Today a kiddo was so excited she cracked the car's front windsheild with her little head.

Today a kiddo was so excited she cracked the car's front windsheild with her little head.
 It was outside our Pie Spot Pie Shop gig. She was no worse for wear. She thought it was funny. 

Mom says it's a loaner car since her husband got rear-ended in the family hoopty just yesterday. 
Our first show (At 2 sisters cafe) was packed but the second one at Pie Spot only drew two. 
Normally we would pass out a couple balloons and thankyous then split but these two were superfans. They could write our setlists for us if they wanted to. 
There is no way we will let them down. 
We did a show for them on the tables outside Pie Spot and performed like it was for hundreds. Passersby looked confused. Lots of people driving by waved. I had an enchanted time
. Everyday feels like a movie but today looked like it as well with the sporadic rain showers filling the air with smells and colors. Olive was radiant and incredible to watch as usual.

 Flamingo balloon. wonder where the kid got that idea?

 We love the Pie Spot. We love the story about them building a bakery up from a food cart. The pie shells were created to not need much packaging. It's great. They also pay us well even though we don't often pack em in. They pay us double what most do. They treat us like royalty. The great thing is that they will treat you just as well when you walk in the door, My fave is the Chicken Pot pie. There's no pot in it but I love that dish anyway. #PieSpot https://www.pie-spot.com/

Fly to pie ride, rad Dad bikes and Portlandia

We met at a Portland park for a little kid ride. Our delightfully costumed friends were waiting for us as we showed up. Olive's bike had a busted tire so we ended up being a bit late (sorry friends). As we waited for others to show up a smiling fellow approached and greeted us " Hi Dingo!". I soon found out he was a crew member from Portlandia. They were taping right behind us. He invited us over to say hi. 

They were taping a dark themed scene. They told us the plot but it's not our story to tell so I will let them tell it. Great seeing our friends and lots of Portland crew employed with out of state green-backs, thats what I like to see. 

I went ahead to set the show up and Olive led the tiny ride.

Lots of folks turned out for the show so it was a lively event over at the Pie Shop. It was so busy I forgot to get one of the most important parts of the day....I forgot to eat some pie. LOL

This wonderful rig was getting it's first solo ride today. It's designed for disaster relief. If something like a natural disaster or anything that upsets the infrastructure of P-town this will be one of the only things on the road. I have seen enough of these things around to have some confidence. I remember during a big freeze one year, my spin bike was the only thing that could move over the ice and snow burms.

They let me ride this and it was challenging. It handles a lot like a boat. You an't feel a turn right away and it feels like floating. I almost crashed but it wouldn't let me. The trick to this monster is to be going pretty fast. Then it purred like a kitten.

then this happened
