Rollin'

Is it seriously September? I can't believe how fast the summer has flown by. It's starting to get a little breezy and a little cooler around here...yepyepyep. Sweater weather, here we come (well, in like two months). I know I will be cursing the cold once winter hits, but right now I'm ready for the chilliness.

I've been knitting away on my Cutaway. Back piece is done, front left is done, and I'm about halfway through the front right. It's nice and easy stockinette with some shaping thrown in. I think the finishing is going to be the challenge with this pattern, but I'm looking forward to it. The front left piece came to brunch with me and Jacob on Sunday:

Jacob had his camera.

Here's The Pants at brunch:

I took this with his camera. Isn't he dashing?

It was such a nice long weekend. On Saturday, we went to the Cobbham Festival, which was a little festival in AM's neighborhood. They had bands playing on front porches, food, ice cream, and lots of games for the kids. There was also a trapeze demonstration and both of my trapeze teachers performed on a trapeze rigged up from a tree branch. It was v. cool:

In addition to trapeze artists and belly dancers, there were superheroes:

They stopped saving the world briefly so we could take a picture.

and, the coolest dude in town: Rolin Joel.

Rolin Joel (that's his spelling, not mine.) rides around town on a bicycle that has speakers and a disco ball. His bike plays funk music. But he also is a bad-ass roller skater. Rolin Joel was performing at CobbFest, and we got some pics:

He didn't fall. Not once.
But he did do several splits.



The shirt.
Can you read what it says?

If the pictures enticed you, click here to download a little video of Rolin Joel that I took with my camera. There's no sound,and the quality kinda sucks, but just so you know, he was skating to Rapper's Delight. Hell yeah.

So, it was quite a weekend. I didn't even tell you about bowling, or the Labor Day fireworks that we shot off in our field, but I'm too tired to keep writing. And I gotta save those stories for another post. The good times just keep rolling. or rolin. Can you dig it?
