supercrawl 2012
Alas, I did make it out to Supercrawl, and I did not end up having a Supercrawl baby. The baby has yet to arrive, but yet another Supercrawl has come and gone. I missed Supercrawl last year so I was happy that over the weekend I was feeling pretty good and energetic enough to walk on down to James Street and check out how things have grown and progressed since the last Supercrawl I went to two years ago.
Here are some of the photos I took as I walked down James.
"Ghost Barn" John Haney & Carey Jernigan
En Masse Mural on the Sonic Unyon & Dr. Disc building. Local artist contributions from Jamie Lawson, Jacqui Oakley, Manny Trinh, Backy Katz, & Kearon Roy Taylor
"Carnival Commanders", Aluminum Quilting Society
"When the Bottom Falls Out", Brandon Vickerd
"Hyperbolic Crochet Reef", mostly built by Angelune Des Lauriers, Shannon Gerard, Kalpna Patel & Becky Johnson
I just have to say that despite the line up of many fabulous musical acts my absolute favourite band of all of Supercrawl was a band I’d never heard of before named Bombino!

Thanks Jessica! Loved the shots on your blog too (esp the musical close-ups)! We should do a meet up some time. Maybe one day our Needlework course selection might match up again. If this baby doesn’t come in the next coupla days and I’m feeling like walking then perhaps I’ll see you at Open Streets…. for sure come and say “hi”.
Absolutely! We’re in need of a meet-up! I’m not sure I’m going to make it to Open Streets this weekend since it’s Word on the Street, but I’ll let you know, just in case I end up there and the baby doesn’t come! Our paths will align one day soon I’m sure!
[...] I had even gotten a quickie $20 street cut from Cameron out front of O’s Clothes during Supercrawl, which I loved! So I was pretty confident that although I am a mom and getting a short haircut [...]
