plaid SUV we saw on the way, the bumper sticker says Scottish Pride

This puppet was singing You Should Be Swinging on a Star


This chick has issues, she loves squirrels so much she had one tattooed on her leg




What a cool group, they reminded me of a bunch of singing pirates, except for the drummer, he reminded me of a homeless person or a caveman and Mary Kay Latourno there in the dress played the bamboo pipes with flip flops
  
Space Needle


This is the mirror man, I know it looks like a statue, but he's a performer


Look closely you'll see that's not his beard in the pony, it's his hair tied under his chin


 
Another street performer, look how skinny he is

He was wearing an old UW Huskies cheer leading skirt.... SO HOT

It wasn't especially warm, probably about 60, I think the kid in the rain coat has the right idea





I bought this cool wine rack at the Packwood Flea Market on Saturday for $4.50




Monday we bought a bunch of flowers to plant in hanging baskets, I always over-buy and wound up having to make some new flower beds too.
