Burning Man

Mr. Sysfail put up this link http://www.groundedmedianetwork.com/fuck-burning-man/ and it struck a chord in my wittle bwain. Never been a fan of the Burning Man. Too gassy and hard druggy for my liking. Being confused for Burning man on the streets is one of the few things that give me road rage. I have seen it actually distract and or dissolve movements that were working fine. On the other hand. I like when straight laced, mostly square middle class folks do get to go someplace and act like we do every day for a little bit. I would much rather my lawyer/ judge/ teacher etc. have been to Burning man. They have better perspective and I get a fair shake. Some people need it. Activists DON'T.

Early Morning gig, clowning for a running event

It's the Run Like Hell running event in Portland's Pioneer Square.



We are the mayors of kid zone and we start and end the kids race.
 Good times watching the sun never come up in Stumptown.


Portland is so quiet at dark thirty.Gotta get there really early.

It's a cold morning and a long ride away. I got halfway there before I realized. I'm not dressed for this much cold wind. I had to just suck it up and I promised myself to scream bloody murder later, right now I gotta focus on not slipping off the pedals and bars.




Olive is way on her game setting up the free rootbeer, coloring and craft stations.

The theme this year was "Fairies and Unicorns" Olive built me this fine unicorn horn but it was quickly absconded by a cute little kid in ninja drag.

trucking Olive to the turnaround point


Headed a half mile to the starting line.


They are required to slap Olive 5 before turning back to finish the race. This kid said "we are not the children you are looking for"







Today our co-operative is Jessica Cornelius she is in charge of logistics, security, rabble rousing...and if she has time..face painting. You may recognize her as the culprit that drew that fine coloring page/flier everyone loves so much. 

Luckily all four volunteers they gave us were related.

Stoked that now i get to see our kidsl


fan art!!!!

Is our stuff too junky even for you losers?

Lots of thefts in the neighborhood lately. I actually saw two bike thieves but didn't know till later. Next time I will interrogate better. One thing I will ask is "Why do you guys always pass our stuff? 

Frogman interviewed us on WEIRD-LANDIA

I hoped a frog would bring us to Public telivision for the first time,
I was delighted it turned out to be an Oregon grown one.

I love Portland free boxes. So much of the coolest stuff I ever brought home came from random boxes of stuff people put out. Today I found t...
