detroit is cooler than new york
- wow, this is definitely going to take more than an hour.
- well then, i guess we’ll just have to keep feeding the meter.
and just like that, the DUCF began with the full force of an overactive gorilla driving some beat up pick-up truck across the barren wasteland of non-believers, or something.
the quote above was something i overheard while sitting poised at the .waitinglinetheory. sponsor table maybe only fifteen minutes after the doors opened to the first annual Detroit Urban Craft Fair at the Majestic Theater this past Saturday. Many folks, craftier and cleverer than i, will have posts, praises, pics and thanks-yous all over the internets these next few days speaking in surreal terms and appreciative phrases about how wonderful and successful the DUCF turned out to be. not that any of us were surprised that it would be great, but im pretty sure no one had expected it to be so so SO perfect in every way.
here’s another bit of eavesdropping:
i’m, like, overwhelmed. i think we have to go around once, and then come back through again.
lets not beat a dead horse here, but id like to reiterate the fact that all of us at .WLT. were so pleased all day long, and continue to be in awe of the many wonderful people attending, helping out, meeting new friends, etc that this was a day we dont plan to forget … even when the second annual DUCF totally fucking tops it next year :)
and so here is my attempt at giving a huge, gi-normous thank you to the wonderful women of Handmade Detroit who made it such a glorious day and are always able to put such warmness in our hearts just by doing what they love to do - ya’ll are the bestest of the best, and we hope you know it by now
(oh, and the title of this post was stolen from a collage piece by my new buddy, Creve … i hope he doesn’t mind)
. . .
and now for today’s appropriate stolen quote:
The revolution will not be apologized for.
