Artsy Putt putt putt.

This Sunday, local artists, designers, and pancake-makers will transform the interior of Holocene into a playable mini golf course, in anticipation of the opening, two days later, of the fourth annual Holocene Minigolf Invitational.
From Holocene's website: "What exactly can you expect at this year's tourney, you ask? You'll be navigating your way through giant mushroom forests, maneuvering into a wooden tiger, and puzzling quantum physics with Schrodingers Cat. And just in case a night with Heaven, Hell, and the Willamette River doesn't impress you: there's gonna be pancakes."
Doors open to the public on Tuesday and Wednesday; 6 pm, $8. It will be fun (into a wooden tiger, they said). I'm going to stop by Holocene on Sunday to get some photos of the installation, but until then, here's a video of one local designer working on his... you know, hole. God.
