RENT

This was the very fist time I have ever seen RENT, as well as the first production I have ever seen in the Ferndale Repertory Theater. I saw it with some lovely ladies from North Star Quest camp. It was awesome. It lasted about 3 hours. The acting, singing and set design were Terrific. There were parts where I had to try really hard not to cry. I totally recommend seeing it if you get the chance.

Humboldt County Redwood Roller Derby

I did not have my camera so I had to take this picture from the Time-Standard article. The first bout of the night was between the Redwood Rollers (the local team) and the Silicon Valley. The KillaBytes won 259 to 121. The second bout was between the Humboldt Roller Derby All-Stars and the Silicon Valley Dot.Kamikazes. The HRD All-Stars won 125 to 75. Yeah!

The Pirates of Penzance

Humboldt Light and Opera Company put on The Pirates of Penzance. The show itself was terrific. Before the show even started there was a pirate variety act outside to entertain people waiting in line for their tickets. Honestly, I went a half hour early on purpose just to see a friend of mine play songs from Muppet Treasure Island on the accordion (with all the children singing along of course).

Due I think in part to my excessive enthusiasm for the pre show I was invited to go back stage after the show. I got to clime all over the pirate ship "Tender Heart" in high heals, and learn how all the props were made. It was an awesome night.

Humboldt County Fair

I left work a couple hours early to go to the first day of the fair. It was so much fun. I saw bunnies, cows, sheep, goats, fiends, Guy Fieri (Food Network star), a bird show, skateboard tricks, all sorts of locally grown plants and hand made arts and crafts. Plus I got to eat curly fies made in front of me with a drill, and learn about tsunamis. Supposedly there was turkey racing but I missed it :( There is always next year.

North Star Quest Camp

I just got home from a wonderful week at North Star Quest Camp. I got to meet amazing people, watch shooting stars cross the night sky, eat tasty vegan meals, and dress as a clown. Who could possibly ask for more?
