Well, I'm getting back in to the swing of the blog-e-ness. Hope you are digging where you are at too. <br />
I just back from Interbike! Whew! It is really really (dare I) really big. I had lunch at the Cliff Bar booth (thank you and yumm). New flavors and other yummy stuff. Everything else is a hazy shiny blur. Except! SockGuy and Nutcase. They both had great booths and fun new stuff. I love the new Nutcase bike bells! Ding Ding! SockGuy I just love you. I can't wait until I can have ALLONEWORD socks... then i will know that I made it to the big time.<br />
See you around town! I'll update the show info and other stuff to. :) soon.<br />
Cheers,<br />

So, I got this order from Jordi in Barcelona. I asked where they found out about little old me. And he sent me a link to this amazingly cool blog.<br />

<br />
Here is what Jordi said about it "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">in february 2011 you can find one post talking about your caps. have a look there. It's in Catalan language, just explaining your web site and your caps.</span><br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">very useful"</span></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Of course I know how to read Catalan perfectly. I checked it out.

I have new studio space at <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/bridgehead-studio-alameda">Bridgehead Studio</a> right here in Alameda. I'm pretty tired from moving in, but very happy to have such a great place to create. My studio is not quite set up yet. As soon as it is pictures to follow.<br />
<br />
At Bridgehead there are monthly events: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Estuary-Art-Attack/79128038802?ref=ts">The-Estuary-Art-Attack</a> and open studio events too. I can't wait to attend. Just the small amount of art I have seen in the hallways is FAB!<br />
<br />
Well, I'll have a party to warm up the place. I'll send you an invite soon... See you at my place.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

This is so exciting. One of my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/73672865/mister-mc-spotty-gray-black-and-white">alloneword caps</a> is on the gal who writes one of the best bike blogs around. Her blog is called <a href="http://changeyourliferideabike.blogspot.com/">change your life ride a bike</a>. I feel so happy about this. I got to meet her at the <a href="http://sfbikeparty.wordpress.com/">San Francisco Bike Party</a> on friday. Which was wonderful. I'm not very comfortable riding in traffic nor with other riders. I had a great time anyway. Next time will be even better.<br />
Cheers,<br />

<br />
Here is my new website <a href="http://www.allonewordshop.com/">allonewordshop</a> Stop by and check it out! It is still in the building stages -- please tell me what you think. I'll have current shows, new items, listings of great places to find nifty fabric, and much much more.<br />
<br />
My bad for the long lag time between posts. It seems that I am not so much of a Blogger. I will add postings and keep you up to date on my events and shows. The new website <a href="http://www.allonewordshop.com/">allonewordshop</a> will be the main hub of Mary information.<br />
<br />
Thank you all so very much for following my blog, it means so much to me.<br />
<br />
Here are two blogs I follow. (so very good both of them)<br />
<br />
First:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.monkeyandseal.blogspot.com/">monkey and seal</a><br />
<br />
Give them a look see. It is written by two local San Francisco artists. <br />
<br />
Second:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://theenchantedsquare.blogspot.com/">The Enchanted Square</a><br />
<br />
Give her a look see. She lives right here in the East Bay.<br />
<br />
Both blogs are wonderful. <a href="http://www.monkeyandseal.blogspot.com/">monkey and seal</a> have great insight in how to live as an artist. <a href="http://theenchantedsquare.blogspot.com/">The Enchanted Square</a> shows how to make everyday, everything art.

Well, I have tried the non - car life. It just is not working for me. I LOVE riding in Alameda. I get scared when I ride to the local Bart station. Sad but true. <br />
<br />
So If ya know anyone who has a cheep good car for sale ... I'm right over here.<br />
<br />
It is really beautiful outside today. I'm going for a bike ride in my wonderful little town.<br />
<br />
Peace out,<br />

Well, you may have guessed that I not the new years resolution kinda gal. My philosophy is that - you notice something is f@%ed-up then fix it (if you can - or just get the ball rolling). The other thing you may have noticed about me is that I'm so good with the daily blog entries. <br />
<br />
To get this blog rolling I am having a give away. The first person to email me at: alloneword.etsy@gmail.com gets this super cool Neil Gaiman <u>Two Plays for Voices</u>. It has two stories first one <u>Snow Glass Apples</u> stars Bebe Neuwirth and the second <u>Murder Mysteries</u> staring Brian Dennehy. I love these stories but alas no longer own a tape deck. <br />
<br />

It seems when I hear of peer pressure it is in reference to teens and or young kids. However, I find that even as an adult I am swayed by peer pressure. I can see my Mom telling me to stand up and do what I want (she was like that). "What were you doing? Sitting there with your finger in your ear?" Mom would say.<br />
<br />
The problem is even though I am older, and I like to think a little more savvy, so are my peers. They are not even being mean, these folks are my friends. They want me to be happy no matter how much I don't like it.<br />
<br />
Good news: no new crapy tattoo like the last time this peer pressure thing happened (I was in my twenties then). Don't get me wrong. I love me a nice tattoo. I don't have a nice tattoo. My tattoo is a La drunk guy and flash. Sad thing is my friend that I went to the tattoo place with was peer pressured my me. Yes, that is the insidious thing about this very problem. You can do it to others without knowing or even trying to.<br />
<br />
What did I do? I got my hair dyed brown. Not a big deal. I know. However, I liked the color my hair was before: a pretty soft darkish blondish brownish. I spent 100 bucks (I can ill afford to spend) to change one of the aspects of my appearance that I LIKE. Man. and darn. And I want my 100 bucks back. And I would like a spine, ninny that I am.<br />

