This past Saturday I hung out with my friend Stacy around DC and VA. We both are involved in a "Creative Pay It Forward" art exchange meme. You post on FB and offer to make handmade things for the first 5 people that comment, then they are required to post the same offer and so on. So Stacy has been hard at work and already had my gift ready. It turned out to be a handmade plush Domo! So freakin' cute. She even sewed my name on the back. Pics
here and here.
We met up downtown where she was gettin' her hair did (which turned out very awesome) and then went to lunch in Ballston at this great sushi place called "Matsutake Sushi". They have a sushi lunch buffet weekdays and Saturdays for like 14 bucks. I must have eaten a good $50 worth of sushi off that damn buffet and it was soooo good. I'll sure as hell be going back there soon.
After lunch she had a 3 hour shift of "Gallery Sitting" at the Del Ray Artisans Gallery of which she's a member. So I went down to hang out and keep her company for the time and also took a walk around in Del Ray. I stopped in "A Show of Hands" (where she, Jen and Jessica all have items for sale) and also the crazy ass comic store/exotic plant store. That place looks like a comic collector's basement blew up in 1987, but I found some cool stuff amidst the chaos. I also got to shoot DRA's current exhibit "What's Your Bag?" which both Stacy and Jen have pieces in. Pics from that here.
Later we met up with Jen, Jeff and the Stacy B for dinner in Old Town at a place called Overwood then over to Bilbo Baggins for drinks and conversation. I had never been to either place and liked both enough to go again. Stacy also gave Jen her gift which was a handmade Hello Kitty plush. Super cute. After that it was back to Jen's to watch "Avatar". All in all a super long and awesome day.
