I was in Earth Fare with Wanton Boi when it happened. Some honey fell off the shelf and this was in Greensboro NC. All of a sudden everyone is blowing up my phone to make sure I'm ok. It seems cell service was out for a little bit and no one could reach me.

How odd having an earthquake here. It's seems the sky is falling

I tell myself I will go to Hillsville every year but at the last minute I think about the traffic and crowds. I change my mind.

I thought about going to Hillsville, but I have a swap meet on Saturday and Sundays are not a favorite travel day... Then without staying over night, 4 hours out and them 4 hours back...not on my book for this year.

I am kinda stoked! I may say differently after the one day we have planned!

I will say that hotel room prices are OUTRAGEOUS. The only reason I agreed to pay $180 A NIGHT at a HOLIDAY INN is because its a special thing for Jess and I to run away from home for a night, especially when there might be Jade-ite or any of the other treasures we collect. I am not fond of the drive to Hillsville over Lover's Leap and I really, really didn't want to do that curvyass mountain cliff hanging drive with 500K other folks on the road.

I think next year we might have to look at RVing it. Depending on our experience this year, next year might not be an option! :seeingstars:

I hope everyone in VA is okay and didn't get too much damage from the Quake. I'm in CO where we had about a dozen smaller ones over the past 24 hours and one I felt a bit last night was a 5.3.

OMGoodness! That is outrageous! I had thought of pulling my rv camper, but I was booked for this flea market and that put that out of my calender. I will keep that in mind for next year.

VIRGINIAN here!
 
Born and raised in the Capital of the Confederacy (Richmond). Currently living in NM, but moving home to the "Sweet Virginia Breeze" (check out Robin Thompson) within the next few months. WOO HOO! I love Virginia!

Jess 08-23-2011 08:28 PM

Robin's song is a classic, but probably my favorite is by an old friend who left us this year. You may remember his show on NPR, The Out of the Blue Revue, Purebred American Mongrel music!

Ramble on Page!!!

Hey OS, it has been a long time! I moved out of Northern VA a year ago in May so SC It got way to expensive for me :( But I hope to come back since Northern VA is my home and I lived there all my life

I am an hour and half I think from Hillsville. If I went I would just drive. If you have an RV you're welcome to hook it up at the farm and stay a few nights. I have an RV outlet and a hose to hook to your water, just no sewer.

Wow, that is very generous of you, Thank you! I am sure there is a dumping station somewhere. It may have to be in my plans for next year!

Here in Alexandria, the rain is coming down and wind gusts but I still have electricity! How is everyone doing?

Babyangeleyez 10-01-2011 07:41 PM

Hello to all the Virginia peoples! I'm in Culpeper.

lyric 10-01-2011 07:54 PM

Hello, Virginia!
Toxic and I are in Alexandria. I'd like to move to an area that's a little less expensive and a bit more rural (just can't take the country out of the girl, I guess) but we're still here for the time being. :)

Hey there Lyric! I know where Alexandria is. I hate going to N.VA. I'm probably 1 1/2 hours from your area. I live out in the country. Well, I guess you can still call it that.

Hi there Lyric! I am in Alexandria too. I think we may have met years ago....maybe at the Phase or maybe Dyke Night at the Eagle.

Either way, I sure would like to get together with local folks in the area once a month or every other month.

What do you think?
