Forest Fair

Taz took me to experience one of my first Alaskan cultural event on Saturday. Okay, so it was just an arts and crafts fair/weekend celebration up in Girdwood. It is out in the forest though so it feels very Robin Hood-esque. It was nice to get out and mingle with another segment of the Anchorage area population. I've never lived somewhere with such a huge variety of people, it's quite interesting. There were also a fair speckling of normal people (AKA skiers). Matt Johnson (Middlebury) and Anna Barnwell (Colby) even had their own booth selling earrings that Anna made and silk scarves that Matt made. Those skier types are so impressive. They don't just ski!

(Also, as a side note, and probably (hopefully) the longest parenthetical comment I ever make, I really wanted to publish a blog yesterday at 7:07AM to commemorate the beautiful 07/07/07 date. But I was still asleep at seven in the AM. So next year on August 8th I will have another chance and this time I'll only have to be up by 8!)
