I can't win the prize (though I wish I could), so I decided to show off more than just one photo from a recent hot air balloon ride I took. If you're going to submit to the contest, make sure to only submit one photo, to make it fair.
Love their mussels (they sell fresh by the pound if you want to cook your own), their homebrewed Parrot Ale, and playing pool. An institution in Coupeville. Lack of street appeal makes it easy to walk on by (good for us locals), but a don't miss recommendation from me.
Skip Conversions = guerilla art + recycling + creative urban upcycling. My three favorites below (particularly the pool, which literally interprets the term "dumpster diving").
Fill an olympic-sized pool with jell-o and get someone to do a dive off the high dive into it, perhaps on fire, or naked, something to make it worth while because if you just wanted them to do a dive they would know something is up.

Start with a platform (just wide enough for someone to stand on) about ten feet in the air. This is our jousting area. Underneath the platform is an inflatable kiddie pool filled with...you guessed it...poo. Not bad enough already, Knoxville and the rest of the crew are standing on ground level with pee filled water guns to add insult to injury. Who wouldn't want to see Steve-O knock Danger Ehren into a pool of poo? Not to mention the great 3D effect you can get with the water guns. A stroke ...

Underneath our jousting platform is an inflatable kiddie pool filled with...you guessed it...poo. Too make things worse, on the ground surrounding this jousting match are Knoxville and the rest of the crew with water guns filled with pee. Try and tell me you wouldn't love to see Steve-O knock Ehr...

Hot Hot Heat / Voxhaul Broadcast / The Union Line @ Bootleg ($12) Hot Hot Heat continues it's Wednesday residency at the Bootleg Theater and the shows are so good.

Water is not the only lubricant that makes slides slippery. This is a simple prank in that you must trick a guy to fall down the slide.
This pool shooting video shows a way to use a cue ball that is frozen against the rail to hit the object ball directly into the opposite corner pocket without scratching. Hit with a high left English with an elevated cue, to deflect the cue ball off the rail just enough to hit the object ball into the corner pocket. Make a kick shot when the cue ball is frozen to a rail.
This tutorial shows two different ways to shoot a combination in pool where one element is a couple of balls that are frozen together. You can shoot the cue ball so that hits the lone ball, then deflects off the rail to hit the frozen balls, or you can do it in two shots. Using two shots is the more ordinary way of pocketing a ball and lining up the cue ball for the next shot, but it isn't as exciting. Shoot the cue ball into a frozen ball combination.
