Tiny Dance

Loy and Bruce celebrated their new  hellbendre presse building with an open house. They haven't moved any equipment into the new space yet, so they were able to have a very small square dance (live music, even) led by the great Phil Jamison. There were just enough dancers for a square, and the whole thing was lit by the neon sign in the window. 

You never know...

You just never know what you might run into in the woods. 

Inflating steel

Elizabeth Brim and friends doing a steel inflation demonstration at the Fire on the Mountain Blacksmithing Festival. 

The piece is two sheets of steel, carefully welded together around the edges, with a pipe going into a small space in between them. It was heated up in a gas forge, and Elizabeth is blowing it up with compressed air--which you can do because hot metal is a lot softer than cold metal.  
 

Trombone Karaoke

This guy, accompanied by his little sound system, has been honking jazz standards on Main Street for years and years. 

How did that get there?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Unfortunately, we know the answer: it floated there.

Ransom Notes is a fun game, and you might want to click on this picture to make it bigger (especially if you are not looking at this on a phone) and read everything in this picture. 

The way the game works is that you have a random assortment of words and you have to use them to convey the message that is on the card, which is sitting in the middle of the picture. 

I think Schell took this picture.
