So I did not get a ride to the craft fair from Sharon's friend. Her car was full, so I took the bus instead. I did, however, get to stay the night with one of Sharon's old school friends, which was fantastic because hey, I saved $20 and got to meet some new people, plus watch the Daily Show for the first time in 3 months!
I went to the craft fair on Saturday morning. I took a class where I knitted a beaded bracelet, then I wandered around to look at the exhibits and go shopping for the rest of the day. It was pretty great. There were two different quilt exhibits, plus one fiber arts exhibit. I am continually impressed (and made jealous!) by the ingenuity of other people. Sadly, none of my pictures turned out very well (and probably violate the spirit, if not the letter, of intellectual property rights), and I can't get Blogger to upload them right now, otherwise I would share them with you.
I will leave you with this: coverage of the Undie 500, a pub crawl in which engineering students drive from Christchurch to Dunedin in modified cars bought for under $500. This year, there were 2 nights of rioting in Dunedin following the event. The police RAN OUT OF PEPPER SPRAY trying to control the situation. Let me repeat that: they RAN OUT OF PEPPER SPRAY. I can't even wrap my mind around it.

Hi Lauren;
The craft fair sounds cool, one where you actually do a craft, not just look at them! Hard to believe it's fall now here, I guess that is Spring there, still hard to get my mind around you being on the flip side of the planet!
