So what is he like?  I guess he's from the Sierra Club and he doesn't think we need a tunnel where the Alaskan Way Viaduct is.

Magical Afternoon with Dee Dee Rainbow

We wrote about Dee Dee Rainbow almost exactly a year ago. 

She's the iconic "Rainbow Lady" of Seattle who frequented Bumbershoot, Folklife, Fremont Fair, U District Fair and any other festive public gathering with music, creativity and festivity and also managed for years to make favorite events of hers like the Mt. Hood Jazz Festival. She had been an art teacher originally. 

This morning I got an email from a friend of hers who had read about her on our blog and Dee Dee has had some health problems and now lives in an assisted living type of place. A long-time friend of hers (who met her in 1982 at the Mt. Hood Jazz Festival) agreed to bring her to an afternoon BBQ north of Seattle. They invited me.

I packed up my camera and headed north and ate smoked chicken and buffalo meat and drank home brew with Dee Dee and friends at the home of a wizard who is going to put an esoteric book collection on line before long.  

It was a most interesting day and Dee Dee asked me to find her some cooler summer rainbow wear as she has lost weight and has only her winter clothes. I am going to really enjoy doing that and delivering them.

My Neighbor Gregg Blackstock's Drawings Incorporated into Commes des Garcons Fashion

I saw my talented autistic savant artist/musician neighbor wearing a designer shirt with one of his illustrations of various knots incorporated into the pattern. He said it was a free sample from Commes des Garcons but that they cost $200 for everybody else. I looked at the Facebook page for Garde Rail Gallery where he exhibits, and saw these designs. 

Greg took off before I could photograph him, but he does come by sometimes with shirts upon which he has things custom-made by the computer-embroidery machine at the mall.

Today, he was interested in exactly what the phrase "fed up" met and after we talked about it, he said he had been "fed up" with his pot washing job.  He said he would have much rather been making money playing his accordian on the street and drawing than washing pots all those years.
