I did a day trip up to Santa Barbara to attend a celebration of the 50th year of College of Creative Studies, UC Santa Barbara.
Despite quitting early, my years at Creative Studies made a lasting impression on me and my art work.
I was hoping to connect with old friends and perhaps make some new ones!
I carpooled up with Lani Asher and Stanley Somers, both visual artists and classmates.
Lani was also my roommate when I lived in "downtown" Santa Barbara.

I'm so glad that I went! I had a great time!
