The [2017 Spring Equinox Storytelling and Sushi Feast](/2017_Spring_Equinox_Storytelling_and_Sushi_Feast) was held on Sunday, March 19, 2017 in Seattle and Ottawa/Gatineau. We ate a sushi lunch in Seattle and a sushi dinner in Ottawa. [Ben](/Ben) introduced his parents and the Sanders to Ravenna Park, where lots of other people were also out celebrating the new season. Then we joined the two locations via Skype for a selection of unusually emotional stories:

- Judy's story about a dying bonsai tree
- [Eric's story](/Cliath_and_Xendo_IV) about a nuclear war on a terraformed colony world
- Michelle's story about an inventor whose coffeemaker was redesigned to make it environmentally destructive rather than beneficial
- [Ben's story](/Last_Respects) about aliens studying the ruins of human civilization after we destroy ourselves
- [Sequoia](/Sequoia) and [Ren](/Ren)'s story about the battle-bot champions of Venus

Then to cheer ourselves up, we finished the evening in Seattle with a round of Evolution with the Flight expansion. In Ottawa, [Eric](/Eric) and [Michelle](/Michelle) visited their cottage to begin the process of preparing it for summer. There's a 60-km recreational trail connecting it to Buckleberry, so they are excited about planning events that make use of that connection.
