That’s where you find this video. And yet you can’t look away. Why can’t I look away?! Special prize to the person who can pick Thomas out of the crowd…

A short 27 years ago
There was another, similar, lineaged, but distinct Sounders team. And they made it to Soccer Bowl ’82. And their jerseys were awesome. Enjoy the Sounders of yore.

Bunny Balltastic
You people looked GOOD at Bunny Ball 2. Just look at yourselves. No, seriously, go for it. Here’s a smattering, with the rest found at the website of Patrick Lennox Wright Photography. It’s the goodness.
More pics after the jump.

The rise of the VoteBot Army
VoteBot: not a player, just crushes a lot.
Oh. You haven’t heard?
First there was VoteBot. She was tough. She could do it all. And she did. All of it. But 2009’s a new year, with new challenges, and VoteBot is looking for some back up. And so she’s planning. And she’s building. And she’s recruiting.
For the VoteBot Army.
Yes. The VoteBot Army. We said it. And you can be a part of it. To enlist, just contact the Bus – info(at)washingtonbus(dot)org – and tell us how many people you’re going to get to vote in the August 18th primary.
There’s no wrong answer. You can do it. Tell yourself: I am a VoteBot. Yo soy VoteBot. Join us. Join the VoteBot Army. We’re coming.
And now, VoteBot versus the devil. Dance-off!

Feels good to talk about home
It’s 110% official. There’s been a new Seattle anthem since last year – Jake One’s “Home,” featuring local legends Vitamin D, Maneak B, and Ish (aka Butterfly from Digable Planets). And guess what? Now there’s a video to go with it. Talk about hometown pride, this is full of it. Watch it, and welcome to Seattle.

Art is for lovers
Twitter 1.0 - c/o Bald Man
Just like Virginia. Anyway. We love us some street art here at the Bus, and we like the local blogs that keep tabs on the latest goodness. For your perusing pleasure, please enjoy Bald Man Is Watching (named after the semi-ubiquitous wheat paste/sticker spotted in various locales), To Fear It Is To Know It (a window into the brain of local street art guru Damion Hayes) and Seattle Graffiti (uh, duh).
An interesting reinterpretation of art and public spaces.

Hot new goodness
Sometimes months go by, and the good music world seems to have dried up. And then a song pops onto your radio at nine pm on a Tuesday evening, and everything gets better. Would ya believe this exact thing happened last night? Well, it did. And the song that blew this Bus’s mind out of the water was The Field’s “Everybody’s got to learn sometime.” Check those chord changes! And sustained notes! It’s the kind of song you want to swim in. Enjoy.

Three things we love about you.
Bus. VIP. Ah yeah.
1) We love that you came out to Bunny Ball 2 at Havana. You, and hundreds of your new friends, got together to kick off the summer and begin the drive to the August 18th primary. And you got to shake your groove thang. That’s a home run.
2) We love that you signed up to get your friends to vote in the August 18th primary. All told, Bunny Ball attendees made pledges to get 598 (we counted) of their friends to vote, and believe you me, we’re going to help you follow through.
3) We love that we were able to celebrate the champions of our Mile High Club contest – Zanne and Kasi cleaned up the field with new monthly members, and got to hold down the VIP loft in Havana (ie: that picture just up top).
All in all, a huge and smashing success! Thanks to everyone for coming out, and for putting the primary election front and center as summer creeps out of the cave its been huddling in. And special thanks to all our partners for another awesome Bunny Ball: Spacecraft, Sno Con, PLWP Photography, Caffe Vita/Via Tribunali, Havana and Adam Haynes.
More pics coming soon….
A classy, if somewhat odd, rendition of Mr. Bogart
Today is the deadline to turn your PowerCorps applications in! Thanks to the many folks who have already applied, and if you’re still putting the finishing touches on your application, the name of the game is Hustle. Lock in!
