Bagel-mobile. My car smelled like a bakery for days.
The empty food sorting table. So lonely.
Unloading the trucks!
The full food sorting table. So happy!
Well sorted soups.
Been so caught up in “Wedding Planning 2014” that I failed to share this killer JFS event – our annual Food Sort – which happened the morning after we got engaged. I was in charge of hospitality and spent the morning picking up the 25 dozen bagels and making sure our volunteers were caffeinated and snacked up throughout the event.
The event included food delivers from local community groups as well as a large sort where volunteers went through the TONS of food and box them up according to categories ie. soup, vegetables, noodles. I’d say it’s by far one of the most popular events we host and I’m always glad to partner with our Food Bank staff to make it happen. Those guys (and gals!) rock!
Took one day out of my vacation week (aka house labor week) to straight up relax and catch up on the Seattle music scene. The BF and I had our eyes on Bumbershoot – Monday’s line up was pretty killer and we had a free ticket coming our way. He got on good ole CL the morning of the festival to pick up another one for yours truly and ended up trading a Sonicsgate DVD and t-shirt for two additonal FREE tix (keep in mind, tickets at the door were $60!) Besides lunch and a few beers, this ended up being a cheap day for us š
Rocked out to MGMT, swayed to Alt-J (the best performance of the day.), threw our hands up with Sol, crooned with Allen Stone, questioned what I was doing watching the darkness that is Deerhunter and ended the night with The Joy Formidable who somehow broke their drum set and took a 20 minute break right in the middle of their set – weird. Overall, a great day! So glad Bumbershoot is steppin’ up their musical game again…..this girl can dig it.
And not to be overshadowed by the local music festival….SNOOP LION (aka Snoop Dogg) was in the hizzle a few days prior to that so we hit up Showbox SODO for his show. I think we were all hoping for more “Lion” and less “Dogg”, but it was a fun show and he rapped plenty of hits. Westside!
