I remember it before they resotred it. Back then it had lots of deteriorating, mysterious corners to explore. One amazing area was a delapidated Chinese section with dragon and all. I don't recall seeing your little friend there, he was probably hiding in the shadows. Great blog and thanks for the old Riverside memories!Bill Cramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16602496811608769300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-73254551826519615652009-10-07T02:17:49.433-04:002009-10-07T02:17:49.433-04:00Hi James it was so much fun talking with you and y...Hi James it was so much fun talking with you and your wife during Baby Tattooville!

Though I didn't get to speak with you much, I did speak to your wife quite a bit and was glad to be informed of the Enchantment exhibit that will be coming up and I'm planning to attend. Can't wait to see you there!Julitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813011502452364744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-42166339774414093262009-10-06T19:36:14.957-04:002009-10-06T19:36:14.957-04:00It was a real treat meeting you at Baby Tattoovill...It was a real treat meeting you at Baby Tattooville and getting a chance to chat a bit.

As a self-described Old Dog, I can say I picked up a few new tricks. What a gold mine for students of all ages, not to mention a big dose of inspiration.<br /><br />Good work, Jim!jeff jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05996337570175075303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-12922114428708690762009-10-06T13:05:43.889-04:002009-10-06T13:05:43.889-04:00I'm surprised you were able to get a quick ske...I'm surprised you were able to get a quick sketch of a Welsh Lapper in. I always thought they were notoriously shy of cameras and sketchbooks!<br /><br />I had a pleasant surprise in the mail today, as I got my copy of Imaginative Realism! I flipped through it a bit before sitting down at the draft table today, but I can tell it's going to be good (I suspect it will begin to suffer the fate of most of my favorite books, and become quite worn and dog-earred.)Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262476114387821096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-37007117407644499842009-10-06T10:20:02.241-04:002009-10-06T10:20:02.241-04:00Books: Thanks so much for the nice comment on Imag...Books: Thanks so much for the nice comment on Imaginative Realism. That book really grew out of the conversations on this blog, so it's a book with many authors, and I'm grateful to everyone who comes to this water cooler.<br /><br />Lucian: Yes, the Mission Inn was incredible.
