2008-08-11 Rev Theory at MaddenPalooza : Rev Theory played at MaddenPalooza outdoors in the Rose Bowl stadium - the crowd was light so I was able to get these pictures up close. Despite the heat they gave a fantastic high-energy performance. Rev Theory has my permission to use these photos for any purpose in exchange for a photo credit.

2008-08-25, Pearls of the East at Kalia of Greenwood : Imei invited me to Kalia's of Greenwood ( http://www.kaliacuisine.com/ )for the 'Pearls of the East' dance event.

2008-06-13 Jerzy's Wine Bar with Dancing : I was able to go back to Jerzy's wine bar in Redmond ( http://www.jerzyswinebar.com/ ), again had the delicious cheese plate and go to see some fantastic bellydancing by Imei. I met some new people, conversed with old friends, and had fun watching the crowd have their turn at bellydancing.

2008-04-19, Journey to the East at the Seattle Art Museum : A fantastic evening of music and dance from Egypt, Turkey, Cambodia, India, China and many other places. Traditional and fusion styles were presented. It was an excellent production and a fine cast of talented dancers in beautiful constume - I'd highly recommend attending the next event. My apologies for the poor quality of the pictures - I am I'm still learning to shoot action with stage lighting. If you are one of the featured artists you have my permission to use pictures of yourself for whatever promotional purposes you may wish. Thanks to Imei for making sure I knew about this fantastic event.

2008-02-09, Bellydancing at Jerzy's Wine Bar : Jerzy's wine bar in Redmond, WA featured some excellent bellydancing by Imei. It was my first visit to Jerzy's - I was impressed by the decor, comfortable while still being classy. I ordered the fine cheese sampler (delicious) which came with olives as well as the expected fruit and cheese served with toast rounds (which I like much better than crackers). The driving rain kept the crowds at home - so it was a friendly gathering that enjoyed the show. To close out the evening everyone got up and bellydanced the last number (even the chef came out of the kitchen to join in the fun).

2008-01-13, Linnae Joy Kraemer (Harp) : It was a crisp and cool winter day and Linnae Joy Kraemer was playing her harp just as the sun was setting on Lake Washington. I took a few pictures but mostly enjoyed the music. You can find her here: http://linnaejoykraemer.com/

2007-08-05, The Rogues - Gig Harbor Renn Faire : The Rogues are a high-energy group with two pipers and two drummers and lots of attitude. World class drumming and piping wrapped up in a very funny theatrical package. Worth the price of admission to the faire (I bought the best-of CD)

2007-06-23, Georgetown-Artis Spoonman, Reggie Miles & Surprise Guest : Georgetown Artopia - I was walking down the street and saw some people getting ready to play. One looked familiar but I couldn't be sure until he took out his instruments. I had played with Artis the Spoonman at Scarborough Faire in 1981 and 1982 (ask me the story sometime)- he's amazingly talented and a legendary street performer. He mixes body rhythms with spoons and sticks - pausing occasionally to deliver a message or two (environmental, peace, be good to one another). Lots of people walked off, but qutie a few stayed. After he started playing the spoons a darling little girle came up - and he invited her on stage. She sang a little, ran off embarrassed and came back several times. Reggie Miles ( http://www.myspace.com/reggiemiles ) started and ended the set with Artis and knocked out some powerful bottle-guitar tunes. Miya (girl) stole the show and the three of them performing was just magical. Afterward he wrote her a note saying she was always welcome to come up on his stage, then put symbols for peace, love, and music on it. She Artis a big hug.

2007-05-22, Celtic Jam Duvall : Every tuesday the P&G speakeasy ( http://www.pandgspeakeasycafe.com/ ) has a Celtic music jam session. A very friendly and lively group assembled, all very skilled musicians. My leg was sore from tapping my foot for 3 hours - I played a lot of bodhran, bones, and a little bit of flute.

2007-02-17, Fremont street performer Erik Bledsoe : I had a snack in front of the PCC market in Fremont and Erik was playing his 12string. Soulful - he sang songs of freedom, rebellion, peace, and longing - and had the world-weary voice that made it real. Erik if you do get your website back up one day, please feel free to use these photos.

E3 2006 - The NCSoft Tribal Dancers : E3 2006 - This was a fantastic tribal dance and music show that seemed to run continuously. A huge screen showed gameplay clips while the band played energetic dance music. Various dancers with fire and hoops entertained the throngs of gamer geeks below. The facing booth was measuring the sound decibels - NCSoft's head guy got up on stage, the drums stopped and he said "They said they're going to fine us because we're too loud...here is my credit card (he holds it up) - come get it!" - the fans of course loved it.
