We like field trips right? Well, I have two for you all in the works.
It was mentioned before Christmas, that a jaunt to the Andy Warhol exhibition at GOMA may be in order. Nothing has come of it, so I’d like to bring it up again. Well, December is always a bit heavily booked anyhow. Has everyone recovered yet? I cannot say that I have, honestly, but I am ready to head on out. Now, this won’t be as cheap as our last outing to the Lifeline BookFest, but I don’t think anything could be really 
Entry to the exhibition will set you back $20 and high tea in the cafe comes in at $35 (should you feel the need). I have heard there are plenty of other goodies on offer in the cafe. The iced-coffee was described to me as sensational and the best ever. A big call, I know. Anyhow, I say it is a must do. If you are with me, drop a note with preferred times and such. Hmmm, perhaps this will finally be the inspiration I need to finally try some colour-work. Could be scary
Now, my other suggestion is one you may not have heard put forward yet. This one really is a road trip, and so will need a little more planning. We have been invited by new Ravelry member Mudjimbagirl to a special sale at her yarn store Jenny King Designs. It is up near Maroochydore and is usually only open 2 1/2 days a week. She has offered to open the store especially for us if we can arrange a car load. I think we can do that. The sale is 25% off everything (and up to 75% off some things) and the idea is to get the word out that the store is there and to lure folks in to take a look. Seems to me, that should do the trick She stocks Lano Gatto, Debbie Bliss, Filatura DiCrosa, Mondial, Naturally, Sirdar, Te Awa and some hand painted mohair too. What do you say gang? Obviously I will need to gather more details and I’ll post ‘em when I get ‘em. A little research will need to be done too, on account of the trip being a little longer than I am used to. Anyone know a nice place to lunch on the Sunshine Coast? I’m a Gold Coast gal myself. I get lost north of the CBD. I can find Morayfield, but that is about the extent of it.
I think after Meg’s report we really have to get motivated and head up there. If nothing else to see the magical beading machine.
We could also perhaps have a little snb at the GOMA cafe without entering the exhibit. It’s a nice spot. The tea is bagged, but drinkable. And we can check out the free exhibitions next door at the state library, which are usually really good
Yes, I agree.
Also just heard that WWKIP Day is the 2nd Sat of June. That is plenty of time, but we should start throwing ideas around soon. Found the flickr group for last years pics http://www.flickr.com/groups/wwkipday/pool/ check out the dude about 4 pics in with the giant needles. Now THATS spectacle! Clearly we have not been showing off enough
