deviantART Summit - Vacation

I’m away for four (Jun. 16 - Jun. 19) days at the 2005 deviantART Summit in Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA.

“LOS ANGELES (February 16, 2005) – deviantART.com, the largest art community in the world, announces the 2005 deviantART Summit on June 17 and 18, 2005 at the Palladium in Hollywood California.

With 1.6 million members worldwide, more than thirteen million pieces of art and one of the largest audiences on the world wide web, the time has come for the unparalleled online art community to hold an event on a global scale to match their global reach, bringing together the most creative minds in art and technology to help educate aspiring artists on how to expose their art to consumers.” (more)

I’ll be staying in a swank hotel for the 3 nights of my visit to LA, called the Millennium Biltmore Hotel. It’s a historic hotel that has been host to numerous celebrities, dignitaries, diplomants and in Hollywood movies. I recently purchased a new camera, the Canon EOS 300D digital SLR camera specifically for this trip. When I return, I’ll process what photos I take and display them here for you. Have a good weekend, I know I will. This weekend also signifies my extended vacation from work until our season kicks back up again in August (See; Abbreviated Life of an SP).

[Update 06/20/2005] Ok, I’ve returned from Los Angeles and settling back into my life as Vince Brown from Philadelphia. While I was in Hollywood, I assumed the identity of a Mr. Vinny Idol, and while there, I interacted with hudreds of people and got photos to prove it. Enjoy:
