On Friday we went to the opening party for the new Vivace on Capitol Hill in the Brix Building. The new space is really cute. I think I could get into it. It doesn’t look out over the park though like at the old timey Vivace, it looks out over a giant hole in the earth on the other side of Broadway, but, eh? Maybe it will feel “urban” next time I am in there drinking a cup of coffee and chatting with a pal. Here is some IPhone photography of the event.

Only a few days left! EEK! On Friday we were lucky enough to help out at a fundraising luncheon featuring Al Gore on behalf of Christine Gregoire at the Sheraton downtown. Al Gore is an amazing speaker and he touted Governor Gregoire as a serious leader in the future of climate change. So, do your part and vote Gregoire on Tuesday!

We like HUGE things. Most things can benefit from shrinking them, making them giant and/or anthropomorphising them. Dreamcatchers are a great example of something that we think is awesome that can only become more awesome by supersizing. Here are a few “making of” photos to get you thinking. Oh, and who wants to be a dreamcatcher for Halloween? I think we can help! P.S. This is Morgane’s first dreamcatcher! She’s a natural.
