Slide Show of stills from “A Subdued Doc” — click on any thumbnail to begin.
The summer of 2010 marked the tenth anniversary of the Subdued Stringband Jamboree, first held in September then moved to August, at the Deming Logging Show grounds near Bellingham.
Robert Sarazin Blake, my nephew, is the surviving co-founder of the two day music festival and it’s producer. I did a short documentary of the jamboree in 2004 that became the jumping off point for this documentary celebrating 10 years.
A 45 minute version screened at the Boundary Bay pub in Bellingham on July 1st, then edited down to 30 minutes and copies made for sale at the 2011 Jamboree.
Surprise! It’s available on this website at the special two-for-one price of only $15. A secret deal only for readers of this post — make the purchase of one copy for $15 and I will included a second one, no questions asked. (And it includes taxes and shipping!)

Hope to see you at this year’s Jamboree, August 10 and 11, 2012!

A google search deep into a third page offers up no hint as to the origin of the old adage, you only get one chance to make a first impression — but I assume it was around long before we began designing websites.
Galen Jefferson, owner of the women’s apparel company, Two Dog Island, was my first client way back when designing an artful front page was standard web 1.0 practice — one that required a clever Enter the site button. Fortunately, Galen is a practical business woman who taught me that the home or front page must be about the product and not about the unbaked tricks of this new medium.
For the past several years now, we have been changing the home page art when the new product line is available for ordering, in the spring and fall. This past year we began using a dress form that Galen was using at trade shows. We named her Trudie.
This month, announcing the Fall 2011 product line, we decided to create a gathering of Trudie’s showing the new garments; and, much to my surprise, Galen agreed to join the party.
