The article about me knitting cunning Jayne hats and other stuff for sale is live. Looks like this is as far as you can go before they make you register. So I’ve scanned it below, and I also have a copy of the whole page as a very nice, very clear pdf.
Somebody’s reading it, because it’s not 8am yet and I’m getting Jayne hat inquiries from Charlotte. Tarheel Browncoats, unite!
Friday, my little blurb/interview appears in the Charlotte Observer.
Thanks to my superb super-secret inside connections, I have a copy of the interview in front of me. It’s on newsprint, exactly as it’s going to appear in the paper. In the picture accompanying the interview, I am wearing two hats (one Jayne, of course) and two scarves, clutching the ends of scarves in my hands. Mercifully, I am not twirling them around like an exotic dancer. I guess the ends stuck out too far to fit into the alloted space. However, I am clutching the ends of the scarf with my mouth wide open. I think I was going for “wacky and carefree” but it looks more like “I’m being eaten by a scarf monster.”
Heh.
OH MY GOD!
Not only did my Secret Pal send me another package of Tim Tams, she also sent a package of BLACK FOREST FANTASY TIM TAMS!
Mmmm…. cherry.
I love you, Secret Pal. You’re the bestest li’l Australian ever.
Regardless of the flat tire, a good time was had by all.
Today’s trip to the Renaissance Festival involved an extra special ride!
For our car!
On a jack!
After its tire went flat!
Whee!
Had a wonderful time at the Renaissance Festival with
More backchannel follies.
[Tvini] Why would you want a spellbook? Traders don’t need spellbooks.
[Ilanya] …
[Ilanya] Why wouldn’t a trader want one, huh?!?
[Tvini] Why would they?
[Wythor] A trader could sell one for a good profit…
[Ilanya] Scholarship, and they’re purdy
[Ilanya] And that too
[Tvini] To smack the yak?
[Tvini] Actually, “smack the yak” sounds like some kind of euphemism.
[Chakram] That a dirty euphamism (Tvini)?
[Chakram] Hehe.
[Tvini] hee!
[Ilanya] See, I’m telling you…
[Tvini] We’re in sync today.
[Chakram] (Ilanya) smacks her yak all the time, don’t you?
[Wythor] You should make that your new signature on the boards. “Go ahead… smack my yak.”
[Chakram] Trying to get it to go faster.
[Tvini] sidles up to the guild butler and says, “So… you wanna go smack the yak?”
[Ilanya] You guys are sick. SICK!
[Chakram] Glad you noticed.
[Ilanya] I’ve been trying not to.
Went in for my photo shoot at the Observer this morning. It would appear that the staff’s favorite shot is of me wearing two hats, with two scarves wrapped around my neck, twirling the scarf ends like a 50’s hoochie-koochie dancer.
So much for dignity.
