When passing through Saigon we always stop at least once in this bar.

Thu and Thuyen, bartenders. Whenever they see us coming they pull out the old R.E.M. cd and put a few more glass beer mugs in the freezer. So yea, while we're normally out on the street with towers of 333 cans, or around the corner tucked into the dirty old Bia Hoi joint, we still seem to enjoy something about this quiet little place and the long, funny conversations with these two.

I met him on top of a mountain on This Day.

I love his beard and I wanted to paint it. He said he'd take a photo with me if I gave him a kiss. We both got what we wanted, and then we drank coffee-schnapps. There was yodeling. It was a good time.

welcome to slattsville....
Six people showed up between 2:20 and 3 o'clock...
I had a long—most enjoyable and entertaining—chat with Susan some time around 1 o'clock, I think. I might have had the sketch of the head and the window started when I broke to introduce myself, explain the medium used, the process and the creative timeline on many of the pieces hanging in my solo show at the Northfield Dickinson Memorial Library to this person I had just met.

When she left, I returned to this sketch.

Remember the last sketch I did at the first of my "meet and greets" for this show? I was sitting across the room, looking at the images in my card rack display and the relative proportions and combination of the images inspired an blue ink drawing of Jack Kerouac, Bette Davis and Bob Marley.

This time, I almost did the same thing. I started rendering a large head of Emily Dickinson but then I remembered the blue pencil I had found in my search through my book bag to find an ink pen and thought I saw a yellow pencil, too. Maybe, just maybe, there was a pink one as well. It would be cool to do a "four-color-CMYK (cyan-blue, magenta-red, yellow and black—"too bad I didn't have a BLACK pen")" piece.

"The traffic is real slow today—I might have a long time to draw." So, the window I sat by with it's picture of bare winter trees became the backdrop for Emily. And guitar music I was hearing from lobby became her instrument (this Saturday was "Special Day" in Northfield, so, all kinds of events—some that included music—were happening at different locations along the main street).

Some pictures on the wall—like the gallery I was sitting in. Books on a shelf like this library contains. A pot for coffee that I had enjoyed early. All of these found their way into this colored sketch.

Yes, after Susan left I had some time to spend until 2:20.

Getting better at German means that I can now talk to people that I couldn't talk to months ago.
