Peter Frampton Lives in Indian Hill

I found this article kind of interesting so I thought I would point it out. First, I find it very interesting that Peter Frampton actually lives in Cincinnati and even more interesting that he choses to live in Indian Hill where his political views are obviously not shared with his neighbors. Indian Hill residents hosted a fundraiser with Sarah Palin a couple of weeks ago with a minimun donation of $2500 required for attendance. Obviously the McCain/Palin campaign caters mostly to the type of people/income level that resides in Indian Hill. So, I guess Peter Frampton shouldn't be surprised by this opposition. I say good job to Mr. Frampton for standing up for what he believes in even when he's surrounded by so much opposition.

Natalie Portman

I guess its better late than never. Here are some pictures I snapped of Natalie Portman while she was in town for the Vote Early Rock Late event on Fountain Square. She was kind enough to stand around back stage after speaking to let people take pictures and chat. She seemed very laid back and nice. She's definitely as beautiful in real life as she appears in movies!
Enjoy!

Red Bull Soapbox Race Cincinnati 2008

This past Saturday Cincinnati was very fortunate to be host to one of the craziest races ever created, the Red Bull Soapbox Race. The event occurred on the steep hills of Mt. Adams and drew crowds of nearly 30,000 people! I was fortunate enough to get to spend the day with one of the teams who happens to have OTR connections. Melinda Voss (an OTR resident) and her brothers and sister were members of Team BullFish #21.
Though their team didn't take home 1st place, they did have an awesome time and managed to have one of the most memorable crashes of the entire event, earning them a perfect score for showmanship!
The day was absolutely amazing. There were so many hilariously creative teams and everyone who came out to the event had a great time watching all the ridiculous antics, such as batman and robin fighting the bullfish and Jesus with the disciples dancing to hip hop with Mr. T.
Here are some brief youtube videos of the event I found:
Bull Fish
More Bull Fish
Bull Fish Again!
The Last Supper
Stapler
Red Bull
3-Way
Kool Aid Man
Gnome Mobile
Mummy's Revenge
There will soon be lots more video footage of the event online I'm sure, but for the time being here are some pictures I took to hold everyone over. Enjoy!
