Pagan Pride Day (Raleigh NC) Who's going?

[stephyjh]

Yay Interview!

Definitely not going to make it. The other job is only going to be part time, and then only if my paperwork is approved.

Who's going to the one in Raleigh, NC, which is Sept 15th and 16th?

 
Are you going both days?  I think we might only be going up there the 15th... otherwise we have to find a friend to watch the dog and it becomes a production.

Aww, that leaks.

 I don't know. I might, but I am notoriously bad at being REALLY GEARED UP FOR STUFF and then sitting at home on the couch 'cause I can't get the effort to do something twice.

Three holy hells! You're sort of close to me, too! There could be car-poolage.  I would go that way on the way to Raleigh.

 
Are you planning on going tomorrow or Sunday? I just realized how soon it is, and it occurs to me that if we're going to do any car-poolage now would probably be a good time to figure it out.

I am going tomorrow, around mid-dayish.  

Let me talk with my friend and see if she is comfy giving out her email address since you'd be talking to her more-- she has more net access than I do.

I'm so jealous that y'all are getting to go. I'm stuck at work, since the preorders for the newest iPhone are going on. I asked my boss if I could be off and was informed that if I didn't show up this weekend, I shouldn't bother coming back.

Well, I don't need to do that again. I'd say a solid third of the booths were burning incense, which is a major asthma trigger of mine, so I spent my (short) time meandering around wheezing with my inhaler in my hand.

I hope anyone else who went (or is going tomorrow) had/has a better time!

I totally understand!  We (DH and I) ended up actually going yesterday and I was so incredibly surprised because I thought almost for certain that this was going to be another one of those things that we said we were going to do, but then one of us was gonna be like, "eh... do we have to??" last minute.  I was so suprised we actually went and omg, DH even had a blast! This was his first pagan event.  And we picked up so many awesome little treasures!

Hey, Juni, we sent you a text-- I don't know if you got it or not. We were there on Sat for a good part of the day.  Sorry we missed you!

Looks like you got bread from the Portugese (?) folks! I was there yesterday, too-- I wonder if we ever crossed paths.

Maybe!  I was wearing a strapless black sun dress.  My hair is black with pink streaks.  DH was wearing black jeans and a green t-shirt.  

Omg, the couple selling the bread were so sweet.  We got some magic bars too b/c DH had never had any and I was like "are you serious?!?"  The lady said we were just too adorable together. Anyway, I came home last night and sliced some garden tomatoes on the bread, with some shaved parmesan and a touch of olive oil and basil.  It was heaven.

I was wearing a red top and a red flower in my hair, with glasses.

I got it after I had already left- I was standing in the checkout line at Michael's and completely forgot to text you back. I'm sorry. I hope you guys had a good time!

You got there early! For the most part, we really, really enjoyed it.  I wish I'd been there as a vendor this year instead, though.  I really regret not being there in that capacity.
