How Do You Get To The American Folk Festival?

Practice.

*crickets*

Or the Shuttle Bus.

Some opening day images can be found here.

The 2006 American Folk Festival

Just a few of the faces of people responsible (all of who demanded to remain simply anonymous volunteers) for bringing the American Folk Festival to the Bangor Waterfront.

Complete non-Thing of the Moment coverage can be found here.

And LIVE AUDIO STREAMING can be found HERE.

And more photos of it than you'd ever WANT to see by your lowly and humble photographic servant can be seen HERE.

Rite of Passage

This is my newly 18 year old niece sstout's tattoo. She held a gun to my head and made me post this to further rub in everyone's face that she's now an adult. Her parents are less than delighted at this first of presumably thousands of tattoos. I understand how they feel as parents. I once had 3 goldfish. None of which got tattoos.

Fire Breather

That's gonna take a Mentos. I wanted a photo from the front but didn't have my camera with the zoom or my pair of Dr. Hellfire's Asbestos Eyebrow Protectors®.

The Million Dollar View

The Chiputneticook Lake International Conservency Memorial Traffic Turnout and Scenic Overlook Overlooking the Locally Designated And Folk Loreishly Named "Million Dollar View" Incorporated LLC All Rights Reserved. *whew*
The Good folks at CLIC established this little turn out with one of those cool Tower Optical viewer things to enjoy said Million Dollar View...
...and the best part?
It's FREE!

They don't want your stinking quarters, half of which would be Canadian anyway and therefore not worth rolling. They just want you to see their pretty lakes. As opposed to...

The Twenty Five Cent View

This is Lincolnville, Maine. And above you can see the ferry terminal and the M/V Margaret Chase Smith.
Lincolnville Beach.
But you don't want to wake up next to it out of season. If you catch my drift.
Somehow I don't think my quarter is going to get me the Million Dollar View. And it SHOULD read, for best results remove eyeglasses and slowly back away.

Confessions of a Premature Epostulator

This is the version of the web shot that was supposed to accompany the earlier post with the pig. I had been advised by photoblog advisor torekimi to crop out the ugly white distraction on the side and posted it incorrectly.

Today's Tuesdays Photos theme of Network allows me to post the corrected version and now with The Thing of the Moment Lite you don't have the other poor cropped one staring your in your face.

These are some folks from my afterschool/summer gig at the Hospital. Tom here used to be a peer before he took over upper management but years before that he USED to be a carnie!

Not quite a BOW let alone a double bow like Svetlana Anything-jkirlin-can-do I-can-do-better Tazhetdinova's. Can my photos of Unicorns and Flying Ponies be far behind? I think you know the answer.

As an aside, does anyone know how long a microwave is supposed to last? I bought mine in 1991 for 80 bucks and now it seems to be on the fritz. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Oh, one more thing. That Pot of Gold? I think it's the WalMart in Brewer. When I go to get that new microwave I'll try to get a shot from the bottom! Looking UP. Svetlana I-got-the-coolest-sounding-name-EVER Tazhetdinova doesn't have one of THOSE I bet.

'Sgonnabe cool.
