Evergroove 1973

In preparation for the big 40th birthday event at The Evergreen State College I ran across this old bulletin for 1973-1974. I selected certain pages here to give you an idea of the look and style the College was trying to project at the time. The Tim Girvin calligraphy was a strong part of TESC's visual image for many years.

The Campus Activities Building (CAB) in the background. The windows in the top right were for the room that served as HQ for The Cooper Point Journal in the mid-1970s, a time when the first real wave of cartoonists emerged at Evergroove.

Favorite Movie Quotes: Paris, Texas

"You will all be caught with your diapers down! That is a promise! I make you this promise on my mother's head! For right here, today, standing on the very head of my mother, which is our God Green Earth, which everybody who wasn't born in a fucking sewer ought to know and understand to the very marrow of their bones! They will invade you in your beds! They will snap you from your hot tubs! They will pluck you right out of your fancy sports cars! There is nowhere! Absolutely nowhere in this Godforsaken valley! I'm talking about from the range of my voice right here, clear out to the Goddamn Mojave Desert and beyond that! Clear out past Barstow and everywhere else in the valley all the way to Arizona! None of that area will be called a Safety Zone! There will be no Safety Zone!  I can guarantee you the Safety Zone will be eliminated! Eradicated! You will all be extradited to the Land of No Return! It's a navigation to Nowhere! And if you think that's going to be fun, you've got another think coming! I may be a slimebucket but believe me, I know what the Hell I'm talking about! I'm not crazy! And don't say I didn't warn you! I warned you! I warned all of you!"

Wood split for me by my brother Bryan and nephew Zach. It is some kind of hardwood I cannot identify.

Favorite Movie Quotes: One-Eyed Jacks

"You may be a one-eyed jack around here, but I've seen the other side of your face." 

A very offbeat Western, much like the other Brando appearance in this genre, Missouri Breaks.

Brando was a ham. But he was a very good ham. I miss him.

Winged Victory Monument

Olympia, Washington

This WWI memorial is in the center of the Washington State capitol campus. In the background you can see the Insurance Building on the left and the dome of the Legislative Building on the right.

When my Mom was a young adult, ca. 1950, she was hoisted up the front of this pedestal and into the group of figures in the sculpture. Needless to say it was very late at night.

I shook hands with Gov. Rosellini, ca. 1960, as he stood in front of the state seal at the base and hosted the annual Easter egg hunt.

This phone photo was taken shortly after sunrise.

Favorite Movie Quotes: Nurse Betty

"I'm a garbage man of the human condition."

Seattle's New Supervillain

As some of you might know, Seattle has several real-life superheroes, including Phoenix Jones, who was active in protecting Truth, Justice, and the American Way in today's May Day violence.

Well, apparently Seattle now also has a supervillain: Rex Velvet. Morty the Blog's founder, Sarah, told me on the phone this evil genius is now running amok and she sent me this link.

I see Rex Velvet is using the required purple and green colors associated with supervillains. I say, more power to him! The bad guys are always much more interesting than the heroes in comic book land and I am so happy this little drama is taking place here in Washington State! I love living here! 

Washington, My Home!
