What I learned at Camp Pluckyfluff in Atlanta

1. You are never too old for the fun of a spend the night party.

2. Let's face it, you were probably never at an age where you could spin until after midnight, stay up until probably 2 am talking, and still feel anything like rested when the alarm clock sounds at 7:15 am.

3. At some point, the coffee stops working.

4. Lexi Boeger is an awesome teacher. You must go take a class from her if you get a chance.

5. Legacy Alpaca Farm is an amazing place to take a class. You've got to take a class there. Terrill and Mike are wonderful folks, and did I mention the alpacas?

6. Have I mentioned that I was so busy spinning and visiting that I didn't even see the alpacas?

7. If you plan to take a 2 day spinning workshop, it might behoove you to sit and spin for a little while beforehand, especially if you haven't done any spinning since maybe August. Trust me, you are going to hurt otherwise. (Pass the ibuprofen.)

8. Just know that if you go to a workshop where you're going to get to use drumcarders different from the one you already have, you're going to want to buy another one.

9. Number 8 also applies to spinning wheels.

10. Fiber classes are addictive. Just know this. Plan for it. Budget for it. Win the lottery so you can have that new drumcarder and spinning wheel before your next class. After all, resistance is futile.
