IKEA assembly

We have been trying to setup and furnish a room in our apartment that was left empty after Renee moved her studio out. Yesterday we made a trip to IKEA and bough a bench/storage unit that came unassembled.



Eventually we put the main part together...



Then it was time to assemble the drawers.



Ta DA!



The many uses of our new piece of furniture!

How to Fill a Car

It's festival time for Renee again! We also get the opportunity to flex our spacial packing skills as we have to fit all of Renee's gear and paintings into Brian's 2 door Ford Focus. Mission complete!

Olive the Cat.

Happy Mother's Day! It's been a whole month since the last post (YIKES!)

It was sunny and 70 yesterday and so we finally opened the windows in our new apartment. Apparently Olive had been waiting for this moment as she jumped up onto the windowsill and layed down just like a cat. In fact she is doing the same thing right now, as we speak!

Seattling!

Spring break gave us an opportunity to re-visit Seattle for a few days.



We stayed in a hostel with view of the world famous Pike's Place Market across the street.



Brian was shopping for a new winter coat while we were there.



The Experience Music Project is pretty cool looking. Designed by Frank Ghery.



This guy had quite a few windows to wash.



Renee noticed that the building looked like it could use a little extra support.

Video of Brian and Muse!

CLICK HERE to see a video that the radio station posted of Muse announcing the winner(s) for the poster contest mentioned below.

Muse Poster!

Brian Recently designed a poster contest for the band Muse!



Out of 300 entries his poster made it into the top ten and he got to meet the band and they signed his poster.



Here is Brian with the band. The told were split between his poster and another poster and ended up giving the official grand prize to the other poster. However, they liked it enough that they gave it "2nd" place and gave Brian two 3rd row seat tickets to the show.




Here is a picture from the concert, just to give you an idea of their stage setup. Cool!!!
