Got the loom!!

I’ve been watching the loom on Craigslist, and the price dropped from $1500 to $1100. So I emailed the seller to ask if she’d be willing to take $1000 for it…she is! So I will pick it up sometime this week, and then I’ll have a practically-new Baby Wolf plus bobbins, shuttles, bobbin winder, etc. at about half the retail price.

Sent an email off to the director of AIDS Lifecycle and got back a convivial but noncommittal response…he’s asked their media team about sharing their contact list, and will ask the CEO of the Gay & Lesbian Center if she’s willing to be interviewed for the book. That’s all I could really ask for. Even if they come back and say “We want to see the book first,” that’s fine–I just need something that isn’t a solid “no”. Hopefully, I’ll get a “maybe”.

But if I don’t, no matter–I’ll just keep plugging away. I won’t be stopped on this thing, no matter what.

But a loom! Now I have to (re)learn to weave.
