Timmy RL Fake and Chairman of the Bored's blog: "Timmy"

My friend Gary lives a couple miles out a ridge overlooking the Ohio River Valley. When I drive up there, I always think 'Why? No cable, rough road that is impassable a lot of days in the winter'. He lives in what he calls "The Pigpen Penthouse" a round room he built on top of an old pig barn 30 feet off the ground. Standing in his deck looking out across the hills I know why. It would be an incredible way to wake up every morning. Every October Gary has a Harvest party for everyone in the area who wants to come and share something they have made or just themselves. The party has been covered by The New York Times and Ohio Magazine. My friends John and Mary Ann, owners of Baristas ( www.baristascafe-pub.com ) do the decorating and some of the food and drinks. Everyone brings food or wine, there's live bands, a pig roast, and plenty of interesting people. I wish I had more room in my pics to post but I'll put some here. It really is a unique, fun, and relaxing party that I look forward to every fall. Gary, pictured below serving guests
