Explosions in the Sky

Some friends of mine made an absolutely gorgeous video for Explosions in the Sky. You should watch it. The Huffington Post says so too.

Arts and Crafts for the Kentucky Derby

I spent the weekend down in Louisville, Kentucky, enjoying the bourbon and ponies. A yearly tradition for the Derby party I attended is to put some money into the pot and then draw a horse out of the hat.

My horses, Optimizer (#2) and Take Charge Indy (#3), finished 11th and 19th out of 20. Rats! At least I didn’t draw Daddy Long Legs, who apparently decided he didn’t even want to finish the race.

My friends and I also create our own fancy Derby hats by sewing silk flowers onto plain old regular hats, which is a lot more fun (not to mention cheaper!) than buying a pre-made Derby hat.

Happy Derby!
