Hey... wanna see a show?!

Tickets for NCC’s production of “Steel Magnolias” are now on sale! Come see Bekah on stage. If you are wanting tickets and can let us know by tomorrow we can get some set aside for you and there will be no online booking charge. Just let us know in general :) . It's going to be fun.. so you'll be missing a good time if you don't show up!

Here's our little blurb:

Three generations of women discover the meaning of courage and strength in this classic, timeless play. Steel Magnolias is the emotional story of a young woman battling diabetes, a mother who sacrifices everything for her, and how both women find hope in their community of friends, even in the midst of heartbreak.

Based on a true story by Robert Harling, Steel Magnolias premiered and received critical acclaim Off-Broadway, and then went on to earn an Oscar nomination as one of the most poignant films of our time. This heartrending tale holds layer after layer of humor, wisdom, loss, grief, and the power of enduring friendship. As each unfolds, you’ll cry, then laugh when you least expect it.

Tickets are only $10 and they’re already selling quickly! Reserve your seats now!

A cyclical project

So here it goes guys, my attempt to reveal to the world our coolness, this is what we started with. A couple board roughly cut, screwed together and a dream.

Luckily for us, my wife can measure better than I can and the bikes ended up fitting.

This is what we ended up with after everything was kinda put together. Our land lady wanted it on wheels so she could access to the door, so we ended up with something slightly different and taller.

With the false leg out and then we just pull the bikes straight out.

And it closed and pretty like, the trees were Bekah's idea and we just used contact paper to cover it. I think we are going to add some pretty leaves to it as well but generally speaking I am pretty happy.

I am going to try to add more pictures and narrative later, and also put it up on http://www.instructables.com/home which if you haven't you should check it out.
