Portland Celebrities

So... I'm working around the ol' PDX celebrity check-list and

The viral video sensation and all around Portland hero of the wacky and weird... the Unipiper.  Who is the Unipiper?  For those who have been away from their computer for the last year or so... He is a bagpiper, unicycler, who wears a kilt and sometimes a Darth Vader mask!  He is actually the partner of one of my TAs, so we got the inside scoop, like what's under the kilt (his sandals), and what they're working on (flame-throwing bagpipes).  So awesome.

 Two more... sudden summer wedding gifts!  So I put together these beautiful duvet lap blankets (from purl bee).  The Grey is for Bethie and Eddie and is a gorgeous nani-iro double gauze and a snowy kona cotton.  The second is for Adrianne and Marianne, and the double gauze side is covered in stars...  I had some time to embroider this one a wee bit before sending it out.  
I really should have attributed the quote to Sagan, but omitted this crucial step in favor of style.
