unsolicited testimonial: everything they say about plaza pen & art is absolutely true. they have an excellent selection of materials (especially calligraphy materials), are knowledgeable about them, have a good teaching space in the back, and are so incredibly nice! i called at 5 p.m. from the getty to ask if it was worth trying to get there by the time they closed at 6 p.m. the woman who answered the phone told me not to worry about it; she'd wait! and she did! even though the drive from the getty to fountain valley took me till almost 7 p.m. (how do people handle even part of that commute every day?) i am now the proud owner of a new 3.8 pilot parallel pen, a set of watercolor pencils, a whole set of mitchell nibs (teri's favorites), a brause nib, and some "handy snips."

but my brain is full! the orange county calligraphy guild had a show hanging a show in the back room at plaza pen, so of course i had to look! art is all i've done today! and it's all packed in there about as tight as it can go.

on the way back we got rain, the kind that smells so good, so i rolled down one of the windows and blasted the heater. i haven't eaten in 10 hours but i'm not at all hungry. i feel as if i've feasted, not fasted.
