Oh boy, I’m so excited about this! I’m going to be in the Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago this weekend! Stop by and see my if you’re around! This week, I shipped a pretty giant box to my sister-in-law’s place– almost sixteen pounds of octopi and infrastructure! Crazy. I can’t wait.
We’re also going to get to see (briefly) my niece and nephew and sister-in-law, and some of Adam’s friends. I love Chicago, and have wanted to see it in colder weather, so I can maybe stop thinking about moving there. Or decide that I can cope with it, and continue to think about moving there. Hmm. We’ll see. It is supposed to be in the low 30s, which is brutal for someone who’s lived in San Francisco for as long as I have. Eek!
The fair goes from 11-7 Saturday and Sunday. I’m on the first floor, in the main auditorium, in booth 10. I just got the best hat ever from my friend Sarah, and it is going to be great with the dress I made for the show.
Pictures next week!
This is how I spent my summer vacation. There are so many many amazing things about this project! It’s one of the coolest things I’ve ever done, and I got to meet and work with dozens of genuinely nifty people. As soon as I have my own pictures developed (yeah, I know), I will post them, but for now, get thee to a flickr search!
In other news, I am going to have a table at the Alternative Press Expo in October. It’s a two-day show, and it should be very very cool indeed. Come look at comics and zines and ponder the wonderousness of the crazy octopus hats I’ll have there. October 17th and 18th at the giant Concourse building on Brannan and 7th in San Francisco (right where My Bloody Valentine played last year, oooh). Admission is $10 for one day or $15 for both (or free if you went to Comic Con this year and still have your badge).
Had a fantastic time at the Indie-Mart in August, and actually sold out of octopi! I’ll be at the Indie-Mart again on November 8th. This is a very fun outdoor show with a relaxed beery party atmosphere, and I like it a whole big bunch. More details as it gets closer!
Today was sortof a big day for me, as I finally got my California Seller’s Permit. Now I’m real!
And that’s all for now.
