Lapse of judgment

Tonight at KIP at Letizia's I told stories about the Man. A few months ago, I wrote about his idea of stuffing paper napkins in his armpits to extend the wearing of a shirt. He told me that he went to breakfast the other morning at a restaurant on Lincoln Avenue, and after he was seated, he noticed his napkins protruding out of each sleeve of his shirt. This story, like so many other Man stories, got a very big laugh. I did confess to the Man that I told people this story. I would love to see a television sitcom about the Man and his silly world, all the crazy characters that he knows, like Mr. Imagination the bottle cap artist, and Ronnie Woo-Woo of Wrigley Field fame. Today I bought a few more dog mannequins from my friend Sandy, who's moving her business and doesn't want to take them. That makes for 8, practically a kennel full of plastic life size dogs. I'll probably go back and buy some display grids to add to my collection. I'll need some display that can be set up and transported easily. I found out tonight that I'm going to be a vendor at the Renegade Craft Show in September. I was in the first one, in 2003. This time it's two days, which will be a pain because the set up has to be taken down on Saturday night to be set up again on Sunday. I'll either buy or borrow a canopy, and get a cooler full of beverages so it can be a little party/picnic for all my knitting friends who want to stop by. Hopefully I'll have some book related media by then. I know I said before that I would not do another outside show. I'm hoping that the weather cooperates, and it won't be beastly hot, or rain enough that Wicker Park turns into a mudslide like last year. In another lapse of judgment, I applied to the Rockwell Crossing Art Walk again, for October.
