wale- next friday

You've got one week to plan a corduroy-centric fashion statement. Represent. In the meantime, the good folks over at the corduroy appreciation club have come up with 11 worthy diversions for the days leading up to 11/11/11.

best of MN state fair 2011

This is a biased review, limited in scope but totally worth noting.

Travis and I attended the State Fair spontaneously for a grand total of 2.5 hours Saturday night. I do not recommend showing up after 8 PM if you love cruising the Undergrand in search of Sham-Wow . The shopping networks close down by 9PM. But if all you want is a saturation of lights, smells, fried food and- what the heck- fireworks, make a fast and furious trip and do these things.

1) butterfly house

2) favorite fried sweet thing

3) juicy turkey sandwich on bun

4) giant slide- skirts welcome

5) pronto pup

6) sweet corn ice cream- just ask Rick

7) simultaneous viewing of fireworks and dance-off on Grandstand bridge-booties will shake

cost:

$12 entry

$12 parking

$3 adult butterfly pass

$6 fried sweet thing

$6 juicy turkey

$2 giant slide

$4 pronto pup

$4 rootbeer

$5 ice cream

FREE FIREWORKS

the anti-project

Downsizing. So many projects aren't worth doing. These were supposed to be a Jil Sander style remake of a school marmish Korean wool dress and a trench dress fashioned from original trench coat, the execution of which had me in a state of mild paralysis. I took them both to the Salvation Army.
