The Next Decade

I am a week and 2 days into experiencing a whole new decade of my life. My 30’s. I’m wicked psyched! To herald in this momentous occasion Vogue Knitting Online Live was held in my honor. (This is a bit of an exaggeration baldfaced lie, but it did help convince me to go to NYC for my big day.)

Nerd Fun in Montague →

It’s a LARP based on Changeling: the Lost. Knowing one of the 3 people setting it up… it is bound to be fun, adventurous, and spirited. Note: My sister may be the biggest nerd I know and I wouldn’t have her any other way!
