Reader photos, visits, and write-ups are my favorite thing here at Wilfair HQ, and when I get something wonderful from somebody -- you all saw the Ginny and Chris anniversary photos, right, where they take on a bit of Fair Finley and Gomery Overbove? -- it makes my week, 1000%.
Last week was extra twinkly because another reader paid me a visit at Wilshire Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue here in Los Angeles: Caitlin #2!
Now, about the #2: There's a lovely Caitlin who has been stopping by here for several months, and she introduced me to her pal Caitlin. A cavalcade of Caitlins! If I'd known that writing these books would bring not one but two Caitlins into my sphere, I would have done it years sooner.
But even before I came onto the scene, the Caitlins had been referring to themselves, quite cheekily, as Caitlin #1 and Caitlin #2. So I shall, too.
So, my date with Caitlin #2: She and I had a bite at Farmers Market and chatted about our many commonalities. We both have Minnesota connections -- any Minnesotans coming 'round here? -- and our California affections. She is a Southern California resident like myself. She also loves some of the very specific things I love, like "The Big Lebowski," which the two of us can go on about.
Then it was time for our Wilshire and Fairfax picture. My husband played photographer again -- I love when Chris cameos on the corner -- it is my intention that all my readers one day meet this magical human -- and that's where Caitlin and I decided on two things for our outfit: hair flowers AND neckties.
Excessive? Maybe, but what of it?
And then -- don't be jealous, just plan to join us next time -- we visited the famous Harry Potter shop down the street from The Wilfair Hotel's corner. Did we have fun browsing? Oh, we did. We discussed knitting projects -- hers, not mine, and now I want pictures for the blog -- as well as our various fan affections. Holler, "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and "Arrested Development"!
Thanks again, Caitlin #2, for hanging with me! Our SoCal shenanigans are only starting.
