Travels with Plink and Flame

[mdlbear]

Went down with Colleen for the hotel's buffet breakfast around 8am; I'm eventually due to meet the rest of Tres Gique for "breakfast" but figure that it'll be more like a high-protein lunch. (ETA: have just heard from Joyce; they're heading down for breakfast now. Will join her for coffee; may ping cflute from there.)

Went up to the front desk to see about getting a room with a proper ADA height toilet; got a booster seat instead, which is much more practical for the current situation, since it means not having to change rooms. Win.

Inquired at the bell desk about drug stores; there's a Rite Aid a couple of long blocks away just on the other side of 101. Mainly we needed coffee filters, having discovered that the stupid bear had forgotten to pack them. Also plain aspirin and kleenex. Yesterday morning was hectic, to say the least -- I was too busy making mini-fliers for QV to do or think of much of anything else.

Between the drug store and the little park next to the hotel in that direction, I got in a nice hour's walk. There's a Denny's just this side of 101 at the corner of Topanga and Burbank.

Beautiful.

Thanks! It was done sort of at the last minute, though I'd found the artwork a couple of weeks ago on Wikipedia. Nice thing about the artwork is that it's an etching, so it's black and white, all lines and dots. Should be easy to turn into scalable SVG to use as, e.g., screen backgrounds.

I know, you showed me shortly after you found it. I've got an idea for it's song directory; all the pages can use that as a background image template. It'll look beautiful.

*nod* Exactly what I had in mind.
