as a naughty knitter (kinky and into crafts)

*and as some of the projects I wanted to knit would be considered by traditional knitting groups "odd"

was thrilled to discover your group

*unfortunately I live a few hundred miles away

though I may have friends coming down for Folsom (fair)
and they have offered me a lift (part way)
will be making my own way back
(we are still trying to work out timing on that)


I would REALLY like to stay a few days
(just really bad timing budget wise)
and then I would not have to pop out of town
the next day
[but actually have time to meet folks
in a casual way,
and explore the city,
would love to attend some social get-together (definitely would love to meet your group), munches, art shows,
maybe the odd kinky event..and then would be so thrilled to attend the burlesque thing that will be happening near that date]

*VERY much want to attend a burlesque convention that happens the following weekend
[just do not want to get stuck for somewhere to stay and cannot book travel till I can do that../ and expensive trip just for one day
(can buy a pass for the convention before I head down there)the burlesque festival is the weekend after Folsom (first weekend in October)
and I do have someone I could stay with for a couple of days in San Fransisco,(who I was looking forward to meeting)but did not want to impose longer than a couple of days....
might anyone be able to offer me a place to stay
( as would mean the difference between spending two -three days traveling each way (bus/train and car)for ONLY one day in town OR getting to actually explore the city,meet interesting people, attend wonderful functions,be inspired by creative people and art exhibits, and get a feel for the fetish scene there,possible make connection (friends/maybe future playmates) when I am more flush
[bad timing on this trip budget wise(just had dental work done,ouch/thus the tight budget) BUT still wanted to come down for creative reasons ,for inspiration and to meet inspiring and interesting people ,also would be wonderful to put faces to folks I have only seen post online..make new friends)maybe with the right chemistry meet playmate worth coming back to see and attend events with.

really hope I can stay the extra days(again depends if any one is kind enough to offer me somewhere to stay)

oh, and can any of you (again I can only go see them if I can stay somewhere,as will not have time in one day to check them out)if any of you can recommend any upcoming arts or craft exhibits, and what yarn stores do you recommend (as I can always have them ship me things when I get home ,so still worth checking out where I am in town)
