River_DMF

Okay, so this is a horrible photo, but sometimes you have to put the camera down and live little!

This was the second year for River_DMF, and my second year boarding the riverboat with my good friend Kate (pictured above, sorta). After last year's shindig, we wouldn't have missed this year's for the world.

River_DMF is an extension of Dance_MF, which Kate and I also attend whenever we can. Dance_MF is a dance party held on the first Saturday of every month, at Northside Tavern. The venue is awesome, there's always a dorky-cool theme, the music's great, the audience is eclectic, even the drinks are good.

River_DMF takes all the goodness of the dance party and sets it on a riverboat. From 11pm to 2am, you set sail up and down the Ohio, tunes bouncing off of the bridges and everyone having a ball. The weather was perfect again this year, and River_DMF was definitely the place to be.

We did set sail a little late, though. From what I heard later, the smaller boat we were due to cruise on broke down shortly before 11. The Projectmill team had to lug everything to a different, bigger boat pronto. Everything else seemed to go off without a hitch-- lucky ducks!

Summer Drive

When Dan and I moved downtown, we got rid of one of our cars. We figured there was no point in living and working downtown and still trying to manage two vehicles.

Still, we like to take a drive from time to time. Dan in particular likes to be behind the wheel, and I like to see the world moving by faster than I can hoof it.

Submitted for your approval, some pictures of our recent drive along the Ohio River. I recommend you take a similar excursion yourself, whenever you get get a chance.
