How did you survive the Halloween Nor'easter? I'm happy to say that we are back on the grid after 16+ inches of snow and no power or Internet for 2 days - which explains my delay in recapping last week's fantastic <b>Bathroom Blogfest 2011</b>!<br />
<br />
Below captures the entries from Friday, the last official day of Bathroom Blogfest 2011, as well as from the weekend with a few more blog articles. Thank you to the very faithful and creative members of the Bathroom Blogfest community for surpassing expectations and redefining what 'Climbing Out' means with the 41 blog articles listed below!<br />

Her note said "<i>rather amusing, sometimes obscene</i>" [which in its succinctness reminded me of my all-time favorite line "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDrABWb9VIQ" target="new"><i>good tea, nice house</i></a>"].<br />
<br />
Stalls and Walls describes itself as "<i>A collection of jokes, philosophy, poetry, political commentary and art found in the bathrooms of the world."</i><br />
<br />
From the <a href="http://stallsandwalls.com/about/" target="new">About Stalls and Walls Page</a>:<br />
<br />
<i>"I have long wondered, when I sit enjoying a meal, reading a book, or drinking a tasty beverage, who amongst us are the people, armed with a pen, a sharpie, a piece of chalk, or a lighter, preparing themselves to make a visit to the restroom, not to simply “use the facilities” but instead to leave something potentially more permanent behind....</i><br />
<br />
<i>Some establishments keep a vigilant eye on their bathrooms and quickly paint over any blemish encountered. Yet, other establishments let their customers make and leave their mark, creating a running history for all those who visit the restroom. In either circumstance the messages are perishable, which is why I felt Stalls and Walls would be the perfect place to share and make a record of those deserving notice...."</i><br />

Unfortunately, I don't notice much activity since June 2010. Nonetheless, there's still plenty there to... appreciate!<br />
