Tonight!

Tonight from 7pm - 10pm my Craft Mafia is appearing at the "Best of City Beat" because we were chosen as the best shopping event in town!

It sounds like a really cool event. It is $15 if you buy tickets online (and $20 at the door) but all of the proceeds go to benefit the Children's Museum!

For $15 you get to have beer samples from some of the City Beat Best local microbreweries (like Port Brewing Co, mmmm, my favorite!) And you get food samples from some of the City Beat Best restaurants (and there are some pretty upscale places included in here!). You also get a free CD of Best local music. And there will be entertainment including circus acts and music. So it sucks that it costs money, but a lot of similar things I go to (like a "Taste of Hillcrest") cost like $30 so this doesn't seem to bad. And it is for charity! It is being held at the brand new Children's Museum!

So if you are interested you can go to http://www.sdcitybeat.net/bosd/ to buy tickets.

You can plug an iPod into just about anything....

Today I saw this advertised on the JoAnn website and I could not stop laughing!


It is the "Rock Paper Trimmer" by Friskars. It is a paper trimmer (like for scrapbooking) and you can plug your ipod right into it and play music on it's speaker. It's $99, but it is currently on sale at JoAnn's for $69. I mean I guess that is cool if you like music and cutting paper, but for $10 you can get a regular paper trimmer and for like $15 you can get ipod speakers, so I am just not sure I would pay so much to get them combined, but hey, I am a cheap bitch.
