My wife is really into knitting—and quite good at it—so she’s dragging me along with her to the Southeastern Animal Fiber Fair this weekend to look at wool, wool-related products and probably sheep for all I know.

We’re planning on going to the thing on Saturday, and I’m hoping we can make “Surface Designing With Felt,” so I can tell everyone that it’s really about me, The ‘Felt, and how I design things.

By any chance, slim though it may be, is anyone else going to this thing? It costs a whole $3 to attend.

Here’s the fest’s site: http://www.saffsite.org/dnn/Default.aspx

My mother-in-law is going, and we are having a delicious dinner of Mexican food tomorrow night.

You should go with. We could try on various knitted hats all day long.

why do wives think their husbands should go to these kinds of things?

Jessie isn’t going, so why should I?

Llamas. Surely, there will be llamas.

I’ll pass. Tomorrow I am working my part-time job and then spending the day shopping for and then creating music.

Does that mean you won’t be at the Orange Peel Sunday night because you will be all knitted out? Or Felt up?

No, I won’t be there. Elliston offered me tickets, but I really don’t want to make that drive twice in a weekend. Plus, I already know what’s best in WNC: You guys are!

I <3 MX Boarders!!! ;-P

yeah, by the btw, i am really mad no one here got even a mention in that “best of” list.

bullshit

Gods among insects, Piffy, gods among insects.

Did anyone interesting win anything? I can’t be bothered to read it, having worked on more Best Of issues than I care to remember.

Same old same old: a mixture of local fixtures, hip new places and people who stuffed the ballot boxes.
