Micron Pigma .005 pen in Moleskine sketchbook
One of my favorite musical groups —The Fishtank Ensemble — was playing at the Freight & Salvage tonight and Michael and I went to hear them. I’ve posted about them before so won’t go into details except to say they’re fabulous! You can hear some of their gypsy jazz/klemer/flamenco tunes on their website. I sketched while we waited for the show to start but was annoyed that I had the wrong pen–the extra extra fine point instead of the .01 I usually use.
Freight and Salvage started out as a Berkeley folk club/coffeehouse 39 years ago, and was originally located in a warehouse with that name. It’s a wonderful place to hear a variety of great music and I’ve had some very memorable nights there. But this night is nearly over and tomorrow is my painting class and I have to leave early in the morning, so…buenas noches, mis amigos.

Way behind on my blog reading; so fun to see what you’ve been doing. I spent many happy an evening at “the Freight”, but haven’t been in years. Need to check it out again.

The sketch turned out interesting, and illustrates a certain vibe, though it was probably hard on the fine nib…. Cool blog. I like the different images shared.
