yay, here are photos from the 2013 .83 christmas tree ride
we gathered as westlake center

mark looking nonchalant despite an enormous tree stuck to his back

trees were secured all sorts of ways

boat jake has a sudden thought; ben looks hesitant to speak

and then it was time to roll away
past the famous seattle space structure
down the the street and probably confusing anyone driving home from work
stopping to gather anyone who was dilly dallying
some small trees tied to backpacks
some larger trees inside backpacks

portraits of people who looked like they wanted their portrait taken

wang didn’t want to hold still so he gets a blurry photo
heather sticking out her tongue in the way that she does it
eventually we made it to the beach!
joby had a space suit he got from the internet
while the spaceman tended to the fire
just piling more and more trees on

mohawk mike wanted to spin fire
more portraits of people who looked like they wanted their portrait taken

while each and every one of those cheerished holiday icons were burned
and then it was decided that tim and wang were going to moon everyone in honor of gary
I have quite a bit of footage that I am editing together, à la the dock jumping experience so just hold tight and it’ll be here soon
Update (1/27): Here’s the video. See it in HD by going to Vimeo.
also if you’re curious, there’s a much smaller handful of photos I took from the 2012 ride here
