VLOG #10 — Festivals & The Wheel of Imminent Danger!

Posted on June 13, 2013 by Michelle Proulx

Guys, I hate to say this, but … I don’t think you’re ready for this jelly. And by jelly, I am, of course, talking about my new vlog! It will feature:

My brother and I attempting to paint the Wheel of Imminent Danger
Footage from the Gathering on the Green arts festival
Footage from the For the Love of Arts street festival

To give some background, a family friend was awesome and built me a prize wheel (think Wheel of Fortune, but smaller and vertical). So Jesse (my brother) and I painted it with pretty colors, stuffed it in the car, and hauled it to assorted festivals over the last few weeks. The first festival went very well, the second very poorly — but fun was had, wheels were spun, books were sold, and candy was consumed. Watch the vlog to find out more!

There’s still time to apply for the Mars One reality show! Never mind the fact that, with our current technology, you’ll probably receive a lethal dose of radiation whilst en route to Mars and subsequently die a horrible death!

Seriously though, Mars One is pretty cool. Click here to learn more about it.

Pictures From My Assorted Book Events (OMG)

Posted on June 5, 2013 by Michelle Proulx

It just occurred to me that I haven’t shared any pictures from either the Chapters book signing or the Gathering on the Green festival from last weekend. Shame!

First of all, we have some choice photos from the Chapters book signing …

Me at the signing with my shiny book.

Mother and I chilling at the table near the end of the signing.

Just chattin’ up some peeps. No biggy.

My friends stopped by to say hi.

Dramatic shot of the table.

Mother is amused. I am not.

Next up, select photos from the Gathering on the Green folk festival …

The Wheel of Imminent Danger! (And my friend Peter, who helped set up the booth.)

Me, myself, and I.

Jesse (my brother) setting up the tent.

Dramatic shot of the table, including the legend for the Wheel of Imminent Danger!

Jesse and I at the booth. Note our classy set-up, tablecloth included.

There you have it, folks! Two events down, two to go! Well, two that are scheduled, at least. I’m sure I’ll accidentally sign up for a few more before the summer ends. Thanks again to the lovely Rhiannon for photographing the above pictures. To see even more photos from these events, click here.

I think we’ve had quite enough pictures for one day, don’t you? Here’s a cute video of a dog attempting to sing and play the piano.
