I pied 15 faces at the Olympia Farmer's market today!

My goal was to do 10 in a half an hour during Performance Dishwashing, but once I brought all the volunteers forward and started giving them positive attention and pies... more started lining up!

At the end I realized my camera was in my pocket the whole time.

Luckily, my new best friend, Aaron Barna, professional photographer, was working the event, and I've already given him a handshake deal for a free party.

This was the second event in two days at which I opted for the Clown Lite version of costuming and make-up. I know I made the right choice because it was 90 degrees, I was sweating buckets, and my eyebrows would have melted before the show had even started.

Some of the highlights:

• When little Zane chickened out, Pieing his mom instead (she signed the waiver after all)
  
• Pieing Mike on his 40th birthday
• Pieing new mom, Katherine
• Pieing Isaiah AND (finally) Orion
• Pieing Zadi (I hadn't been doing pies when I came to his birthday)
• Spinning a Pie-Rat on a short stick and then on a tall PVC pipe
• Shooting silly string out of a rubber chicken's butt

... On Friday, about 400 ceramic plates donated by children and others were used to serve food from five of the seven market eateries, eliminating many of the paper plates and food containers that normally land in the garbage.

I don't typically think of Oly as being full of bike thieves, but the listings on Craigslist say otherwise. What's going on?

• Giant TCR Advanced XS stolen from 8th and McCormick (Eastside)
  
• Schwinn Timberline 21 speed mens mountain bike stolen from 900 block of eastside neighborhood by Lyons park
  
• 1982 trek 520

• 1983 Trek 501 road bike. Thief pushed the rider in the bushes, grabbed the bike and took off. Stolen in West Oly on Cooper Point Rd. just off the road across from Capitol HS field. Crazy!

What is going on?!?!
