As a former City Paper writer, a frequent Crafty Bastards juror, and an especial admirer of zombies, squids, and other iconographic staples of the Etsyverse, I am what you call a Big Fan of the Crafty Bastards fair. I love watching bboying and wouldn't mind one iota if it were a regular feature of every party I attended. Ben Claassen III is one of the District's most valuable resources and any year I can't see his stuff is a bad one. Plus there's all the craft!
Senior editor Ian Buckwalter and 'ist photographer Holly Le were among the hundreds (thousands!) who hit up the fair and they share with you some snaps that will make you sore you didn't come out if you didn't attend.

Okay, so Ben Claassen got a mention here. In return, we need killoggs heads for commenters. Seems like a fair trade.

Golly! That I did not expect. Sir, you are prince among men. Thanks!
c'mon, man, get on it and change out that icon!
Believe you me, I've been trying, but Moveable Type is being uncooperative.
I thought it might've been my usual incompetence, but I tried to change the avatar of one of the bugmenot profiles and that didn't work either.damn, that sucks. good luck.
It was time for a new handle anyways.
welcome then, kansas jack!
