Harlot - St. Paul

Well - hopefully I am the first of the MANY blog entries that you will read concerning the adventures of the Harlot’s visit to St. Paul - here’s my story (no celebrity reader available):

I was kind of obsessed with the whole parking issue in St. Paul as I did not have a great experience the week before when I attended a class at The Yarnery last week so I decided to park my car on Summit off Lexington at 4:10 and hoof it to the Pad Thai Cafe (1.25 miles away) and met a great group of knitters for dinner.  I  did not take any pictures at the restaurant but you may see my evidence here or here.  The food was great! 

I hitched a ride over to the hall with Amy and Chris.  There was a long line when we got there - about 1/2 of the 400 people must have arrived early for the 6 pm door opening.  Here is a picture of the group when I arrived: .  The room was packed when everyone got there!  I had a lot of fun talking with people in the room.  I saw old friends and met many more!  I am not even going to try to list them all - too many!  The Harlot was great - I really enjoyed myself!  I did not stick around for the signing though but here is a picture from my vantage point (about the middle of the room).  I am very happy with the picture as my battery power on my camera is horrible but the amazing power of PhotoDraw “brighten” feature came to the rescue once again!  I present…The Harlot:

    I’m glad I got to see you at Willie Mitchell and you were tres brave to walk so far — it was freakin’ cold! I was wearing two turtlenecks, two sweaters, and long underwear. I got a little warm in the auditorium.
