Jam, strawberries and giant asparagus. The first farmers market visit of the season was a success.

The rain let up in time to visit the kickoff of Cityfair.
46/100 - #TBT Booking Bronx Obama
Over the summer, I was able to book an interview with Bronx Obama for the show I produce. He was in town for the screening of the movie documenting his journey to becoming an Obama impersonator. Not sure who else would have thought to pursue this on a weekend with limited resources. I happen to listen to a lot of podcasts and heard his story on This American Life. I knew it was a good one and would be unique content for my show.
45/100 - Documentary double feature
Two great documentaries. Two very different artists, but in the end they were on a similar journey. They expressed a vision that was their own, but it wasn't without its ups and downs.
44/100 - The typing station
It seems like a very "Portland" thing to have, but I really like the Public Typing Station in the city.

"It's still not a finished circle. It's like part two is happening to me right now, as I take the book on tour." - Amanda Palmer
This came out last year when Amanda Palmer's book came out. It is still a nice interview to listen to.
