Welcome to Chester, AR

My Grandma Cronin and Aunt Connie came into town from California yesterday and so we all went out to lunch today. And where else in the entire state of Arkansas would my step-dad choose to eat but in Chester, Ar. So after 45 minutes of driving on the Pig Trail and nearly loosing my appetite due to motion sickness(I know, a little pathetic) we arrived at our destination. Here are some highlights. The waitress mentioned that "Bill had an old car he was tryin' to fix up so they could have their very own cop car in town."
Cat right outside the bathroom.
I'm not sure I even know what this means, but so far the town has 3 churches and no cop car.
The antique store did have several very cool old cameras though.

In the city

This post is a little late, but here is a taste of the time I spent in Seattle post-Potlatch.
Vikki and I perused Pike market for 3-4 hours.
Elevator? Nope, just a one-seater bathroom.
"First" starbucks.


Vikki, Joel, Karl and I did a little sea-kayaking the day before leaving.

Yet another giant post, Seattle edition

Last weekend I ended up in Seattle somehow for a tournament called Potlatch that was pretty danged sweet. I played with a team out of Oklahoma called shortbus and 6 of us Arkansans joined them. We played Friday, Saturday and Sunday so by the time the weekend was over I was quite spent, but managed to have a great time for the next 3 days playing around in the city. Here is just a huge post about the tournament, Seattle photos are to come soon.

We were a little rough with the hoola-hoop and so when it broke we got creative and made it into a sweet beer bong.
Stevie and I wrestled, Sumo style.


The team! minus karl, I might photo shop him in soon though.

Spider pig, spider pig.

The sky was awfully pretty as was the weather all week.
