A restless night. The bed kept growing warm beneath me.

Women Who Code - intro javascript class

OSCON party

Cool in the morning. Turning pleasant by afternoon.

The theme of the party was The Elements.  The ballroom was divided into four parts, representing Air - with bungie-trampoline rigs that people could try out, a bubble machine, (not very comfortable) inflatable armchairs, and pop corn and cotton candy for all who could stomach them; Earth - with rock climbing, pet rocks to decorate, an earthquake simulator, and a potato bar; Water - a couple of dancers inside giant clear beach balls floating in a pool (I think that they were supposed to be ballerinas.  But they couldn't do much more than strike poses.), two seahorses on stilts, and sushi; and Fire - a couple of fire dancers, and phad thai.  Oh, yeah, and beer and wine and mixed drinks, Italian sodas, pop and water.  And, as I found just as I was leaving, ice cream bars.

Selwood Park

Clouds in the morning, turning sunny by noon, with clouds creeping in again in the afternoon.

Packed a sunhat, sunscreen and water bottle, and, of course, my tablet, and rode to Selwood Park.

2nd Annual West Coast Urban Sketchers Sketchcrawl - South Park Blocks

Blisteringly hot.

Packed my tablet, sketchbook, water and hat and walked downtown.

2nd Annual West Coast Urban Sketchers Sketchcrawl

Director Park

Summer Solstice

Cloudy and cool in the morning, turning sunny and warm.

Packed my phone and my tablet and walked downtown for this month's sketchcrawl, in Director Park, followed by lunch and the passing of books.

Hardly anyone did the fountain. Most did the construction and the giant chess game, and the surrounding buildings. I discovered that my stylus doesn't get along with the new tablet. It often doesn't register, or registers late. I ended up zooming in and using my finger, sucking up the battery.  And after a few tries came up with a 'workflow'.  I'd make a rough sketch in red, then add another layer and draw the real thing on top of that, then fade out the preliminary sketch.
