Whiteaker Block Party
Whiteaker is the funky, artsy, be-weird-it’s-encouraged neighborhood in downtown Eugene, and there’s a huge block party there every year. It was today, and the band John is in (yes, he’s still in the band I keep promising to talk about) played on one of the many stages this afternoon (they were great). We wandered around for a bit afterwards, taking in the sights. Like this guy:
He’s riding a motorized wheelchair, no shirt, with a carousel horse attached in front to lead the way and a trailer full of what appears to be Ninkasi beer (the brewery is on the other side of the street from him). If I ever need a motorized wheelchair, I want it to be pulled by carousel horses, too.
Also, someone has stenciled these cute little birds on the sidewalk around the neighborhood.
