i wish......

that we weren't already booked the first weekend in may this year......because i discovered something very interesting, that heavily pertains to my latest fiber obsession.......

the maryland sheep and wool fest is about 2ish hours from here.

and we're already booked.

i of course sent the website to drogo...........threw a fit........made sure that the event really was already booked for us......and that there was no way we could split the weekend, and i would go to the sheep and wool adn he would go merchanting............dammit...............

so of course, we're looking into (when they get the vendor's apps on the page for 2009) merchanting there.

this, according to their publicity, is the largest sheep adn wool fest in the country........to provide a reality check, a woman on one of the forums i frequent (i think it's the knitty coffeeshop) is trying to make plans to come up this year.........from TEXAS. yes, that's right, if driving, a three day (ish) trip...........each way.............trust me, i've driven from philly to houston, i know how long this takes (and it feels like forever)...............

so, this post is an official whine of "but i wanna go!!!"..............

but don't think i'm not trying to figure out and plot how to turn this into a rabenwald field trip for next year, for myself and maybe another fiber junkie or two (you know who you are!!!).........

and yes, this idea will be updated...............
