It was Arts Walk in Oly this weekend:

There was art in the alleys and on the streets. There was art in the galleries and shops.

There was music everywhere and unique musical instruments, too; lots of unusual, handmade and upcycled stuff for sale.

Not everyone was wearing batik and tie dye or flannel; fashionable folks were strutting their stuff, showing off their recycled wares.

Olympia Salvage had it all: men in utility kilts (questionable fashion maybe but Ruby thinks guys in kilts are sexy) , fire dancers, visual art, music, and the power tool races with Hazard Factory from Seattle, whose motto is style first, fun second, safety third. Crazy good times, like a little bit of Burning Man in our own backyard, lets hope Oly Sal does it again next year.

There was also poetry, dance (we loved watching Susan Gresia and Jenny Macc and the rest of RADCo do their everyday housewife thing with such humor, energy and grace), and other kinds of performances (like David Scherer selling burnt toast and crushed cans — you had to be there), a parade, and a recycled fashion show by a bunch of high school students at the OFS Free Wall alley, but we were feeling overwhelmed by then and unfortunately missed this event.
