I also like to buy fashion magazines (and other magazines with more pictures than words) and read them on the plane because the bumps and shaking aren't as noticeable. For example, when I read a book and there is a bump, I will notice because my line of sight will change, but it isn't as noticeable when I am looking at an Oscar dress.silverarrowknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10670549941618795813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-1149797407482264922006-06-08T16:10:00.000-04:002006-06-08T16:10:00.000-04:00I'm thirding (or forthing or fifthing) the recomme...I'm thirding (or forthing or fifthing) the recommendation for Mass Ave. It's had a revamp and a reorganization (I suspect) since Courtney's been there, and it's quite easy to navigate. There's also a large sale room.<BR/><BR/>Someone will probably try to seduce you into trying out the newest Indianapolis yarn store, "Knit Stop." I won't trash it publically, but I will suggest that you don't bother with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-1149788599490494362006-06-08T13:43:00.000-04:002006-06-08T13:43:00.000-04:00Hi!

Mass Ave Knit is, confusingly enough, not on Massachusettes Avenue but on Virginia Ave. which, while not in walking distace, is only about 5 minutes away. Ann and Kay from MasonDixon Knitting will be there on Saturday afternoon signing books too.<BR/><BR/>The best fun, non-chain local places to eat are up Massachusetts Ave which is NE of the convention center. I recommend McGilvery's (Scottish), Yats (Cajun/Creole) and the Chatterbox for good live jazz. A little to your south there is El Sol de Tala for Mexican food and the Slippery Noodle for blues. The Ram is a good brew pub just around the corner (lots better than Alcatraz)<BR/><BR/>Enjoy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-1149782489175684742006-06-08T12:01:00.000-04:002006-06-08T12:01:00.000-04:00I've Delurked, and I'm proud. :)Carol is indeed ve...I've Delurked, and I'm proud. :)<BR/><BR/>Carol is indeed very, very nice.<BR/><BR/>...and what would Dolores wear to TNNA?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-1149780711985261142006-06-08T11:31:00.000-04:002006-06-08T11:31:00.000-04:00TNNA is in Indy??

You see, I don't like transportation in general.

I have to keep visualizing all the planes that fly every day. So many airports, so many flights, nearly all of them uneventful.
