Sing like it's your last song.
I really liked this band,the female singer,Lauren Krum is amazing. I've heard her sing before at the Exile on Main Street tribute and on other occasions,what a talent.
The singing brothers
These two talented young lads picked the busiest street corner to sing on. I liked their marketing style and performance.
Marco and the machine
My brother wearing a jaunty cap and looking wistfully at a funky machine. The light in this building was perfect. I wish I could bottle it for a rainy day. This is the light and color that photographers dream of.
Let's fling paint!
At the Arts Incubator on 1st Friday,they had a place for kids to throw paint at a wall. It was orderly and controlled of course. The line of the night went to the mother standing next to me who yelled to her son "Jason! You're on the wrong side of the paint!" Sounds like something you would say to a lousy artist. As in "Bob,your artwork stinks,clearly you're on the wrong side of the paint".

Going to the movies
A sign outside a theater in Monterosso. Something about this sign makes me smile and wonder what it's like to see a movie in Italy.

Great advancements in bread mold research from the series "KC Science Fair"
I will never look at bread the same way again.
the Toasty Tush
Catchy name. Who wouldn't be a fan of a toasty tush? Nobody,and I mean nobody likes a cold tush.
the Pocket-tie
As a guy who wears tie,I'm ready to order this baby. Especially since the sign says "Buy it NOOOOOW!". I'm sold!
the Spatula Flashlight
Evidently,there's much more night grilling going on than I was aware of. It's nice to see that the kids are keeping an eye out for these opportunities. And the Chiefs logo always insures a few more sales.

Science experiment
It wasn't all inventions. There was some hard-hitting science being thrown down as well. I forgot where I was going with this...maybe I need some gum.
The Party Shoe
Oh if I think of all the times I wanted to go to a party but didn't because I didn't have the right shoes. I would sit at home and think to myself "if only I had a Party Shoe".
The poster says it "lights up and plays music. It is literally a party in a shoe". Boy,I can smell the party from here.
The Blind Fold
Might be politically incorrect but you got to admit,it's catchier than "Visually Impaired Fold"........(take special note of the braille labels)
The Hot Umbrella
Let's see,a hair-dryer affixed to a plastic umbrella...I don't see how this could possibly go wrong.
The Cake Lifter
A spring-loaded cake pan. Someone call Consumer Reports,let's get testing on this thing.
The Peeper Beeper
Really,I can't think of anything to write that is funnier than this name...let's say it together...Peeper Beeper.
The Brop
It's a broom,no it's a mop...wait,it's a Brop. It's smart...no it's brilliant...wait,it's smilliant!
The extended snooze button
Finally someone has invented a snooze button that will get you up and going instead of wasting your morning in bed.
From the KC Science Fair- Inventions Category
My favorite part of the Science Fair is always the inventions. This one I really dug,it was the "Eliminator". In case you're taking a timed test and suddenly you realize you made a mistake and have alot of erasing to do. This device will help you out,brilliant invention,it only looks like 2 pencils taped together.

the Boboli gardens
Such a wonderful place to stroll around and relax. A bit of heaven in Florence,away from the maddening crowds.
