Chapter 18: Sundance of the South

So at Hands On we have all sorts of fun as a community and one of the things that we did recently was have a film competition that came about as a result from one of the framers (who is from Australia) wanting to document his work on film. In honor of him the awards are called the "Woody". We all hit America's Thrift store or any other number of fun places to buy clothes and got dolled up.

The Woody Committee went so far as to create a red carpet from some black tarp and spray paint as well as roping it off with some heavy duty rope and road sign posts spray painted gold. We all got into vans and drove around front and then up to "walk the red carpet".

Appropriately, there were fashion Woodies and film Woodies. The whole gang looked great for the ordeal. Petey Pablo brought home a Woody for "Best Dressed AFH" in his Fred Rogers get up, and Derek won a Woody for his "Impromptu Performances".

P came over and whipped up a Mexican food spread that went over huge. After dinner we had the Fashion Woody Awards given out then screened the films on the screen we made for the Super Bowl which has taken on. I will try and get them up on YouTube if they will fit after I get a copy of them from our digital Guru: Andrew "Google" Shirley.

Finally, Michelle and Susanne, both of whom are the sweetest girls you can meet led us in the camp favorite "Wagon Wheel". I'm not sure who it is by, but everyone seems to know it, and I love that we all sing it together... is that weird? Anyhow, check out the video.

Picture of the Day: I suppose I don't have a whole lot of pictures of myself on here, so here's a Zissou for all my peeps.
