This year Tammy & I went to the Rock N Roll Craft Show. It was their 'opening' day this year, and for the first time ever, they were charging entry fees of $10 Friday, and $2 Saturday & Sunday. The catch was that if you were of the 1st 50 people, you got a goody bag. This, of course, prompted us to get there and wait, just in case others were goody bag oriented too. So. We get there. And we wait. And wait. And decide to call Heather and tell her to come to the party. So she gets there, and it's like 10 til. And still there is no one waiting like us. I'm thinking, "That's really strange... This was huge last year." So then the door opens, and yeah - we're at the wrong venue. They changed it this year. Woo. So, we rush to the real RRCS to find that the goody bags are for the 1st 50 *shoppers* - so we walk around, and shop. As with every craft show ever, some things are better than others. I ended up getting 2 little magnet sets and a fused glass cupcake pin. We go to check out, and get out bags. Then funnel cake. Then it's a rush to the car to see if it's awesome. The polite answer? "Not at all awesome." In real life, I have many terrible things to say about the RRCS this year. The crafts for sale were okay, only a few really neat vendors. The 'extras' that have made the RRCS so awesome in many years past were not there. There used to be huge give aways and free stacks of magazines at the entrances and craft demonstrations. I thought maybe that's what the goody bags were this year. Nope. They were just fliers and ads. Not even discount flyers. Just crappy flyers for things that no one cares about anyway. And they charged to get in. Which was barely worth even $2 in my opinion.

Anyway. After that we went to Kirkwood Knittery to make our gift registries and then to Dewey's Pizza for a late lunch. It was a good day for pizza and chatting.

After we all returned to our cars, I came home and got a few things done, then went to the store which was shockingly barren. I guess Turkey Day really wiped it out. There really wasn't anything other than water and milk that I needed anyways, so maybe it was good that the store was picked over. :)

Scott got back around 6ish and we talked about some things then watched the Office (season 3, disk 4) before heading out to a bar in the county to see some of his high school classmates, since this weekend is their 10 year reunion. The bar was smokey and I got hit on several times by the same very, very drunk person, but all in all it was neat to chat with a few of the people I'd talked to briefly before.

Tomorrow is turkey day - pt 2. I'm way too excited.
