Back to where it aaaaaall began..

Well, this weekend I'm off to clothe the masses once again in Mermaid style. Headed down the highway 101 to lovely Ukiah, California for the annual Pumpkinfest. Woooo!

It's always exciting to try a new festival... this one happens to be located in the city of my birth. Also the resting place of my grandparents.

I have many fond memories of childhood visits to Ukiah. My grandparents' house with the glass doorknobs and that photo of Grandpa in his Andy Griffith style police uniform. The park down the street with the cool rocketship slide. Strawberry ice cream cones and Archie comics from the cigar shop downtown, where everyone knew Grandpa. Eating tomatos out of Grandma's garden. That sort of stuff...

So, I plan on driving by the old house and park while I'm there, maybe to the cemetary if time permits.

And I hope to make a little cash also. I have been sick at home for a couple days, but I'm determined to have fun in the sun this weekend! Woohoo!

    There are some other places to visit whilst you are there.

    Go to the fairgrounds and see if there are a couple big weeping willows on the south end of the parking lot. My first blow job.

    Go to Yokayo School and take a look at the bleachers in the back of the football field. My first gang bang, my first piece of tail, and my first episode of cunnilingus, all during the same episode.

    Um...you mean after all four of us are done? Ok...

    It's been downhill since then...

    Head out Low Gap Road to the second road going off to the left. My second gang bang. No cunnilingus this time, too many guys in line...

    And, what do you mean your grandparents are just resting? Shit, I thought they were croaked all these years...

    You need to change your location (on your profile) to Eureka, since you don't live in Arcata anymore.

NEW *Creative* Beer Can Hat Tutorials All *NEW* Beer Can Party Hat Tutorials are Actually COOL! Okay. Carry on.   I'm going to attempt to share with the world my pattern for the coveted Beer Can Hat. Some years ago I started making these and spread them around to many friends and unsuspecting acquaintances. I believe they originated during the 70s cheesy crafts era, which I completely adore. Many a birthday party have I attended bringing a 6 pack of beer, a skein of yarn, a couple compact tools... and a few hours later, left the host with a special party hat and gift made right before his drunken eyes. Now YOU can be that fascinating craft nerd, amazing your friends at parties. Or just drinking and crocheting at home.  Al

For those who prefer a written pattern, here you go: Sl st into corner hole, ch 3 (counts as 1 dc). Work 2 dc into same hole. *Work 3 dc into next hole and each hole across.

Make the Base (Top):   I call this part of the hat the Base because that's where a hat usually begins. Crochet the Base of the hat from the Basic Hat Pattern . Work in the dc stitches as described until the underlined number is 4. You should end up with a nice circle that has 60 sts around the outer edge. Do not tie off. 6. Join the Base to the Crown: Hold the Crown and the Base wrong sides together with the labels facing you and matching up the stitches as you work.
