Last week we had some friends in town..Extra Action Marching Band! They played down at Dante's on Saturday evening then went to Rotture for the BlowPony. My husband knows most of the band so they stayed at our house for a few days after the Gay Pride Weekend in Portland. They didn't have a gig till thursday in Olympia, so they stayed in Portland for a few days. They practiced in the park on monday evening (the large box is from the new grill I bought my husband for his birthday and was used as a drum during practice), at one point I looked over at all the people on the pedestrian overpass and in the park watching the band practice. It was a fun impromptu event that brought the neighbors together. Isn't that what a park is all about? An open space provided for recreational use....we use our park almost every day to walk the kitties, show movies or watch a marching band. We live in a magical city that allows us the freedom to do this type of thing, my husband calls it a bubble. We live in a magical bubble that has wonderful food, great civic interactions and best of all great weather.
