On Saturday night, Olympia’s hippest and most talented put on a variety show at the Capitol Theater. It was billed as a “fashion show” but seeing it included videos, performances, and dances, I’m gonna call it a good old fashioned variety show. It’s stuff like this that makes me happy  to live in Olympia. Where else could this have happened? Certainly not in Portland or Brooklyn. I laughed, I cried. There’s truly a lovely, quirky little community in this town.

I love Olympia in the Spring.
