Project 47/32
This past weekend, I went to Portland to hang out with Breegan and to see the boys of Project 47/32 as they did their first live concerts. The first house show was cancelled pretty abruptly so we improvised and had the concert at Breegan's grandmother's vineyard where we were staying. The digs are pretty swanky, to say the least, as you'll see. The day before we spent around town seeing everything Portland has to offer. Then at night we headed to the vineyard for some music and wine. It was a great night and a fun kick off for the project's concerts. I'm just glad I got to be a part of it.

Well, I am officially back on Seattle time and feeling like a normal human being again. This week has been one spent in front of my DVR and taking too many naps, so now I feel ready to rock and roll.
My week ended with finally getting out of the house with Jeff which resulted in running across a cool vintage shop selling Hawaiian t-shirts, so sadly, he was in heaven.
Then I got to shoot some photographs for the kick off concert of Project 47/32 on Sunday. It's a group of my favorite guys doing some great outreach through homeless ministry, riding their bikes from Seattle to San Diego to do so. They'll be playing house shows all along the coast on the way down to raise money for the homeless population in that area.You should check them out.
But today I started my internship with Chris & Sarah Rhoads aka We Are The Rhoads. In short, they are possibly the two coolest human beings on the planet and I am beyond excited to get the opportunity to work for them. Even day one, which was a mass blur of information, was so encouraging and joyful. I can already tell that spending a year with this couple will be inspiring for me in so many ways. They are truly great at what they do and are also wonderful souls.

It's been a while since my last post, due mostly to taking finals and then traveling to Paris where I had no wifi. So now I'm left to an overload of pictures and no blogging. So I'll try to pick a few from each day and not bombard you with a million photos.
Anyway, the last few days in Uzes were so much fun. In the south of France, every year they have a running of the bulls and a "bull pool." In the bull pool, Frenchman who need to prove their manhood get into a small ring with a bull and try to get it to chase them. Then, in the nick of time, they jump up onto the fence. Or they get trampled. It's usually one or the other. So that was fun to see. We saw a parade, and a running of the bulls up and down the city streets (which was kind of horrifying) and topped it off with a dance in the city in which I mostly sat and took pictures of the hippest, cutest old couple I've ever seen. Then we went and took a tour of our villa owner's friend's vineyard which was amazing and then I spent the next few days by the pool studying and taking finals. Rough life, I know.
Then we came to Paris and boy, is it magical. We went to the Louvre, the Museum Dorse, the Arc de Triumph, the oldest cafe in Paris, Sacre Coure, and so much more. All the days sort of just run together now because it has been a non stop whirlwind of different adventures. And tonight, I'm in a hotel with Rylee and Breegan-- Rylee's dad is a diamond member at the Hilton so we've been bumped up to the executive level with a lounge full of free food and champagne, so we aren't really mad. We are just watching the Olympics (in English finally!) and relaxing after our free swanky dinner. We go HOME TOMORROW. And France has been amazing, but I am so ready to be back in the land of refills, free toilets, horseless meat in restaurants, white toilet paper, speaking English, free water, my bed, and so much more. I'm so ready for Seattle! I will see you tomorrow USA, I love you.
