Mood: Pleased and Perplexed
In December or January, I have an opportunity to do a show at a little cafe downtown. There is plenty of wall space, and I can pretty much put up what I like. The clientele is largely student/academic/whole-foods eating folks. This is the community of The Evergreen State College, if that tells you anything. Old hippies of the 60s know that what kids nowadays call hippies are not the way we were... but that's how my kids have always described the TESC community. There have been shows in this...

The Best Hot'n'Sour Soup in America!
If you love a good soup that'll cure anything that ails ya, it's here in Olympia, Washington at a nice bright little restaurant called ' Bamboo.' (The rest of their menu is excellent, too!) I have tried hot'n'sour soup cross country, and all over town, and I have never found any anywhere that is even close in deliciousness and wealth of ingredients! While we're here, I should mention a great little breakfast/lunch place in Colorado Springs: The Pike Grill is on Garden of the Gods Way near the...
