I'm Famous!

Well only 3 weeks into the new city and already I'm in the local paper. I went to the local brass band practice last friday and while they were breaking up for the summer the drummer suggested I go and volunteer for the arts festival parade. So I went down to parade headquarters, alas they had enough drummers already but just the sight of the props workshop was enough to distract me from my dissapointment. I mentioned my design degree and signed up as a workshop volunteer instead, on my first day in the workshop a photographer came and snapped a few pics of the boss. My legendary lense pulling power it seems is not limited to the Army news!

This evening Emmett came along with me to volunteer also and had such a good time he's found a new way to fill his days. The people are all really nice and very trusting - they give you a job and you do it. We've signed up to help on parade day as well, it would seem we're gluttons for punishment.

So below is the famous photo and a couple of others we thought you'd like.

ka kite,
