Whee! kathrynt and I are sadly not well-enough known to make the blurb, though. Also of interest to me is CD versions of IK back issues, $20 for a year's worth of issues. I think I may have to get them considering how the kids have been destroying magazines ( Read more... )

The list is here. I'm going to put in for the lottery for Nancy Bush's Estonian lace class, because of course I am. But if I don't get into it, I will try for Judith MacKenzie McCuin's silk class, which is sadly at the same time (I would love to take both. Also, that's ( Read more... )

So we noticed these fancy things in the lobby of the Washington Mutual center as we were heading to the parking lot after our concerts. And in the wake of the failure and takeover, they struck us as funny in that schadenfreude way, so I snapped some crappy cell phone pix.
