Oh So Crafty!

Went to the renegade craft fair today in Williamsburg. I loved it. I felt like I belonged there. Though I don't think I looked like i did. Among all the home made and Goodwill clothing I stood out like a sore thumb in my Aeropostale collared shirt and newly cut hair.

I asked Oksana and Josh to come along for the fun. Josh's greatest accomplishment that day was finally figuring out how to refold the Brooklyn map. He's always good for a quiet laugh.

The greatest thing about the fair was it's location. At one time there was a very large and decorated public pool in Williamsburg, but that was long ago. Today it was the scene of one hundred or so booths featuring buttons, mirrors, hand made clothes, home made books, and lots and lots of crafty people.

I now long to learn how to work with leather. I want to make satchels and journals. It's rare that I desire such tactile works. Josh plans on leaning how to sow a suit. Together we will establish a new fashion elite.

Foxy and I made our best go of making it to a theater in Sheepshead bay. I hate the trains on the weekends. We ended up in Brighton Beach. Apparently this is where all the Russians make there home. It's a respectable place under the Q train tracks.

For any of you beer or BBQ lovers I've found a wonderful place in the north slope, on 6th and 20th. It's cleverly name BarBQ. The best thing is it's REAL BBQ. None of that Dallas BBQ crap that most people in this city confuse for BBQ. Plus they feature on tap a great summer ale called Magic hat. To top it all off the bar tenders make their own sauces. Try out the one called exhaust. The bar tender Mike plans on selling the stuff outside the bar. I've never tasted a more perfectly balanced BBQ sauce.

Off to bed in my not so homie carpentry shop.
