We Hit the Road
By Heather Swanepoel

I am so excited!  I can't wait.  I'm almost giddy.

The Brooklyn Renegade Show is just a few hours away.  We made it into town after what seemed like the drive that would never end & found our hotel which was a bit of a stresser because you never know what you're going to get.  By the looks of the parking lot, there are a few other designers staying here too.  I hope our paths cross.

I have been looking forward to this show since the Chicago Renegade show last September.  We had record rain fall that weekend (no, really I mean it... the most rain Chicago has ever gotten in a weekend in recorded history) & it was still an amazing show.  Those Renegade Girls really know how to put on an event.  I can't wait to experience the rest of their shows.  I've planned and plotted how in the world I could make it to the West Coast for their LA & San Fran shows.  It won't happen this year due to Mart, but if they'll let me we'll head west next year.

This weekend and all of the time I had to think made me conjure up a list of shows around the country that I would love to check out (my Wish List.)

Chicago Renegade
San Fran Renegade
LA Renegade
Chicago Holiday Renegade
Bazaar Bizarre, Boston
Stich, Austin (once they are a go again)
Art vs Craft, Milwaukee
Crafty Bastards, DC

There is always my favorite ICE shows, but those are easy since they are in Atlanta.  And I'm sure that a google search will pull up many many more that will soon be on my radar, but for now 8 is a reasonable number for me to try to work in.

Sure, it costs a little bit more to do these out of state shows.  Sure it takes longer to get there and back.  But what an experience.  Today we ate "local" in Durham, NC, DC & Philly.  We are going to expose NY to Rinse & help promote the Beehive Mt. Kisco store, & we get to check out the city.  What can be better than that?  Only if we come home empty...
