Hey everybody!
Well, after some brief agonizing, I'm about to rip out more knitting and redo it. The last part of this project (for Danielle) is SO going to go right the first time. If it doesn't, I will scream so loudly Liz will be able to hear me from Chicago.
Off the knitting front, things are going well. I got to see a really neat concert last night at the church where my mom works. These two performers, Jonathan Rundman and Beki Hemingway, led a 5:00 worship service and had a free concert at 7. Beki lives in Colorado, so I don't get to see her play that often, so that was cool, and Jonathan always puts on a really fun show. Also, he has two adorable children, Paavo and Svea, and Paavo was there. In a sweater his grandmother knit for him out of Homespun!
Jonathan is the guy that I've been trying to get to come play in Oberlin. I realized that when he comes, the Firecones! should open for him. It would be so great!
I was actually going to see Jonathan play twice this weekend, but the first opportunity (at a coffee shop) fell through. Why?, you ask. Because my mother was having surgery on her foot. It was a three hour surgery, scheduled to begin at noon, and she didn't get into the OR until 3. Since one of us needed to be around to pick her up, my dad and I didn't make the 7:00 show. Instead, I went out for pizza with my brother. I guess that was okay.
Musically, I'm off the obsessive Hairspray kick, sort of. Been listening to a lot of Daft Punk.

Of course, some of us never get off the obsessive Hairspray kick, we just go through phases of intensive listening and phases of less-intensive listening. Personally, I've been really getting into the Buffy musical episode obsessively lately.
Concerts are good, but family time is also important. I hope your mom's feet are doing well.
about the knitting thing: you can totally do it! in fact, i've taken to calling you 'super knitter' in casual conversation with people who don't know you. hope that's not too creepy.
