OK - it is now day 5 but I finally have internet connection. Here are my notes.
Convergence is the bi-annual conference of the Handweavers Guild of America.
Plane left Detroit 50 minutes late but managed to make my connecting flight in Minneapolis. After arriving at the hotel and picking up my conference packet I wandered around the downtown area. From the convention center it looked like an old train station in the distance and that is what it turned out to be. It is now the transportation hub with Amtrak, Greyhound and the local bus system.
From there I walked down Central, which is part of the old Route 66 route. Had a quick afternoon meal and found the hat store that Frank and I bought Kris and Chris cowboy hats when they were little.
After a short swim, went down to the hotel bar for a light meal. While I was deciding where to sit, another lady asked me what I thought of the menu. I indicated that the bar had a light menu and when she said that sounded good, I invited her to join me for dinner.
She was enjoyable company. She owns the Folkways Pattern company and had previously owned a local wool shop and worked at Fiber Arts before her current job.
