quebec's finest Poutine

 

Stopped here on the ride back from a Montreal Depeche Mode concert in July, I WILL return. Belle Geule! I dont think that actually works but "pretty mouth" was how I felt eating those fresh cheese curds no doubt gleaned that day from a cow down the street.

thanks for the tickets Dave Brushett!

Haymarket

 

I'm missing my cheap produce fix, I would walk down the hill saturday morning and buy veggies and fruits in bulk at Haymarket square.
box of 10 Mango's for $3
box of 10 Avocados $5
25 Lb bag og onions for 6$

I'll find something similar here in NYC but I haven't yet. There is an interesting Tarp covered tent on 52nd called Stiles farmers market which looks more like factory farm produce but I've yet to buy anything there yet.

Watch this Ted Talk and prepare for the coming civic design future that looks alot more like Europe and less like Tucson. He calls out Boston in this Ted Talk for having the WORST city hall and one of the least civically desirable common areas imaginable surrounding it. I walked through the city hall property DAILY for 6 months and completely agree with his summation. I have however seen it as a workable space for large events such as community concerts and ice cream tasting festivals. Other than that it looks like a great place for the inner party to broadcast the "two minutes hate". Boston city hall is actually the first picture displayed in the wikipedia entry as the poster child for the architectural movement known as Brutalism.

Connections from the Tucson Gem shows

Morning Sun Jewelry I met Peter last year in Mystic CT on one of his trips to the East coast, this time I got a chance to really see all of his designs and the diversity of gems and jewelry that he carries out of his Grass Valley, California shop. Great craftsman/artist and a world explorer Peter is!

mystic gem company Local gem/jewelry dealer in Mystic CT also at the show for 21 straight years! Mike and my cousin Matt are happily covering the gem needs of the Mystic CT market.

E-BU Jewlery- Neighbors on our "block" at the Pueblo show. I worked with Warren and Robbin to help them with some computer related issues and traded services for some fantastic hand crafted jewelry. Thanks so much!

MinuteCad.com Thanks for being such a great neighbor at Pueblo! Victor has a great product so check it out. Vic: I owe you for keeping me hydrated with those caffeine free diet cokes! thanks!

Elemental Adornments Christi's booth was right next to our booth. Christi and her son and daughter were in attendance helping her out when she was working the Best Bead Show down the road. Great kids I might add, VERY well behaved. Her jewelry/art is phenomenal check our her website to see some at the link above.
