SACBO!

Saturday, June 19, 2010. A grey and rainy day in the city of Seattle. This was the day of the Seattle Art Car Blowout, affectionately known as SACBO.

Extremo spent a couple of months getting his van is showing shape. Sculpting, casting, siliconing, painting.

The chimpanzee says, "Laughter will lengthen your life!" Oh, yeah.

The Dandelion says, "Give me your money!"

Ole Salty say, "Aargh... I'm gunna eat you laddie!"

Extremo gets to the lot early, meeting up with old friends like Scott, Ruby and newcomer Amber.

Music selections are made and prepared.

Time to get started with the hooplah!

Smile for the cameras Spanky!

After about 5 hours of singing and dancing Extremo takes a quick break!

He really tries hard to look normal. A little bit hard to do when you got a red nose on.

This is more like it. Creepy Clownie Wownie!

Extremo takes a break to perform the marriage ceremony of Jimbo and Kimbo. They married at the alter of Elvis.

Back to work!

Sunday was more of the same except the rain came down a lot harder and longer. Extremo found a new method of entertainment, Extremo Clown Karaoke. Just grab a group of like minded folks and sing as loud as you can!

But the best part of any SACBO weekend is meeting up with old friends. Here is Dave & Annie, the most lovely couple I have every known.

This is Ladybug Sherry, she has the cutest ladybug truck and travel trailer.

Ken and Janice from Canada.

Theresa, the SACBO Donor.

She was ready to donate an internal organ at the drop of a hat.

And last but not least, the ever present Don. We would not know where to go unless Don was there to tell us where and when to turn and park. Missing from these pictures but always on the list is Kelly.

It is so nice to have friends.
