Craft, Inc.

111 Minna has a good thing going. Everybody likes to have events there. Somehow, they're automatically cooler than a hotel ballroom or back room at a bar. I've had weeks with many things all at 111 minna - from an art opening (which seems applicable) to a Commonwealth Club mixer to a fundraiser for the Surfriders... you never know.

Next week's Minna shin dig on tuesday is the book launch party of Craft Inc. by Meg Mateo Ilasco - all about turning your crafty hobby into a business. Having done that myself recently, I encourage you to think long and hard before turning what you love to do for fun into your livelihood, but it is worth considering.

So go get your Minna fix if it's been a while and check out the book. They say there will be Chronicle Books give-aways and other swag, so why not?
