Ok, so I don’t live remotely close to any of those (Chicago is 7 hour drive, Austin 10! lol) but I’ve BEEN to many of them and I say RVA should go to LA & SAN FRAN! They’d LOVVVVVVVVE you outthere!!!
oh i absolutely vote brooklyn. brooklyn brooklyn brooklyn! you can stay with me if you want!! and katiecupcake can too and that would be fun!
and rachel should come too!!
LA!!! π Whats better than going to the West Coast during summer.
I’ll tell you… nothing π
I kid. But LA isn’t too far and we go to California a lot, so I might actually be able to attend and that would be amazing. Especially if I could drag some other Arizona friends along! Awesomeness all around.
i definitely have to vote chicago…my best friend and i have already asked for the dates off of work so that we can head down there…although if you don’t go to chicago it gives us another excuse for a road trip to just come to yr shop!!
Definately Awesome Austin. Such a groovy town. You must try Home Slice Pizza on South Congress, very retro vintage, and the pizza is fab. http://www.homeslicepizza.com I was there in November, and want to go back in May. MAYbe I’ll see you!
What ever the town or the date I will have to work around it. I have talked my dh into taking a little motorcycle ride to RVA. Ok not so little 9 hours. I can’t wait—just not sure when ( ido know it will be spring or summer) What month would you recommend to visit MO and you/your store? maybe even fall-? I just can;t wait whatever it will be.
and why can;t there be a renegade in columbus, ohio?
Los Angeles!!!!! It’s so beautiful here! you can visit disneyland and the beach and drive the beautiful coast. we would be oh-so-happy to have you here π
I’m going to sell my stuff at the LA one and maybe the San Fran one too. I’ve driven the 6 hours to the San Fran one twice now. IT’s so cool and totally worth it.
Either San Francisco, because the city just seems to go with your personality, or Brooklyn, because it is full of inspiration! However, if I were in your shoes I would probably pick LA to go see your sister and spend some major time sight-seeing!
I say wherever you haven’t been:) that’s the most exciting:)maybe you will also find some new vintage stuff:) cali’s cute boutiques with vintage stuff, so does Utah invade you ever want to visit us out here:)
Holy tons of comments already (no surprise though). If I were to recommend things to you I’d have some unbiased and some biased.
Unbiased – Brooklyn and San Francisco provide great coverage of some major cities on both coasts giving you a better chance to sell more goods and spread the word about RVA to more people.
Biased – We are probably going to go up to the Brooklyn event, and if we can persuade RVA to come to San Francisco, we may have some awesome lodging options (we’ll e-mail you later about it). Lastly, Chicago (pre-winter) would be awesome as I’ve been wanting to take Katie to Chicago for a while now and it would be a great excuse for us to do it π
LOS ANGELES! That way, I can take you and Mr. Larson to Disneyland! And the best little knitting studio by Farmer’s Market! And then I’ll take you to the best neighborhood sushi place in the entire world! Say YES!
it has to be AUSTIN!!!! i lived in Texas for 17 years, sandwiched in between being raised about an hr. north of Philly and returning here 4 yrs. ago…i lived in the Houston area but have to say there is no vibe ANYWHERE like there is in AUSTIN!!!! it would be LOADS of fun!
SAN FRANCISCO!!!!!!! i went to last year’s december renegade, and they sorely lacked the adorableness that RVA would bring. please, please, please, please, come to the city by the bay!
You should work your magic and tell Renegade to expand to the great Pacific Northwest and set up a fair in Seattle. I’d be there in a heartbeat. I felt awfully lucky to coincidentally be in Chicago for last year’s Renegade, but the chances of that happening again are rather slim.
I vote July 31st at Fort Mason! Then I can have a chance to go!! I should be back from Germany by then, and home is just a few hours away from San Fran. π
hi elsie. I’m a swedish blogreader and I just wanted to say that I was in Chicago on the last Renegade and looked at your stuff. Your boyfriend was there but I saw you later on. Just wanted you to know you have blogreaders in Sweden too! love, matilda
Brooklyn, I loved the venue of the fair. Its in a great park that is near to a really happening area. Plus then you have NYC and all of that exploring to do!!!
San Francisco, I’ll give you city tours, out of city tours, anything you want…just come to S.F. It’s a beautiful city, and we need some of your fresh face out here!!!
I love Patterns too…. Scrapbook paper has so many great uses. I am getting ready to redo my craft room… It’s unorganized. ARGh…. I love your blog too…. KEEP ON KEEPIN ON

AUSTIN!!!
I’m going to sell my stuff at the LA one and maybe the San Fran one too. I’ve driven the 6 hours to the San Fran one twice now. IT’s so cool and totally worth it.
LA!!! Or even San Francisco!!! i luv it there, i went there like two years ago….
Either San Francisco, because the city just seems to go with your personality, or Brooklyn, because it is full of inspiration! However, if I were in your shoes I would probably pick LA to go see your sister and spend some major time sight-seeing!
i am planning a girls weekend to Chicago that weekend. I wish Ohio was just a little bit more awesome so we could have a place on that list!
San Francisco!
LA or San Francisco, please! π
