This is a teaser calendar: today and tomorrow. For the month of July.

For a closer view of any given poster, left Mouse-click the poster. Sometimes there are mouseovers, so if you're into that sort of thing just kind of sloooowleeee move your mouse pointer over the pictures. If you're interested in movie or Theater times their posters are (usually) hyperlinked to their respective schedules.

If your event is not on here I apologize. I do not always see every flyer and sometimes the pictures fuzz up and are illegible. I look preferentially upon flyer distribution at places which are not your store. I encourage mingling, or hiring a distro team. Hiring local artists to design eye catching posters and flyers is good.

If you find yourself inclined to bliss poetic about some just seen show please feel free to leave a comment (or have discussions) on that show's date. History is nothing without its people.

The first night I was in Olympia I couldn't sleep much. Filled with the excitement of finding the place to make a stand with my little family I lay on the floor blinking into the blankness of a white ceiling until my limbs could no longer stand the forced repose and I rose to take my first walk through downtown. I needed coffee. And breakfast sounded good. Enter The Reef and Verna. She stood at the counter talking with an obvious regular and she had her hands on my black gold.

I drank a lot of coffee at The Reef that morning while Verna told me about her family moving to Olympia from South Dakota in 1955. She was a welcome slice of new home and is an indelible part of Olympia for me. Thank you Verna for the calm and coffee you brought me that morning. You were a clear picture in an abstract world.

July 1st marks one year of taking a picture of the Free Wall from (almost) the same spot (almost) every day. It's been a pretty incredible experience. I've learned a lot about that alley, taking pictures and graffiti in the space of that year and thus far I've only had one person yell at me in public for doing it.

Some fun(?) things about the alley from the past year: photos of it have now been a part of a show at MOMA, it is currently the center of a disinformation campaign by Olympia bicycle police who have been stopping by and telling people that the Wall is going to be shut down, it hosted a fashion show and several concerts, for the past several weeks it has sadly seen its dumpsters pressure washed by Olympia work crews and pieces of it have been distributed around downtown. It's an amazing space of incredible value to Olympia past, present and future. I look forward to seeing what it brings tomorrow...

How well do you know Olympia? Here's the game: Each Saturday I post a picture from somewhere around Olympia and people try to figure out its location. The first person who gets it correct gets a Creative Commons Winner photo. If that doesn't get you excited then the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

I don't care for the July image I currently have for the poster calendar. I haven't had the time to make a better one. This is an all call for a July design.

Criteria:
Must be legible
Must read July
Must be a digital image

We have no money to pay you, but the endless adoration from your fellow Olympians ought to suffice.

Please send all designs to: dreamsjung(at)yahoo(dot)com.
