Arachnaphobia.

I did it!  Friends, I conquered my fears and communed with a giant, hairy, tarantula!  Aaaaaand as a bonus, the owner of the pet store we visited threw in a scorpion to boot… (thanks Willie the pet store guy.)  Please enjoy the video… I think it speaks for itself!

My spider friend and I...

The bonus scorpion...

A special thanks to Willie at Jules Pet Shop for all his help and patience, and to my friend Kyle for the moral support and video taking!  Also, because I haven't done my 'learn how to edit video' week yet,  I'll post the rest of the video we shot today and link it here.
