Natalie and I decided last night to meet up at the Society of Illustrators today - partly because we both want to get back in the illustration scene, and also because I know a girl from SCAD (Kate) who just got hired there full-time. Unfortunately, I learned upon arrival that they were just taking the show down, and that they'd be closed for a month. Nevertheless, we chatted with Kate a bit, and she let us look at the pieces that were still up, and showed us the SCAD professor's work that was in the show. We talked about "student outreach," which is part of Kate's new job title, and it's appropriate, since Natalie was the founder/president of the Illustration Society at SCAD, I was the second president, and Kate was the fourth (having just graduated). We also talked to former Society of Illustrators president, Terry Brown there. Natalie and I both plan to volunteer and get involved there.
We wandered around around the Upper East Side a bit, and were planning to also check out the Whitney museum, until we found out it's closed on Mondays. Should've known. One fun part of that trek though was that we saw Barbara Walters on Madison Avenue, after she came out of the Carlisle. She looked glamorous in all white jacket and pants, with her hair done and big sunglasses, but she's definitely aging. Go figure...she's been around quite a while.
We went back to Natalie's and hung out, then got dinner at a place called Buddha BBeeQ (teriyaki salmon with rice and salad for $11??! - Deeelish!), then went back to her place again to watch a bit of TV with her roomie, Julie.
Tomorrow, I'm getting up early because I have WORK to go to!!! yay! (I'll make that a separate posting...)
