Had a great time (though the weather was too good for my taste and my wife was missing for several hours - turned out to be a transit-system overbooking problem, not all the disasters I fantasized) at the Maritime Showcase and the Sacred Cow Harmogenizers, and later at the tail end of the Labor thing and at Café Impromptu (especially Dan Maher and Chris Roe) and finally at the offsite chantey sing at Mulleady's Pub in Interbay/Magnolia. Great grub there, too! The shooting was an unnerving inconvenience, but from news reports it sounds more bizarre than scary: one bullet, three possible victims, none badly injured, the shooter had a license for the gun and it was in an ankle holster... weird.

Question arose at the chantey sing about where is Mary Garvey when we sang her Willapa Bay song.
