Paul submitted a film of Pierce learning how to ride his bike to the Bike Shorts Film Festival, so recently we all headed downtown for the event. First we grabbed dinner at the City Marketplace. I had the most wonderful food - I think it was called Incan Paradise -
I'm going to try to recreate it at home. It came from this place called Firefly Fare, which is all local cuisine. So yummy!
This was the first time I'd been in the City Marketplace since the big remodel. It looks very nice. Course I miss the old Cuban place - I loved their food so much. Happy to still be able to see those grand tall ceilings:
And I thought this mural on the floor of the entry was a nice touch:
After dinner, we had some time to kill, so we decided to go for a trolley ride. The boys were thrilled - we hadn't ridden the trolley since last summer.
Possibly the cutest picture of Pierce with his Dad ever!
After the trolley loop, it was time for the reception, which was held at the Taubman Museum of Art.
We just barely managed to entertain the 3 boys until the films started. Thank goodness they were all 'shorts' - otherwise we'd never have survived!
Paul's film seemed very well received - lots of laughter from the audience. While it didn't win, it was fun to see Pierce on the big screen. This isn't the full film, but you can check out the trailer for it here:
Hi Lisa, That is the cutest video ever! Love the photos from the trolley ride and your "salad" looks delicious. Looking forward to you sharing your version of that. Hope you guys have a great weekend.
This post contains it all, a yummy looking plate of food, great photos of a trolley ride,(is this what I know as a tram?) lastly a nearly won short film. Does Pierce Brosnan need to worry yet about the new Pierce on the block? Love it all. X
The video is on Youtube now in a two part series (8 minutes total). I'll be replacing them later today with better versions. Part II has no sound due to licensing issues so I'll be reposting it with a different song than was used in the film festival. You can find all my videos under username MrPworkman. Thanks for the kind complements on it!
That's so cool!!! You keep doing stuff on our to-do list for this area... Devil's Marble Yard, Polyface, the Star Trolley!!! :) It's great! Congrats on the film, even if it didn't win!
I love your film clip. It is cute, funny, and has suspense...all in about a minute! Wow, a surprise to see Taubman, I have been there several times. Where is this Marketplace and would I like to go there? We are going to Lynchburg today to try and find the Rhino Farm, ABC Cemetery, Church Of Spock and other weird sites.
