5 Star Inaugurated

Does anyone remember the 2008 Beijing Olympics opening ceremony? The one with armies of small children and copious fireworks? Me too, it was nuts. Anyhoo, the 2012 Bus Fellows Inauguration at the South Lake Union Discovery Center was exactly like that. Except instead of having 2008 individual drummers conducting an elaborate light show (nixed at the last minute), we went the more Bus route - good people, good music, and an awesome slanty roof. Thanks to the 150-some folks who kicked off summer in sumptuous style with the Bus Fellows to be. Behold!

The Escher-esque slanty roof.

Bus Fellows Loryn and Yaye arrive!

'Twas a very special evening. Thanks to Vulcan for the incredible space, Tutta Bella for the tasty eats, 2am Posse for the dope tunes, the armada of Bus volunteers for making it happen, and the friends and families of our 2012 Bus Fellows for helping us launch a sublime summer!
