It's just before 6am, and I'm about to dash off to the airport, to go to Madison. (Who am I kidding. My ability to dash is long gone. I'm so tired that watching me navigate the world should be a sitcom.) I'll post about WEBS, which was awesome, as soon as I manage to find the time to process the billions of photos generated by an event with a thousand knitters at it. (There are a few.) That's not why I'm posting though.
I'm posting (before 6am.) because it is Denny's Birthday, and she's worth the loss of coffee drinking time.
Happy Birthday Den!

Ms. Harlot - Happy and dafe travels today :^)
Posted by: Karen at April 28, 2008 6:07 AMHappy Birthday to Denny and safe travels to you.

Posted by: stephanie at April 28, 2008 6:31 AMThe event at WEBS was fantastic! Had a great time!

Posted by: Lisa H. at April 28, 2008 6:38 AMGood morning from all the early birds! Happy birthday to Denny and wishes for safe and uneventful travels to you, Ms. Harlot.
Posted by: Liz at April 28, 2008 6:39 AMYesterday was terrific! Thanks for coming back to Mass! It was great to see you again (and anyone who hasn't gone and is on the fence - Steph really rocks it this year!)
Posted by: Amy O' at April 28, 2008 6:39 AMsafe journey, and happy birthday to Denny, and to you: coffee!!
Posted by: Ursula at April 28, 2008 6:40 AMYou were terrific yesterday, Steph! I hope you get some much deserved rest; all us fans are wearing you to a thin frazzel. Safe travel!
Posted by: Connie at April 28, 2008 6:47 AMOnce again you were within driving distance on a night when I had to work. Ah well, I suppose there's always RHinebeck. Have fun in Madison. I always liked that town.
Posted by: Mel at April 28, 2008 6:47 AMGood Morning to all! Happy Birthday to Denny! And may all airport coffee suddenly become elixir from the gods!!
Posted by: Queen Knitsalot at April 28, 2008 6:59 AMHappy birthday Denny!
Hope you feel more awake, soon, Stephanie. Can't believe you're up at that obscene hour (although, frankly, I've seen a lot more of that sort of time of late with my little one).
Posted by: Allie at April 28, 2008 7:01 AMYou were amazing at WEBS! The last two times you were in the Boston area I was out of the state. I was hell-bent to make it this time and left the weekend houseguests in the custody of my husband. I don't think they quite "got" who I had to go see and why. What do you want from non-knitters? Anyway, I finally made it to a Harlot event.
I can die now.
No, wait, there's another book tour in the future...Never mind.
Posted by: Marlene at April 28, 2008 7:03 AMThe Webs event was amazing! It was great to meet you! Safe travels today!
Posted by: Kris at April 28, 2008 7:11 AMForge on, Fair Harlot, forge on. We shall remain at your back, supporting and praising.

Posted by: Debbie at April 28, 2008 7:18 AMAssuming you're talking about Madison, Wisconsin, I think you'll enjoy it there. The people are funny, and UW Madison is the home of The Onion: http://www.theonion.com/content/index which is usually a hilarious alternative to the real news (and often more insightful!). Oh yeah, and Wisconsin is the Beer and Brat capital.
Posted by: Judy in MN at April 28, 2008 7:25 AMHAPPY BIRTHDAY DENNY!
(and I haven't had coffee yet either. It's brewing. In other words, I agree.)
Posted by: Abby Franquemont at April 28, 2008 7:28 AMHappy Birthday Denny,
and chere, chere Harlot - I honestly think you should become a sitcom. It would be awesome.
Posted by: yberry at April 28, 2008 7:37 AMHappy Birthday, Denny!

Posted by: turtlegirl76 at April 28, 2008 7:41 AMI'll see you in Madison tonight!!!! Can't wait.
Posted by: Jami in WI at April 28, 2008 7:45 AMI know that you are tired, but your sucess is awesome. I guess you could say you are a victim of your sucess. Thank you for all you have done for knitters.

Safe travels, and thank you for a wonderful time at WEBS! You were awesome as always, and I hope you like the beer I brought you :)
Posted by: Knitter Kitter at April 28, 2008 7:50 AMHappy Birthday Denny! I would like to challenge you to keep track to see if you receive birthday wishes from all 50 states as well as all 7 continents. Should be doable. You must be a very special person for you to get a wake up blog!

Good Tidings from Connecticut.
WEBS was awesome. Even better than last year!
I finally got to meet the Harlot, and I met some other great people, too!
Travel safely and get some rest, you did not let the tribulations of the last few days show at all.

