This afternoon we saw "The Laramie Project 10 Years After" - if you're much younger than me you may have no recollection of what happened in Laramie in 1998. I highly recommend that you see it anyway. The play is very well written and the production we saw at the Jewel Box was very well acted! Bravo for all involved! If you can't see it live that's a shame but do Google it and watch it on some platform or another. Spoiler alert: the TV Entertainment Program called 20/20 did a great injustice to the people of Laramie....IMHO

I've only done Axe Throwing one time and it was outdoors with just regular hatchets and wooden old school targets. The way that the scoring works here was really cool. I also liked that there was more than one type of game you could play, because let's be real, with only two people, throwing axes can get boring fast. Best of all, I am way better than my husband at it! I am what you could call, an axe throwing natural. We didn't do anything else at Dimension XR so I can't comment on any of that stuff but we'd come back to do the axe throwing for sure, just in case my husband ever forgets that I'm better than him at something. I wish the Towne Square Mall could get some businesses to actually stay. This is close to home for us and it would be great to have some other things to do around here.

That said, I'm always annoyed in crowded public spaces where clueless people decide to sit right in front of you at the last moment even though you've been holding your spot for half an hour. Then there were the utterly clueless people who just talked loudly completely ignoring the fact that a performance was going on within feet of them. But what do you expect at sunset on a public beach where people have been camped out all day drinking beers and goofing around? The performance itself was intriguing but painfully slow. So slow that I kept thinking I was missing something but I wasn't. The costumes and overall theme is fantastic and the use of the environment is great. Chris and I both decided that the best way to attend one of these performance is by happenstance. If you were sailing your boat by or just happened to be taking a late night stroll at Greenlake and came across this magical spectacle, then it would be something really extraordinary. I don't regret going at all. I'm really glad I saw it and might even go again, but I'd be a little more prepared. Plus we might even stay until the end next time.

You have to love it and not have feelings that it is too long....the sky is immense.. the night will always be long one can never see it all or watch all the stars. I was invited happily to get into a lovely comfortable bed .. and lay watching stars open; a couple planes overhead; children ran around, laughing and squealing; my bedmates changed from an adult who is involved with this to different children - one hiding from the angels another happy so happy. I was asked by the horses" ar ewyou wishing on the stars?" I was so entranced by the entire night I replied," I am so busy feeling happy!" It is not everything for everyone. Nothing is. It is a happy event inspiring and inspired by nature, our wonderful city and creative minds who are willign to put themselves out there to create happiness in a way which may touch one's lives. My life changed yesterday and this event was icing on one of the best days of my life..
