Well, strictly speaking tonight wasn't a disaster. Verdon Street Rec centre was open, had a real member of staff there, who stayed the whole time, the kitchen was open, I had a model and there was heat.
None of the annoying little twerps from last week even attempted to get into the building, but they were playing coin toss outside, and were too afraid once they realised who I was to actually do anything. One or two comments about the fat nuddie woman and things like that as I walked past them. Ok so if you're scared of me naked, be really afraid when I'm dressed!
The model turned up, well prepared and looking wonderful and beautiful to behold.
Only 2 people turned up to draw, but on the upside the wonderful Aislinn didn't charge me the rent, I think she felt a bit sorry for me, only having 2 people in the class with me. I don't mind because the 2 who turned up were 2 of the people who came last time, so good news all round. It can't get any worse. My natural optimism says, next year, all being well, if we can keep the oiks away, we may well get more people coming to life drawing at Verdon Street.
Fingers crossed.
Toes crossed.
Touch wood.
And whatever else you can think of to bring good luck.
I'm giving it 3 months to such the money out of my wallet, and if it isn't breaking even by then I'm calling it a day.
So what I want to know now is, what's your excuse for not coming? It better be really good.

I really like your art. The background is a little distracting though. I hope you will make something for the next ABC! It is no pressure, strictly for fun.
Yes it is a bit distracting, but I've not been able to figure out how to get a background behind the words only and keep the piture down the edges. As soon as I can sort it out I will, any ideas?
