The Blackberry Popup this past weekend was such a rad reminder of why I'm happy to be back home in North Carolina. Liza transformed her home into a one-time venue for music, food, and goods made by hand-- there was a keg of kombucha, exploding tomatoes, tons of delicious pie, and a passel of winsome children and hounds. I'm so happy about the way that creative people around here collaborate, rep each other's work, and enjoy each other's company. It's a way of doing business and art that makes right livelihood feel within reach, and that's one of things I want most for myself and for my hometown.
