Brilliant thing about local festivals – they’re bigger on the inside! Take this Festival of Trees happening at the North Dakota State Fair Center. Humans, you never cease to amaze me with your ability to turn ordinary things into extraordinary experiences. Trees! In a fair center! With a petting zoo, no less. Rather like that time I met a talking giraffe on Barcelona VII, though that’s quite another story…
And speaking of stories, there’s this absolutely marvelous production of Cinderella at the Mouse River Players. Rodgers and Hammerstein – now there’s a pair who understood the timey-wimey nature of fairy tales. Though between you and me, the real Cinderella story involved three quantum physicists and a rather perplexed iguana.

Oh! And if you’re interested in the space between things – and trust me, that’s where all the interesting bits happen – there’s this fascinating exhibition by Donald Robson at the Northwest Arts Center. The space between… reminds me of the Void Ships, actually…
