What a crazy, crazy weekend this past one turned out to be. Podcast Interviewing, Yarn Harlot, Maker Faire. Too crazy! So crazy, in fact, I was done in and spent pretty much Sunday and Monday recuperating. I blame the corn dog, ice cream, energy drink combination. But, I must confess that it was so incredibly cool. It was one magical moment after another and boy, do I feel blessed.
So, this past Friday, Stephen and I moseyed over to San Francisco to interview the Yarn Harlot at her hotel. We literally were handed off from Jenny & Nicole, of Stash & Burn fame, who met with her before we did. I was hoping to be there for the interview, but we'll just have to settle for being fanboys and gush over the podcast when it's posted to iTunes.
We had a rip-roaring funny interview with Ms. Pearl-McPhee and then escorted her to the new Millennium (or rather, it was a new location for me). The food was spectacular and I had many new vegetables (some I had never heard of, like fiddleheads). Great beer, lovely company and super model waiters. What more could you ask for? Well, the icing on the cake was the prom night pics that we posed for at the hotel. I think the concierge was like, "I know she's famous, but I don't know exactly what for..." Obviously, not a knitter, but no mind.
Giddy with epicurean delights and fibertarian fantasies, we made our way to separate homes and dreamed of a world where the Yarn Harlot reigned. And speaking of reigning, that's exactly what she did at....
THE MAKER FAIRE. More on that with the next post.
There's a million crafters in Fiber City and we've all got a yarn to spin, knit, crochet, weave...
That is so awesome! You guys are supahstars!!!

ReplyDeleteWait, the corn dog, ice cream, energy drink combination has yet to fail me, so I'm sticking with it!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fabu weekend...
cool! I wish I lived even a fraction of a decent distance from any of her events! dern it
ReplyDeleteWell, if you and Anthony ever manage a trip to New England in the spring, I can try to scare up some fiddleheads. I never really developed a taste for them, but maybe I need to have an expert prepare them.
ReplyDeleteErrrr, excuse me? But where are the photos of the supermodel waiters?
