Just a headsup to all friends and contributors to my posts here at bluishbarn: my blogging activity, and that of Barn contributor GND, is moving over to twofellswoops.com, where we’ll still be writing and posting pictures about this neighborhood from our new place a few blocks away.
The other day I was emptying out my room at the Bluish Barn, and I got to the point where there was only my bed left, which I was leaving for the next occupant. So Girl Next Door and I decided to lie down on it one last time. As we lay there, we heard footsteps on the front porch, followed by a strange scratching sound. Puzzled, I got up to investigate, only to discover that the scratching sound was Kenny the mailman scratching out my name on the mailbox list. It was like I was being deleted, purged from the records. We sat there for a minute, stunned at such a definitive confirmation of my departure from the Barn.
So yeah, in case you couldn’t tell from my lack of posts here in the past few months, I’m moving to a new place with former Barn neighbor GND. It’s only a few blocks away, but because there’s so much work to do on the new house, I won’t be as active writing on this blog or planning events at the Barn. So it feels farther.
It’s been a good two years. I’m glad that I finally had a chance to do what so many friends and strangers have done since I’ve lived in this town - to use a full-house rental to host events that make life here a bit more interesting. Stay tuned for whatever my old roommates Michelle and Christina and their new roommate Alex have planned for the Bluish Barn.
In a further attempt to learn something (more than nothing) about web design, I’ve just added a photo Gallery to our blog. It might work somewhat clunkily until I tweak it some more. As you can see, it puts random images at the sidebar to the right. You can click these images to view them in their albums. The only album so far contains pictures taken just before the danceparty we had last New Year’s Eve. Looking at them, if you were there that night and drank and danced till sunrise with us, you get an eerie sense of the calm before the storm, don’t you?
