I also attended a session in making Stylebooks, another with Andrea Levy of The Plain Dealer: Golden Photo Illustration - I found this one very interesting. I take lots of photos in the same theme she does, but she does something extraordinary with hers. Susen Schult of Svenska Dagblaget session and Janet Froelich, Creative Director of The New York Times Magazine and T: The New York Times Style Magazine: From 9/11 to Haute Couture. An interesting discussion about branding for the New "T" Style Magazine.
The opening reception was held at Houston Museum of Natural Science. Each exhibit of the museum offered different cuisine, lots of margaritas and wine. A kick-ass dessert bar in the gem and mineral exhibit, with on tower of moving liquid chocolate over biscuits and fruit. Need I say more? Before cocktails we walked through The Cockrell Butterfly Center. Wonderful and magical. The weather was perfect Texas autumn, blue skies and slightly cool breeze. Looking out to the horizon from my hotel room I felt homesick. And everyone from the waitress to complete strangers being so kind, chatty, friendly. It is always hard for me to leave.

It sounds like you had a great time. And I know what you mean about it being hard to leave. Lynn practically had to drag me to the airport everytime it was time to fly back to Florida.
did you happen to meet Chuck Rose while you were there? He participates in "Illustration Friday" on occasion and I meet him when a few of us East Coast sketchbloggers got together in Richmond.
Oh Charlotte, you should go to the butterfly house, that was fun.
Cin, No he was not there but the Times Art director spoke of him because he had done several covers for them. I know who he is and would love to meet him, that would have been a wonderful time if I had.
It is always hard for me to leave "home". I get a little misty when we fly out.
So glad you enjoyed your stay in Houston. Be sure to wear some bright colors whenever visiting the butterfly exhibit. Hurry back.
