ConspiraZine - more conspiracy, less theory!

I've checked out so many books on clowning and laughter and small businesses and so on but not yet shared most of my findings.

I'm returning these today:

Fantagraphics Books and Roger B. Langridge present Fred the clown.

LOVED IT! Want to own it.

Almost every week this is the "What's on the city council's plate this week" review. I don't cover everything, so if you want the full rundown, read the packet and agenda yourself.

Will we be voting for a new fire station and a new training center in August? The city council could decide on Tuesday at their regular session.

The council will consider whether to put a $16.5 million dollar, 20 year levy on the ballot. The levy will pay for a ~$11 million fire station and new training center plus the needed new equipment (you know, trucks). Here's a general rundown from the staff report on the finances:

Personally I would get rid of the Port of Olympia. They are a pimple on the buttocks of local government. The marine terminal is a joke and they have no business operating a marina in direct competition with local firms...

David Rauh from Mixx96 is heading up this awesome project. The gist of it is that local artists can get an honorarium for arting-up a bench in downtown. The press release is here, the request for proposals is here, and the application is here. The downside is that it's only for five benches right now, but I guess we could always press for more in the future. Press.... would that be a bench press?

So I did it. I managed to live beyond Mar. 27, 2008. I'm living proof that death-date calculator is a bunch of hooey.

In other unimportant news, one of my cats, Spooky, has the ability to open cabinet doors. He does this and then crawls in and just vanishes for awhile. Recently I observed him opening a cabinet door and going inside. Then about a minute later he emerged, from a cabinet on the other side of the room!!!

Since then I have seen this happen three more times. How does he do it? When I mentioned this mystery to another OlyBlogger, she told me that with talents like this, Spooky could probably expect to be appointed to a post on the, er, Cabinet when one of my other cats, Buster is elected President.

"Are you ready for the Code Trip to come to Olympia?  Jason Mauer is coming back to Olympia with a tour bus full of geeks.  They'll be pulling up to the Thurston County Fairgrounds on Monday, April 14th.  There will be giveaways, and great information on the newest technology from great presenters.

Have you been tracking the Code Trip?  They started in Las Vegas at MIX08 on March 7th and headed north.  They've made about 13 stops since then and Olympia will be the last one before arriving at the MVP Summit in Seattle on Tuesday, April 15th.  The capacity of our venue is 288, let's see how close we can get to that total, ok?
