Gapers’ Block Party

The Gapers’ Block Party was a lot of fun. I went alone, and early, and thus stood around for quite a while looking like someone just ran over my cat. After a while, I talked to Cinnamon who asked me about my newly knitted wrist-band. She was very nice, and I liked talking to her, but I of course bubbled over and talked for way to long about it. After that I met Naz, and Andrew who were happy to see me. No, really - I felt like I’d already met them. Nikolai is from the Detroit area to, so we chatted about that for a while before I met Ramisin, Alex, Dave and Leigh. Most strange of all the connections I made that evening was with Alice, who just started working as a librarian with a dear friend of mine. I met PJ, who got there after the food was served, which was probably a good thing because there wasn’t much vegan fare.

I didn’t get to meet Shylo, although she was there and read a great piece, Country Girl in a Blues Town. I wanted to introduce myself, but she reminds me so much of someone I used to know I couldn’t bring myself to do it. The resemblance is striking, people. Uncanny.

Overall I had a great time. Everyone was so friendly and motivated. I hope I get to see some of these people again.

Cinnamon Monday! Jul 21 2003 // 3:50 pm Oh, darling, you didn't talk for too long at all. I regretted that I didn't talk to you longer. Very interested in other cool chicas who knit. I just commend you for wearing wool in the summer. I love the heat, but that's just awesome!
