December Event:
Pedal to the Metal Craft Fair
Sunday, December 7, 2003,
12 - 6 pm
at The Gladstone Hotel
It's kind of scary how amazingly successful Pedal to the Metal was. The vendors had some amazing stuff for
sale, the bands all rocked it hard, tons of people showed up, only a few people got kicked out, and all
of them for being babies, the Toronto church of craft now has a budget for workshops that doesn't come from the
change in Sister Good and Sister Evil's pockets, and it was lots of fun.
The most convincing sign of its success was that I overheard a couple of girls saying
to one another "I'm really surprised how many crafts there are here that are about sex!
I never thought crafts could be like that. I thought it was, like, grandma stuff!"

We're a small (and growing)
grassroots crafty collective rebelling against the culture of
mass production. Not only are the things we create our own, but in this
glossy, fabricated world, the simple act of creation is transcendent. I.e., we make things because
it makes us happy.
