2011 has been a crazy, fun, chaotic, loosey goosey kind of year. It seems like somewhere around the start of wedding season, we stopped blogging because we were so busy with the fun stuffs. That just means we’re about five months behind on blogs (and I have no intention of letting some of those events [...]

Your occasion? Our event.
This year on Father’s Day Natasha surprised me with a trip to Safeco Field to watch the Mariners play the Philadelphia Phillies. Normally this Sunday is spent working at a wedding, as we had the previous day. This year we were free, so we packed the gear and headed into town to root for the local boys. The [...]
This past weekend we attended the 40th annual Northwest Folklife Festival held at Seattle Center. Folklife is one of the largest free folk festivals in the country, featuring nearly 7000 people celebrating with dance, art, crafts, poetry, food and more. The festival showcases the heritage of the Northwest and draws tens of thousands over the [...]
A few weeks ago we packed the gear and headed up to the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival to get our yearly dose of sunshine and flower petals. We had to go a bit later this year because the NW weather is not cooperating with the spring calendar. We were forced to watch the bloom update map for [...]
My birthday was a couple weeks ago, and I thought about just letting it ease by and not marking it with any evidence, but I’ve never been that kind of girl in the past, what’s the arrival of another decade going to change? Not me. Well…. No better way to ring in the cheer with [...]
Last Friday night was the Instructor Showcase for the 2011 Cues and Tattoos festival. Celebrating the use of improvisational choreography within Tribal Belly Dance the festival ran all weekend at several locations, featuring 22 workshops, 4 live performances, and an array of local and regional vendors. This was our second year attending the showcase at the [...]
Like most of the country if not the world, the Northwest has had a colder than usual winter. After suffering in silence for as long as humanly possible, we contacted the other members of the NRP photo team and headed south to Las Vegas for a little sunshine, fun and friends. That’s Natasha and Sam above [...]
Last weekend we attended the 2011 National Yo-Yo League PNW regional championships at the Seattle Center. The regionals split the country into nine competitive areas in an attempt to find the best competitors in each area of the nation. This was our second trip to the PNW regionals and it did not dissapoint. The competition takes place from [...]
Last night we attended the Whitney Monge CD release party at Local Color, a Pike Place coffee, art and music landmark. I first met Whitney in the summer of 2009 while shopping at Pike Place Market for some flowers. As I browsed the stalls, I heard the sound of a busker pouring her heart out [...]
“Hey, why don’t we go see the playoff game tomorrow?”…….Seemingly innocent words, but when you live in Seattle they are often the precursor to disappointment. Now, we ‘ve had a good year in Soccer, but pigskin football play has let us down. Until now. The Seattle Seahawks backed into the playoffs with a 7-9 record and [...]
We took a stroll through the Pike Place Market last week to visit some of our favorite haunts and have a quick lunch. They are renovating a large portion of the facility so a number of the businesses were forced into tents outside. Soft daylight is always the best and we took advantage of the [...]
Saturday, July 11th was the 20th anniversary of the Return to Renton Car show and cruise-in. The car, truck, and motorcycle benefit show is held to raise funds for the Renton Police department youth programs, while promoting the community and celebrating the city’s affection for automobiles and family fun. The car show was first held [...]
You can see the full gallery of parade shots here, warning the gallery contains nudity. A few weeks ago, we drifted downtown to find a seat for the Seattle Gay Pride Parade. One of the largest events in the Northwest, the parade has boasted crowd sizes up to 350,000 people. This year’s parade surely topped that [...]
Last Saturday we went to the Fremont Solstice Parade and Fair, here in Seattle. The parade is a salute to summer founded in 1972 and is one of the city’s most beloved events. The fair is held annually in June to coincide with the arrival of the Summer Solstice and draws more than 100, 000 [...]
