ellenaterMemberI didn’t see that. Are you maybe thinking of Artis the Spoonman? Sounds like something he would do. We didn’t see Bubbleman from top to bottom, though.

GinaParticipantI see on the main page that my private parking space will be occupied by frozen doughnuts. Fair trade off, I guess. Good to see north of Oregon getting more attention!

ToddinWestwoodMemberCOFFIN BREAK!! OMG! Its been sooooo long since I have seen them.

SueParticipantZenguy, according to this page, it’s the same Bubbleman: http://www.bubbleman.com/events.html I wish I’d known – I enjoy him every year at the Solstice parade.

ChessaMemberWe were there for bubbleman, too! We just stumbled upon it on a walk, so bonus. What a hoot. He talked a little much, but since I agreed with all of his politics I was ok with it. ;)

ellenaterMemberChessa,
Ya the kiddies were just there for the bubbles. But you figure they’re getting programmed the other way all the time so some reversals are in order. He reminded me a lot of Eugene.

JoBParticipantI just got back from touring the opening hours of Summerfest…
no music.. but most of the vendors were open and the crowds were definately manageable.
i saw kids, dogs, wheelchairs.. and a lot of tired happy people.
I did stop by WSB.. they are behind the computer at the Chamber of Commerce booth.. but only Patrick was in and he was busy helping hang the signs for the booth.
Hubby and i will likely do some cruising after the farmers market on sunday…
I had great fun..
Sadly.. no hot dog mess.. just the juice from two matador tacos on the bottom of my shirt and down my skirt… the taste was worth it.
i think i have to go over on first to get my hot dog… i just didn’t see one that made my heart sing and since i only do one or two a year.. i want bang for my buck:)

JoBParticipantChessa..
they have a booth that will gladly show your children plastic representations of the fetus at various stages of development…
all the while explaining why it is wrong to kill babies.
i didn’t see him juggle them though.

AdmiralJanewayParticipantI also had Matador tacos for lunch. Very tasty! Jones Soda Co. was giving away cans of pop at their booth.

SueParticipantI’m headed over there right from work – as long as I’m on the bus from downtown I figured I’ll just get off over there instead, wander about, have some dinner, then walk home. A perfect Friday night.

TheVelvetBulldogMemberJust a bump and a reminder to come visit me at the West Seattle Food Bank booth from 10-12 today (Saturday) and buy a raffle ticket to support our fabulous Food Bank!!! Well ok, visit the food bank booth at any time this weekend… :-)

WSBKeymasterOh good, there’s the photo op I was looking for at the Food Bank booth … have mentioned the raffle tickets several times already but wanted to get the booth itself – will probably run by when Junior Member and I get there sometime after shooting the Ercolini Park ribboncutting at 10:30 (Patrick will be in “our” booth in the meantime; today we have to alternate because there are other things offsite to shoot) … The Food Bank booth btw as I mentioned in a front page blurb is on the east side of the street in the block between Alaska and Edmunds ..

walfredoMemberEllenater- Nice! I saw the bubbleman yesterday, and I was a Duck and know Eugene well… I actually grew up in Santa Cruz, not sure if he reminded me more of Eugene or Santa Cruz, but I definitely know where you are coming from!
Personally, I was a bit frightened by the bubbleman and his car, but the kids seemed to love him, and if the parents don’t care, why on earth should I?

guidosmomMemberWe were there this afternoon and had a great time. We’ll be back Sun morning. I didn’t see a WSB booth or anyone? Where is it?
We had kind of a bad experience with a creepy possibly drunk or high man over by the food area who trying to talk to us about very inappropriate subjects. He had a very cute dog but provided no water for it and it kept getting lose from him. :(

ZenguyParticipantEnjoyed the Fest and donated at the food bank (I complained that my friend was donating with my money) a great day.

SueParticipantguidosmom, the WSB people are at the information booth right at Alaska/California – right in front of Super Supplements. It’s a U-shaped booth, and they are on the part that is facing north. You’ll see a laptop (or 2) open with “westseattleblog.com” on the lid, and you’ll know you found them! I saw Patrick there a little while ago (didn’t stop by since he was chatting with others and I already bugged them on Friday :)

guidosmomMemberBummer, I must have walked right past and didn’t notice. :( What a nice day it was today!

WSMomParticipantI think this was the nicest Summer Fest yet! Nice crowd, fun booths, good blowup rides for the little ones. Way to go West Seattle!!
