PABadger - do you do a lot of travel between Seattle and San Jose? I'm doing a lot of travelling between Hayward and Seattle. Let me know....

Knot-
Thanksgiving was actually my first visit to Seattle. My best friend and her husband moved up there over the summer for post docs. I am going up again in March though, me, one of my other friends from SF, and a friend of ours from WI are going up for a girls weekend with our friend in Seattle. One of the things I am going to request we do while I am there is go back to Second Ascent....I didn't get a lot of time there last time as they were closing :-( I want to dig thorugh the second hand stuff again!
I really liked Seattle though, and would love to go more often, unfortunatley I am trying to finish a PhD this year, so that eats into the travel time :-)
We should have a TE get together next time you are down in the Bay Area.

I'm coming down in March, the weekend before the Cinderella. I love Second Ascent! Make sure you get to the Kavu outlet down the block, too!

What about wool tights for guys? My husband wants a pair. Has anybody run across any good deals on them, or sites with closeouts?

The men's tights at Ibex are still $130, and the 3/4 length knickers are still $120.
Keep an eye on Altrec, they have some good deals now and then.

Oh, I've just abused my visa at REI on some yummy wool. I got 2 pair of smartwool ski socks (I won't tell them I'm not using them for skiing if you won't). I also got this sweater: Merino! in black.
Now I have to wait til the 20th for delivery.
