Riot and Frolic

*panting*

So excited.  

You know I've been thinking about world domination through crafts, right? 

Part One of The Takeover is in place: the first ever YODEL (Yarn Over, Drink, Eat… Legit) has a time and place. 

Monday, February 13, 2012 from 5-8pm.  Claddagh Coffee, St. Paul, MN.  Word.

I just reserved the adorable basement at the new and awesome Claddagh Coffee (459 West Seventh Street, St. Paul, MN, homies). It seats about 20 people, it's free to "rent" (they do ask that you buy something in exchange for loitering privileges), and their drinks and food are tasty.  Parking is on the street, so be prepared for a brisk walk if it decides to really be winter for a few more weeks.

Bring your knitting/crocheting/[insert other portable craft} skills or lack thereof over to the cooler Twin City and enjoy some coffee, cake, and camaraderie.  

Nerdiness, alliteration, and teachering of needle arts is free.  I'll bring a couple extra balls of yarn, hooks, needles, and patience (yes, a couple extra balls of patience). Stay for the whole night or drop in to say hi.  Invite your friends, co-workers, lovers, and neighbors!  The more, the merrier!  

Please RSVP via the comment section or on the Facebook event page. If we get many more than 20 people, I might have to change the location.  

If the #1 YODEL goes well, I think the #2 YODEL should involve alcohol.  Namely, by hosting it at a bar.  Hands up for that idea.

Keanu's younger brother is almost in.
