Leaving Orcatraz

Another longwinded, heavy-handed Video8 quickie edit with accompanying dorky poster from the box o’ tapes I’ve been hauling around for TEN YEARS.
On an iPhone? YouTube link.

This was the night before, day of, and week after leaving Orcas Island, 2001? (Right before brainfag 5 if you’re into that sort of thing.)
This starts with the Electric Greenhouse, by far the weirdest domicile I’ve lived in, and where I drew brainfag 3 (again, if you’re into that sort of thing.) I lived here 6 months with somewhat running water (gravity-fed from the pond up the hill) and solar/hydro power. Wood heat and LOUD metal roof when raining.
I visited my mom in Federal Way on the way to Portland, Ore.
That’s Pat destroying the bowling alley. (to Yo La Tengo.)
Oh man, SO cool to see the greenhouse in full effect, after reading so much about it. I also love the shot with the cat sleeping behind you while you drive. :)
