SKETCHBOOK TOUR 2007
Yeah, it was alot of fun. I mostly took pictures the whole time instead of sketching. What can I say, I am a picture whore. Sorry, for those of you who don't like to hear that, but it is true. Anyway. We made alot of stops and had fun. Reno was...umm...questionable. I have been there before for Car Shows and the city seems alot cooler, but when you go there and there is nothing going on, it can be a drag. I wish I would have saw the cast from Reno 911! There. That would have been cool. Oh, and watch out for the underwear hanging from the Reno sign. We then stopped at Lake Tahoe. There was a fire going on so the air was all cloudy. We then got to Frisco and drew. It was fun. Alot of people spent time in China Town, that is where the interesting folks are. Me, Shaylee and Stacey went out and explored.We stopped at Pier 39. You could seee Alcatraz across the way. As we explored we stopped at a Wallgreens and there was a guy before us checking out and he totally looked like Hugh Jackman. The next day we went to Pixar. There was a little car garage across the street so we checked it out. Then we went into Pixar. It was amazing. The next day we went back to Frisco and drew some more, and explored some more. I think we walked all over that city. We went to the Japanese Tea Garden and the Palace of Fine Arts. Which, by the way, ILM is right next to the Palace of Fine Arts. I did not know this till we came back. Anywho, on our way back to Utah we stopped in Grass Valley. It was a quaint little town. Lots of locals, but fun. Then we stayed one more fabulous night in Reno and then we were back home. I took lots of pics, I just wish that I stayed with the group and drew more.