And see you tonight Steph. Hope you packed heavy, it's going to be sweater weather.
Time to load the kids and make the *first* trip to Madison to get my wristband.
Posted by: Beth in WI at April 28, 2008 9:41 AMHope you got to Madison before the snow! Yes, snow at least that's what we got this morning on the way to work in Appleton, which is only about 2.5 hours north. SNOW on April 28th!!!Have fun while you visit our fair state wish I could come and see you, but daughter's band concert is tonight (last middle school one:()
Posted by: connie at April 28, 2008 9:43 AMHappy Birthday Denny! Thank you for another great visit. The Webs people are amazing and so were all the friendly knitters. If knitters ruled the world we would have peace!

Posted by: Michele at April 28, 2008 9:47 AMHappy Birthday to Denny! And happy Monday to you! It was great to see you at WEBS--wonderful talk, and as always I am awed to see your graciousness in engaging personally with each of hundreds of knitters. I didn't get a chance to thank you for your sacrifice (and Joe's and the girls') in giving up so much family time to come on the road to inspire and entertain us. BTW, I stood in line with Mr. "It's just one scarf", and he really is a sketch--very funny. Travel mercies to you.
Posted by: Mitty at April 28, 2008 9:53 AMHappy Birthday to Denny, from Vermont!
WEBS was awesome in so many ways... good company, excellent talk, fantastic yarn, delicious food. I've been telling everyone who will (or for that matter, even people who won't) that knitting is making me smarter and a better person. Speaking of being a better person, I can't wait to get started on that gorgeous skein of hand-dyed silk I bought yesterday... mmmmm.
Posted by: Kait in VT at April 28, 2008 9:53 AMHappy Birthday to Denny! She seems like such a vibrant, fun person in every description and photo I've seen of her. I wish her all the best on her birthday. :)

Posted by: Diane at April 28, 2008 10:02 AMHB Denny!
My girls, nicole and emily, loved meeting you and think you are way cooler than Hannah Montana! They knit their bandanas for the rest of the day, with their own, self-picked, newly acquired Webs stash. i had to take the needles away in bed and keep it home from school! Thanks for influencing and encouraging 2 real knitters, they are not dabblers any more!!!
Here's to cashmere, cupcakes, and The Work of My People -- hope the day is filled with all of the above! Wish I were there.

Posted by: Mitzi at April 28, 2008 11:07 AMWishing Denny a knitterly birthday. I will be sure and have some knitting time in your honor!
Sorry to have missed you at WEBS; between yourself and all the yarnish enticements at the store it must have been the creative event of the century. Just thinking of all that fibery creativity makes me shaky - why worry about energy shortage when the knitters are on the loose!
Posted by: Karen at April 28, 2008 11:09 AMHappy Birthday, Denny!
I had a great time at your visit to Webs and the Calvin Theatre yesterday. Thanks for working yourself so hard, but - my goodness - I have no idea how you do it (I would totally watch that sitcom, by the way). Perhaps all your knitting has taught you extreme persistence... or maybe you're just operating in a near-constant theta state :)
Posted by: Octopus Knits at April 28, 2008 11:10 AMHappy Once-A-Year Day, Denny!! May it be everything you dreamed of.
Posted by: Lene at April 28, 2008 11:16 AMWe share a birthday - have a great one, Denny! =)

Posted by: Mander at April 28, 2008 11:20 AMRest up, you'll want to be fresh for the Maker Faire on Saturday. The sock of doom and I are driving 100+ miles to see you! If you want to play hookey you can escape back to Monterey and hide out and sleep for awhile...no rain here, promise.

Enjoy Madison! I grew up there and love it. I wish you weren't coming on a work day though! It's too far for me to drive on a weekday. Maybe next time..
If the weather is gross (which it probably will be since it's snowing in Green Bay) and you have time, go check out the Conservatory at Olbrich Gardens. It's lovely and relaxing and not very far from the event.

Posted by: Carolyn at April 28, 2008 12:02 PMHappy birthday Denny!
Bless you Stephanie, there's got to be a way to schedule your tour regionally. Portland, Chicago, Mass., Madison, etc. Holy cow! You better be collecting those miles for a really great trip with your family.
Posted by: Kim at April 28, 2008 12:18 PMHappy Birthday, Denny! Hope you have a great one, with yarn indulgence and cake, beer, or all three. Want some rain from Oregon? ::runs::

Posted by: Shel at April 28, 2008 12:58 PMHappy birthday to the illustrious Denny, who really needs to get a blog, so we can all bug her in (virtual) person.
Actually, one of these days, I'm going to come to Toronto and bug all of you in person. Denny seems like my kind of wacko fun person.
Oh, and a question I was too shy to ask at WEBS: Just how much raw fleece do you have in your basement? Please say it's more than 9 fleeces. I think I have 9. If you have more than 9, and I'm mistaken about having 9 and I really have 6, then I can get more this spring.
Doncha just love knitters' logic?

