On Easter Morning I sketched at the Winter Park Village. For a short time I lived across the street from Winter Park Village on Gay Road. I rented a condo from a snow bird. While there I re-tiled the whole place which was a monstrous job. I lived there shortly after the Pulse Nightclub shooting. I remember sorting the 49 portraits on the newly tiled floor. I had to make prints for a play produced by David Lee.
I usually go to Winter Park Village to go to the Regal Theater. The Florida Film Festival uses that theater as one of its venues. I am planning to return to the Winter Park Village to get much needed camping supplies for my emergency evacuation gig bag. I realized as I was packing for Hurricane Milton that I don’t have candles for my candle lantern and I need Coleman fuel for my mini camping stoves. I also think I need to get a good backpack which will fit under an airplane seat for my many trips to Film Festivals. I have just been using my art bag, but on the last trip, my sunglasses popped out mid flight. At least that is what I assume happened. The backpack would have the advantage of having zippers to secure such items in storage pockets.
