after many months, i recently finished making





and over the weekend i attended



this festival is organized around the story of bredo, a norwegian man who was shipped to the u.s. by his grandson who then had him cryogenically frozen. the grandson was deported and amidst the controversy that ensued with the locals upon discovering that there was a frozen dead body hanging around, the company tuff shed stepped in to house bredo, while his family still spends quite a bit of money to keep him on dry ice. now a local festival sponsored by tuff shed is organized around this story. i went saturday, and the highlights were the hearse parade, polar plunge, and the coffin races. an actor from belgium was there, entering in all the races while being taped for a tv show.



i did not get to tour bredo's home ($25!) or drink the dead guy ale. but i did get some postcards, caught a snippet of the film made about it, and saw my future pet, a super grey alpaca.



i'm leaving for baltimore in the morning. i'll be there from wednesday night until saturday morning, then in new york till the following saturday. i'll have some work and some play to do, but mostly play. any suggestions on events of interest? i'll probably have little access to a computer on this trip, so i'll post my cell phone number in my journal if anyone feels like calling.