Posted by: Karen at April 28, 2008 1:31 PMHappy Birthday Denny!
You're starting to sound just a little frazzled, Stephanie. Pity there isn't some way for you to do your tour via private rail car like the politician's of the first half of the last century. At least then you could rest up while traveling and not have to keep packing and unpacking.
I wish you streamlined travel for the rest of your tour and look forward to listening to you in San Mateo. Unless I should have already bought a ticket and am now out of luck. I best go panic about that now.

Posted by: Marjorie at April 28, 2008 2:24 PMHappy Birthday Denny!!
Dude, you need a Harlot tracker like the Santa tracker they have on Google Earth. It should move just as fast and piss off anyone trying to see where you are right now.

Ms Harlot,
I will assume that the Madison to which you refer is in some other state than Indiana. Cause if you came here and I didn't know I would be really upset. But we will meet anyway, tomorrow in Carmel by the Corn. Me and the rest of the Odd Tuesday Group. That is Odd Tuesdays not odd group. Stop laughing.
Posted by: Anita at April 28, 2008 3:25 PMHappy Birthday Denny!!!! I hope you have the greatest day ever. I'm wearing my tiara in your honour.

Posted by: Kelly at April 28, 2008 3:47 PMCan't wait to see you tonight here in Mad Town!!
Posted by: Cindy at April 28, 2008 3:52 PMHappy Birthday Denny! Did you finish the 7 shawl project? I remember from June at Lettuce Knit. I'm the one form NY with the sheep stash.
Stephanie, never, never, never, I repeat, never , never, never go through O'Hare. I quit years ago after having my flight out canceled while I was flying in...due to....drizzle. I slept in the airport on one of the three "couches" without armrests that I could find in the whole terminal. I'm too old for that anymore.
Happy birthday, Denny!
Had a great time at the Calvin and WEBS- came home with lots of sock yarn... (And I should have said, I *credit* you for all the socks I'm knitting- not blame you :) I love the socks- even the second ones! Too conscious of the long, long line behind me to be eloquent. Hope your voice is recovering- you sounded a bit hoarse. Take care-
Posted by: RobinH at April 28, 2008 4:35 PMYou were great yesterday! I wish I would have had to to meet you. My husband is a big fan. He was the one that made you the red, white, and blue dishcloth.
Posted by: Mindy M at April 28, 2008 4:47 PMPLEASE travel safely! We are so looking forward to seeing you in Indianapolis on Tuesday!!!! The weather here is fine so far.....
Posted by: Dana at April 28, 2008 5:06 PMHi, Stephanie - I enjoyed your talk so much at WEBS. One comment I have gotten from non-knitters who see me knitting is one you didn't mention: "That looks so hard - I could never do that!" My response, thought of at 3:00 AM, would be: "Can you tie your shoes? If so, you can knit."
Happy Birthday Denny from the state of Illinois
Hang in there Stephanie and safe travels.
Posted by: Sharon at April 28, 2008 5:20 PMI'm so excited you'll be in Wisconsin, but I won't be able to see you today in Madison. Southern Wisconsin is supposed to get snow today. Do you bring it from Canada when you visit? My thermometer still says 45 degrees though, so I'll cross my fingers.
Posted by: Melinda at April 28, 2008 5:33 PMYou might consider changing management. I do not know the behind the scenes regarding Chicago, however, the appearance is that the yarn shop was not kept informed of your travel difficulties, and a fast so sorry on the website does not cut it. I find it apparently poor planning to have you in Chicago, IL on the 25th; Portland OR (4 hours away by plane) on the 26th; and flying into Madison WI (aprox. 100 miles north of Chicago) on the 28th.
Posted by: Valerie at April 28, 2008 6:01 PMStephanie, I wanted to let you know the 300 mile trip from PA was worth it. Both to visit WEBS (YARN HEAVEN!!!) and to hear you. You were just like I thought you would be. I think all of the commenters would just love to sit and have a beer with you and unwind. You are US!! My three kids (13 yr. old boy, 12 yr. old girl, and 9 yr. old boy) enjoyed you, too. Well, the boys were playing their PSP's, but I heard them giggling!! Hats off to you and your intensive tour schedule. YOU ROCK!
