The faithful piper brought up the rear and missed the Sage Comet! Yes it would have been perfect for him to play while the comets were whirling. And he deserved to see the spectacle after the long march piping through Highland Park! Maybe he’ll come back next year. Thank you Highland Park Piper!
Also see video at the West Seattle Blog! Thanks WSB!
For the party, we’re asking for a $5 donation at the door ($10 for families), plus HPIC will have a bar offering wine and local draft beer for a small donation.

And we will be using the dishes donated by our friends and neighbors at this fall’s Harvest Dinner.
When the sky is so dark! From Astronomy Today’s Night Sky Guide:
On December 10, 2011, the Moon will slip completely into Earth’s shadow, viewable for residents in Australia and Asia. Europe and most of Africa will get to see part of the lunar eclipse at Moonrise, while North America can watch some of the eclipse at Moonset.
On December 10, the moon will be full at 6:36am in Seattle, and moonset will be at 7:52am.
Charlie’s Buns is here tonight, from 5 to 8pm. Yay!
But we don’t expect Lumpia World after all. From their Facebook page:
Good morning Fan Family. Hope everyone had a great weekend with you families. After much thought, BIG L MOBILE will not be out and about this week. HOWEVER, we will still be facilitating delivery / pick-up orders. Thinking of ordering frozen Lumpia for Thanksgiving appetizers, we will be processing orders up to 5pm on Weds. We will be closed Thursday & Friday.
More food choices and more days and times!
Saturday, 11am-3pm: Lumpia World, Curry Now and Charlie’s Buns
Sunday, 12pm-4:30pm: Big Food Mobile
Monday, 5pm-8pm: Lumpia World and Charlie’s Buns
Doors open at 6:30pm, movie at 7. Free admission.
We will be selling popcorn, candy and other movie fare.
Bring blankets and pillows or sit in our chairs.
Movie hint:
A cowboy and a spaceman are rivals at first, but then must learn to work together!
Derrick of Lumpia World did not want to miss the last two Saturdays at HPIC, but there were previous committments. But now he’s back… this Saturday with Curry Now and Charlie’s Buns.
These guys work so hard, cooking, setting up, serving food, cleaning up, packing up and always moving!
So love ‘em while they’re here: Saturdays 11-2, Lumpia World, Curry Now and Charlie’s Buns promise to serve us the variety of yumminess we crave!
And just to prove they mean it, Lumpia World and Charlie’s Buns are starting dinner service Monday nights, from 5 to 8pm. Another time, another mood to sample this deliciousness – right in the neighborhood!
