			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Got up and showered and ate leftover pancakes (yum) and drank some coffee and got in the car to go to the <a title="Charm City Craft Mafia" href="http://www.charmcitycraftmafia.com/Welcome.html">Charm City Craft Mafia</a> Holiday Heap at <a title="2640 St. Paul Street" href="http://www.redemmas.org/2640/">2640</a>, which by the way is the coolest building in Baltimore, hands down. Place was jammed with awesome stuff and so many people. Olivia was a little kirked out by the crowd. Can&#8217;t blame her.</p>
<p>I picked up a print from <a title="Tugboat Printshop makes beautiful prints." href="http://www.tugboatprintshop.com/">Tugboat Printshop</a> and chatted with Paul Roden (I think) about the paper they use, the inks they prefer and their process. Here&#8217;s a pic of the print I got:</p>
<div id="attachment_1132" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 560px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1132" title="explorerCapsule3000" src="http://rationalfrank.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/explorerCapsule3000.jpg" alt="picture pulled from http://www.tugboatprintshop.com/" width="550" height="409" /><p class="wp-caption-text">picture pulled from http://www.tugboatprintshop.com/</p></div>
<p>I also picked up a comic book about screenprinting from <a title="Red Emmas shares best book store in Baltimore status wiht Atomic Books." href="http://www.redemmas.org/">Red Emmas</a>:</p>
<div id="attachment_1133" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1133" title="screenprinting" src="http://rationalfrank.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/screenprinting.jpg" alt="Do It Yourself Screenprinting by John Isaacson" width="400" height="485" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Do It Yourself Screenprinting by John Isaacson</p></div>
<p>Then, we had an awesome lunch at <a title="paper moon yum yum" href="http://www.papermoondiner24.com/">Paper Moon Diner</a>. You want to make the cheese steak yummier? throw it on white bread and then grill that in butter. Good thinking, Paper Moon!</p>
<p>Came home made some snow-droids with the girls out front. Then decided to try out the woodcut process myself:</p>
<div id="attachment_1135" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 560px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1135" title="rocketblock" src="http://rationalfrank.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/rocketblock.jpg" alt="I used a bigass piece of wood I've had forever and freehanded the whole thing." width="550" height="343" /><p class="wp-caption-text">I used a bigass piece of wood I&#39;ve had forever and freehanded the whole thing.</p></div>
<div id="attachment_1136" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 560px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1136" title="rocketprint" src="http://rationalfrank.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/rocketprint.jpg" alt="Then I made a test print, but the paper was real thick, so it turned out meh..." width="550" height="320" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Then I made a test print, but the paper was real thick, so it turned out meh...</p></div>
<p>Here is a picture of my &#8220;studio&#8221; in the basement:</p>
<div id="attachment_1137" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 560px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1137" title="studio" src="http://rationalfrank.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/studio.jpg" alt="I'm super organized." width="550" height="413" /><p class="wp-caption-text">I&#39;m super organized.</p></div>
<p>Oh, and here&#8217;s a Japanese stab binding I did last night:</p>
<div id="attachment_1138" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 560px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1138" title="skullbook" src="http://rationalfrank.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/skullbook.jpg" alt="Silver is the new black." width="550" height="392" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Silver is the new black.</p></div>
<p>Ten miles on the bike, leftover curried chickpeas and now I&#8217;m ready to finish <a title="Coraline is cool" href="http://coraline.com/">Coraline</a>. What did you do today?</p>
