Wrapping The Week

Friday, October 26, 2012



Last night's Kick Ass Awards were amazing and yet another reminder of how so many people in this town seriously rock. After nine years, I think I'm finally getting the hang of presenting and was way less nerevous than in previous years. I gave awards to Turner Center for the Arts and Pint Size Bakery. I realized too, that I may be the only one who consistently gives out food related awards--The Cupcake Project, SweetArt Cafe, and now Pint Size. But food is so related to a sense of community. It just makes sense to me. I love being introduced through this event, to so many new people, projects, and ideas. And we had some total firecrackers. The venue, The Heavy Anchor, is a bar I would definately go back to, if I still went out to bars. Another sparkling KAA.

This afternoon, Audrey and I head to the country. We'll be hanging out at my parent's place for a couple of nights while they are away on a short anniversary trip. I'm looking forward to enjoying their fireplace. Sunday we will probably Trunk or Treat. I know I've shared the photo above before, but I just love it so much. Planet of the Ape (Jeff), Rosie the Robot (me), and Evil Knievel (Tony).
