A visit to the country & all sorts of press!

I got out of town for 24 hours of NON-work to go visit Micaela O'Herlihy. Micaela, for those of you who don't know shot the footage for Handmade Nation. Micaela and her family live out in the country in Wisconsin, a good 3+ hour drive from Milwaukee where I am based. Since I am out of town so much these days I took one of my three days home this month to make the drive out and see her new house, new baby (Oota) and her preggers belly
((and of course the cutttttte goats)! I also got to visit some other amazing friends of mine in the area, the Hodapp family
(more on them soon).


Aaron and I got back late last night and I was up early this morning to do a ichat interview//convo with Kate Bingaman-Burt for the upcoming release of our 20x200 edition that we did with artist jill bliss. More info on that blogged a few days ago HERE.

Then I rushed down to Aarons shop to use the landline for a live radio interview on the Kansas City NPR affiliate KCUR which you can listen to HERE. It was a quick one but they pulled a great audio clip from the documentary from Andrew Wagner and Kathie Sever which was a nice change of pace.

After that interview I ran some errands and picked up some local produce, plus, this this great plant for $8) at the Westown Farmers market. I only get one homecooked dinner this month and it's gonna be YUMS!

Today I also got news about fantastic press in the San Francisco Chronicle covering the screening next Friday as well as some local press from my friends over at The Decider.

Looking forward to my trip to Minneapolis this weekend. Don't forget to get your tickets a head of time at Crafty Planet. There are only 100 seats per screening!
