...Although there may not have been any ladies in the cast, one of the attendees appears to have brought one to the performance. His program included some cheat notes to make sure of her name and phone number and a reminder to bring a corsage of roses for her.

From ESPNU - When two of the nation's top three-ranked squads square off, a fantastic game with a fantastic finish can be expected. That's exactly what the fans at Blake Arena saw when FAB 50 No. 1 St. Patrick (Elizabeth, N.J.) took on No. 3 Findlay Prep (Henderson, Nev.) in the marquee contest of the Hoophall Classic in Springfield, Mass., on Monday...St. Patrick was down 42-34 at the half, but used a scintillating second-half performance from Duke-bound point guard Kyrie Irving to get back in the game. He scored on a variety of jump shots and acrobatic moves in the lane, but it was two free throws by Irving with one second left that put the Celtics in position to tie the game and force overtime...With St. Patrick trailing 71-69, Irving nailed the first, but the game-tying free throw was off target. Teammate Michael Gilchrist, who was nursing knee and ankle injuries, came up with the offensive rebound, but had his put back attempt blocked by a trio of swarming Findlay Prep defenders as the buzzer sounded. With its 71-70 victory, coach Michael Peck's club from Findlay Prep (22-1) will move up to No. 2 in the next ESPN RISE FAB 50 Rankings. The No. 3 ranked Pilots lost by one point to current No. 2 Northland (Columbus, Ohio), which is set to take over the top spot in the national rankings following Saturday's win over No. 9 Oak Hill Academy at the Hoophall Classic...Irving, the No. 6 player in the ESPNU 100 and a Mr. Basketball USA candidate, finished with a game-high 30-points for St. Patrick (10-1). Findlay Prep's counter part at the point guard position, Cory Joseph, finished with a team-high 23-points, on 8-of-16 shooting, with nine boards. Joseph, ranked No. 30 in the ESPNU 100, is another Mr. Basketball USA candidate. He battled leg cramps in the second half after scoring 16-points and helping his team build a first half cushion...It was uncertain if Gilchrist, the No. 1 prospect in the ESPNU Super 60, was going to play in this game after suffering a knee injury in a game against Union (Union, N.J.) on Jan. 5. Gilchrist gave a valiant effort and even made contributions after suffering a sprained ankle in the first quarter. He finished with 19 points...Findlay Prep forward Tristan Thompson finished with eight points before fouling out, but wing Nick Johnson picked up the scoring slack for his Texas-bound teammate with 16 points. Johnson is the nephew of former Boston Celtic guard Dennis Johnson and the son of California playground legend "Jumping" Joey Johnson...Monday's marquee at the Hoophall Classic was a matchup of two great point guards and two great teams, but unfortunately time ran out on St. Patrick, which suffered its first loss on the year.

1974- The Tower editors hosted a get-together of Prep Driver's Ed teachers for an afternoon of anecdotes to form the foundation of the yearbook's feature on Prep students' shared experience of learning how to drive. Senior editor Steve Auth, who had come to the Prep from St. Benedicts when it closed suddenly in 1972, moderated the discussion with Wrestling Coach Fred Pierro (l) and dean of faculty Sal Caprio (r). The latter's most memorable lesson ran amok when he drove with a student down to Newark, left him at curbside ("I'll just be a minute") while he entered a store on an errand for the headmaster, emerging to discover "Murphy" had been forced by the cops to move on, leaving Sal stranded and the student (unlicensed!) meandering around the warren of one-way streets in the city trying to find his way back to campus. Once rescued Sal's colleagues did not let him forget it.
Well… I know it is still a long way off…but my BCN trip prep book has begun. (4th international USK symposium in Barcelona if you don't know what I am referring to!)
And this year the trip prep will be a HUGE focus for me. I AM (i really AM!) going to start training for sketching people more…
So here is the title page and a few pages that I did this week -using reference books initially to get the right marks and proportions happening and then will start sketching in public. I promised my friend Chris that I would have done 20 faces and 20 figures before I saw her next… so the night before… I did them all! I can intersperse my people sketches with planning notes (such as how to decide on which workshop to do - this page was writing down my shortlist of way way too many!)
And then last night while waiting for our dinner, I sketched the view! Actually this was just a glorified thumbnail that now is a 'sketch'. I have thought of a while that the best way to do cafe sketches is to draw the people first and then hint at the interior space later - of course Jim Richard's new book and his approach- start with people has been a good reminder. THis time I actually drew the middle group of people first and I found that that really helped me get the people closest to me the right size and the further group then behind them. I have discovered a Pilot V pen while sorting my studio and really love it to draw and then dissolve the line! FUN FUN FUN.
I have been agonising how to draw more people for years I know- I do have a mild dread 'ruining' a page in my normal sketchbook which I know is totally hypocritical and yet a separate sketchbook just for people seems like a cop out for me. SO having in my trip prep book feels right to me!

Building motors, wiring up the electronics, and packing the parachutes…
A missing o-ring in the yellow G64 motor Erik is assembling here will create some trouble later in the day.
