Bins Run
Monkey Sew went to the goodwill bins and picked up some new goodies. Plus a little extra goodness just because it's the bins.
Now for a shameless plug for
The crew at xtraCycle desserves so much for their tireless efforts at improving the lives of those car-free. Sixty pounds of clothing and other great goodies was nothing packed on the back of the xtraCycle, might have well as been taking a scenic ride through the park.
Deep gratitude is felt for those folks that tranform regular bicycles into power-hauling human-powered machines.

Alberta Street Art Hop
It is summertime and people are in the streets. Yesterday was the Alberta Street Art Hop in North Portland. Monkey Sew descended on the scene bringing the booth on two bike trailers and an extra Cycle.

The chicks are now pullets and they have names.
Sexy Foxy Brown, Trish, Lou Ann, and Madonna
Equip with a new run, the girls are happy to play on the ladder leading into the coup without the risk of cats, dogs, raccoons, weasels, or Molly. They are safe and happy, living a couped up life of water, scratch and food scraps.
Of course, the neighbor called in the city and they assessed the coup and run and gave a warning of $100/day fine for having more than three chickens without permit. The permit costs $30/year and requires approval of the landlord and the neighbors. Right.
Watch out girls, chicken dinner might be on the menu. Going to invite the neighbor.
whole earth festival
Traveled down to sunny Davis, California for the Whole Earth Festival with Gabe and Natalie-- Monkey Sew Monkey Do!
Natalie arranged a rental car, "do you have anything that will make my penis look bigger?" and we drove down in a ford f-150, saving gas by coasting in neutral down the passes between Portland and Davis.
We stayed with Dr. Mick and his two cats, one of which lit himself on fire and shits on his tail.
We set up our booth sharing it with Dana and Coral and Rachel and Micheal Starchild. Dana and Coral are talent designers pioneering the "AWEAR" line of fairy-raver-festival-prom-clothes from bamboo and soy fibers. Did I mention their talents? Rachel creates feathered hair clips that embody a gourmet flavor of fun, classy and whimsical.
Micheal Starchild is a living hero among mankind, he is godly. 66 years old he sculpts raw copper into precious, awe inspiring jewelery. But, he hasn't owned a car for 49 years and travels by way of bicycle, anywhere. He was on a bike trip in Peru where he had ridden two days into remote country and found that the only possible passing across a torrent river was the washed out bridge. After backtracking, without food for three days, he decided to engineer a conversion for his 17 pound, 500 pound carrying capacity, bike trailer so now it can change into a pontoon boat. Right? The man is humble and soft spoken, having been most places in the world on his bicycle and spending lots of time in Tahoe making human powered 4x4 machines that can roll over a four foot obstacle and making awe inspiring jewelery.
(Micheal's image cannot be captured by digital means, his aura is too bright)
Gabe and Natalie seemed to have a good time:
