[So I'm in Tri-Cities, Washington, where this joint was -- well, it was a sport's bar, then it was a comedy club, and now a husband-and-wife team have come together, and I hung up the receiver.]

So my friend Kizmet was trying to distract me a while back, and things didn’t go as planned, but I did get to take some photos that I wanted to share. So, if any of you read Patricia Brigg’s Mercy Thomson sires you might recognize these. First up is the Cable Bridge, and yes, it is the very bridge that was attacked by a troll and later sunk by one of the Gray Lords in Fire Touched. Next is the Crane that Sherwood climbed. I took two sets of pics, one set up close, or as up close as we could get, and one set from a distance so you can see how much bigger this crane is from all the others. The last pic is of the Blue Bridge, Kizmet and I couldn’t remember if it had been mentioned in the books, though we both thought it had been we just couldn’t remember which one. Like the Cable Bridge the Blue Bridge spans the Columbia Rived both bridges are within sight of each other. This was a fun way to spend an after noon.

I’ve been a little quiet on here following the World Premiere of 3 Dead Trick or Treaters this past November, but I talk a lot about it in this interview with Sound & Vision: Pop Culture Commentary! (Part 2 available here) We have our hometown premiere coming up this month at the Apollo Cinema; February 16th at 7PM, on a double bill with Halloween 3: Season of the Witch! More to come...

[♪♪ Got top love the Great Northwest -- though with mahogany in particular, it’s so tightly grained -- I mean, in every way, shape, or form. So I'm in Tri-Cities, Washington, where this joint was -- well, it was a sport's bar, then it was a comedy club, and now a husband-and-wife team have come together, and they're serving up beer.]

See that white building under the bridge? That's the Clover Island Inn. I stayed there twice last year while working for the local school district
