The day rolled mellowly along, to the excellent soundtrack provided by Sharon Rogers, David Bowers and Kay Rose. And then the energetic arc of the stage took a giant leap upwards with Ishianna and the Foundation. Ishi and Ianna, backed up by members of Eleven Eyes and Disco Organica - how could that be anything but fabulous? They were so much fun to watch, their stage chemistry is great!
Vega wrapped up the stage day with a great set as well. I got a new little FlipVideo camera for the Market, and took several videos of songs- from David Bowers, Kay Rose and Vega. It's going to take me a while to find the best spot for the audio to sound good, and using the tripod should help with fuzzyness, but it's a leap forward - it's so simple to use and upload! I hope to start getting out and about wandering and chatting with folks and increasing my video library on the web for all to see. You can find the latest here at the Market's YouTube channel.
This weekend, the Olympic Trials start, and everyone is anxious to see what will happen at Market. Will they find us? Will they like us? Will they buy our stuff? We sure do hope so. Signs of the hoopla are starting to crop up everywhere. Yesterday afternoon I noticed a guy with a big, fancy video camera on a tripod out on Broadway, filming a couple of Goth kids crossing the street. They looked pretty much like movie characters, all in black and the girl had a big bright red umbrella. "Oh, some local somebody making a movie!" I thought. Then the guy stood up and I saw the huge NBC Sports logo on his back and realized, no, he's just out here to get some Eugene footage, and fortunately Eugeneans in downtown are appropriately picturesque! I sure hope they have fun here, there's so much to see and do, and we are all quite photogenic!!

Really awesome show you guys,
keep up the awsesome production.
Thank you for uplifting me and bring joy into my life. It's great to dance every now and then, ya know? Like to feel the beat and get the feet moving in syncronicity to something live, it is a wonerful combination of voices that you two bring to this world and may that wonder produce more feelings of belief in our economy, more liveliness in our society, and more radical action in our communities inspired by truth, that we need each other now more than ever and our firm action towards unity is supported and respected. What is an act of unity? Can we demonstrate such a gift with a nonviolent level of courage? Can we actively engage our hearts and minds free of ill-will? People these days are so capable of being involved in community without letting egos get carried away.
