Piet Indoor Stove





Look what I found on Kitsune Noir...the Piet Indoor Stove. It is designed to burn ethanol and produces zero smoke, thereby eliminating the need for a chimney. Oh how cozy...

bedlam














Adam snapped these photos at the Bedlam Theater this weekend.
Good times were had by all.
I saw this swell musician. His live performance was a heart beat raiser.
We danced and made merry late Saturday.
The best part was when everyone on the dance floor danced as one and when Mark became the leader, he led everyone through a ninja roll. A ninja roll! Everyone did it simultaneously without hesitation! Luckily, I was on a dancing break and got to witness this gem. Seriously, how did that happen so perfectly? I wish I had a video.
Good job, Mark.