PS: Just a little note to the men folk out there. When a woman (any woman - friend, lover, wife, sister, Mom, stranger on the street) asks you what you think of the new hair cut and color. Do not say that it "<i>looks good from a distance."</i> Yes boys and girls he said <i>"looks good from a distance."</i> Close friend or not I like you a little less now (not really but - ouch). The worse part is that the hair dresser said the very same thing. "<i>No! he didn't"</i> (you would say if you were here). Oh yes, yes the hair dresser did.<br />

I was watching <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_Science_Theater_3000:_The_Movie">Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie</a> today. Suddenly, I remembered that when I was newly divorced I would look at movie credits for a new last name (as I no longer wanted my ex's last name and no longer felt like a maiden). You know try on a few new names to hear how it sounds. Sometimes, I would try out famous author names, or the parents of authors I like. My favorite is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Shelley">Mary Shelley</a>'s mothers last name: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Wollstonecraft">Wollstonecraft</a>.<br />
Peace Out,<br />
Mary<br />
PS I'm looking for a home for my friends cat named Toby. He is healthy and 16 years old. See, my friend had a baby boy who is allergic to cats. (drat) If you are interested in having the coolest cat in town live with you leave a comment on this blog. I'll get back to you directly.<br />

</div><div>In the first booth they supplied the white curtains and metal poles. I thought that was normal and would always be curtains at all expos. But, no they are not. This is why it is good to read the entire rental agreement. The poles and curtains are an "extra". My plan of hanging my caps al a Phila would not work. After a few minutes I got an another table, and put them on end, covered them up with fabric. Then the booth was looking good. It looked like I knew what I was doing. Nice.</div><div><br />
</div><div>A few folks remembered my caps from the Handmade Ho-down from last year, and the Dia Di Los Muertos from last month. So very happy.</div><div><br />

They gave out free -- YES -- free coffee all day on Sunday at the Phila Bike Expo! Saved me they did. Not only was it free but it was <i>wonderful </i>tasty coffee<i>. </i>It was pretty hard getting going for the second day of the Expo. But Ultimo Coffee did the trick. Thank you guys very very very much.</div><div><br />
</div><div>A big shout out to all my new pals in Philadelphia. I am so glad that I got to know you. I hope to see you soon, or at least next year. Because, I am coming back to Philadelphia as soon as I can. Maybe you will be at the <a href="http://sfbikeexpo.com/">San Francisco Bike Expo</a>. If so I will see you next weekend at the Cow Palace.</div><div><br />
</div><div>I broke even or pretty darn close to it at this show. Never thought it would go that well. I was just glad to come and get my name and a few of my caps out there. Well, that is done and a whole lot more. </div><div><br />
</div><div>I'm missing Luna and my home. See you soon,</div><div><br />

<br />
Just a quick update. Everything went really well at the show. I talked to so many very kind and wonderful folks - many of whom bought caps (not required but very nice). <br />
<br />
I got to get going and do it all over again. :) and I am looking forward to it.<br />
<br />
See you on the flip side.<br />
Mary<br />

Got to talking with these cool guys (Matt and Patrick) from <a href="http://www.libertysportsmag.com/?p=2556">liberty sports magazine</a>. Found out that they did a write up about my caps (and me). Patrick even took some pictures of the caps and my insanely cool booth. I think he is going to write about my caps again. Give them a look see. As I said pretty darn cool guys, and a great zine.<br />
<br />
Well, peace out all. I gotta wake up before 8 tomorrow. Harsh man harsh. :) (wake up and have MaryBeth make breakfast for me just the way I want it! Nice.... I tell you this place is so good.) Then a 4 block walk to the Expo. After that look at beautiful handmade bikes... talk to cool folks. Yeah. It is harsh. :)<br />
<br />
Miss you,<br />

I am loving Phila. It is just a great town. I went to Independence Hall today, it was even better then I had hoped. Wonderful, wonderful town. It is past 3 am here and I am pretty tired so I'm going to keep this short.<br />
<br />
<br />
However, I want to give you a link to the place I am staying in Phila: <a href="http://www.lippincotthouse.com/">Lippincott House</a>. The folks who run this bed and breakfast are so kind and attentive. It feels like home.<br />
<br />
I set up my booth at the Expo tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday are show days. I feel really good about this. I have the tools and materials I need. Now, just off to the races (as my Mom would say). Or as I say: Let's get her done.<br />
<br />

Please wish me good luck. I miss you already.<br />
