I posted this on pinterest a couple of days ago… Okay, so it is quite possible that I could relate just about everything I like back to my first love (well… fourth love) – shoes. Now, if the Anancy! Anansi! Festival was a black tie gala – I’d have to wear the spider web inspired shoes… or something that I could afford that looked a lot like them since I SERIOUSLY doubt that I’ll ever own a pair of shoes with red bottoms… unless I get some paint and hook it up myself.

On June 9th, the original spider man, Brother Anansi, will be celebrated in 5 locations, and I am the host of the event in Washington, DC. I encourage you, your family, and your friends to come out to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Library at 901 G Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20001. It is metro accessible – Gallery Place Chinatown Metro.
