weekend report.

Yet another wonderfully gluttonous weekend, I think we are all instinctively storing food like a bunch of squirrels before winter...or bears. yes...big scary bears! grrr. Friday was an evening of exploring our collective cultural heritage. (Read more on that here - may have to scroll down a bit...)



Not only is the food and drink most excellent at the Dakota Inn, but the decor is top notch, including some amazingly wrong paintings like the above the early bird catches the worm .. um...OW! Copious amounts of schnitzel, Warsteiner and umpa singing sure was a proper excursion into our German lineage. This was followed by a trip to the land of Blavod, and then to planet Rowdy (er...OSLO.)

After a blissfully relaxing saturday afternoon/evening (heh), i headed off to catch Xanopticon and God and His Bitches over in Eastern Market, and as usual they had some excellent installations around the loft, not to mention quite a good crowd!



And finally today we were up quite early (everything in this world is relative) and had an incredible brunch at Toast (more gluttony) followed by a trip up to Stony Creek Orchard & Cider Mill. (I think I know where I'm going to be spending time this week. heh.) The weather was perfect for a long drive out on dirt roads...have I mentioned loving Fall yet? And we picked a perfect cider mill - this one had an adjoining haunted house/forest walk thing that wasn't open yet but needed exploration anyway. It's warning was fabulous:



After playing hookie all afternoon, it was time for some studio work, I came back home to my brilliant feline companion, who is just about as good at staying out of trouble as I am.
