Aoife and I were given a “make a pillow” class for Greenbaum’s Quilted Forest by its owner, Sylia, so we spent 10:30-1 doing just that! Definitely an accomplishment as it was a test in patience for both Aoife and I, but still, we had fun.

After the pillow class, we headed to Bush Park for the 1st Annual Capitol City Couch Races. Culture Shock’s project “L.I.P.S.S.” (Live Interactive Performance Series of Salem) created their version of the “Death Mobile” from Animal House as a promo for our upcoming live and interactive Animal House. It was great to see the creativity put into the various couches, and to watch them barrel through the park. Although LIPSS did not win any trophies for speed, they appropriately won the “Food Fight”, which was some messy fun! I kept my distance.

I already have ideas for participating next year, and I’ve been told the date is already set…August 4, 2012, you will know where to find me!
