Yesterday we went into Columbus Circle to see The Handmade nation Premiere, it was great! Cant wait for it to come out onto DVD, I think all of you will enjoy it. After seeing it, I felt like going home and making tons of stuff, it was that inspiring. I really love to see that sneak peek into other creative people's lives, to see where they create, what they create, I love all of that information and that's exactly how this film was composed.
It also really went into why DIY is important, all the different aspects, the ma and pa shops against the big bad Wal-mart. How handmade items are made with more care and love, more perfection, which is so true. Its really worth it to pay that extra dollar or two or even 50Ty and get a quality product and also know where its coming from.
The whole Handmade Nation crew really put together an interesting documentary, complete with some lovely music.
The only problem I had, was this women in front of me. Her hair was huge, like frizzy flaring out huge, so I had a problem seeing over it, oh about 90% of the time. It seemed that every time I moved right to get a good view, she leaned right. Or if i moved left she moved left. By the end of the film I wanted to tug at her hair or something, I was getting so frustrated!!!
On the way out I was going to go up to the creators and introduce myself and say hello. So I was waiting on the line and all of a sudden these two big guys just cut right in front of me, well I was not in the mood for a brawl(Will my boyfriend was ready to pounce) Well I gave up and left, trying to keep the peace and we moved onto The Container store.
Yes the Container Store, we are collectors and I needed some new display cases for my newest stuff I got at the Comic Book Convention. I also picked up a little surprise for my sister:)

After the container store we stopped in and had fish and chips at an Irish pub, well I had something other then Fish and chips, Will is the fish and chip pro.
We made a stop in Toy Tokyo, that was just like toy overload, but I walked away with a few things.
I absolutely love the East Village, its has more smaller shops, interesting places, good bars, its just more my fit. I love St. Marks, it reminds me of The Haight down in San Fran. Don't get me wrong, I love the west village and Soho, especially down on Spring Street, but alot of those places are big bucks. I think its the architecture I adore the most down in Soho, the old Cast Iron buildings that still remain, good stuff.
Check out this church with a Neon Cross?!!?!?!!!
Today we went and saw Coraline, I loved it:) The only problem we find is that those darn 3-D glasses is that they tend to make you sleepy. I guess because everything is so dimmer and your eyes get tired, I don't know. Other then the extra 4.50 3-D glass fee, the extremely noisy people to the right of us, and the slight falling asleep, I thought it was just an awesome movie!!!
Oh and I came across the oddest candy, they look like vampire dentures and their gummies, I just had to buy some even though I didnt like the way they tasted.
There is my weekend re-cap for now. I have things to do, places to go, people to meet....................................well not really!
Oh its that time again to share a secret celeb crush. SurvivorMan:) lol
