Fun time at the Big Easel...


Following a wonderful evening of Chinese cuisine...music with fabulous Liz Coulliard, was time to chill...patrons having left..Tim sat, chatted with Pat Coulliard for awhile.  Several tables just beg being drawn on...and folks will find chalk actually on some of the tables for just that reason.

Larry Seiler...took advantage...and did a bit of sketching.  Here, we see Tim from the back...sitting at one of the tables, Pat across from him...the north wall with various art works hanging.

Hey...now, its your turn!  Next time you visit the Big Easel Bistro...express yourself.  Making art, surrounded by art!!!

Getting Crabby...

A SEAFOOD ODYESSY
Live Dungeness Crab, Live oysters, live mussels, live... live, live from
Canada... It is BIG EASEL Fantasical this weekend....
Not only are we bringing back a gastronomical feast... but we are
bringing back creative, tasty tidbits that will astound you... This
delight.... will more than amuse you.... This is not our usual
(wonderful) fare... this exceeds!!!!

 All of this at a  more than reasonable price.....

 We are off harvesting Dungeness Crab and other delights from the sea
today, so before we mortgage our first born for claws... we want to get
a 'kind of' head count... to insure that we will not have harvested in
vain... or too little.

So if we could perhaps see a show of emails... (it won't be written even
in jello) just to get a ballpark estimate...
