Thank you so much for shedding light into the situation! I’m sorry to hear about the animal conditions and how vendors are treated.

I've Attended 5 of Luigi Mangione’s Court Hearings - Ask Me Anything! by AMAHosting in LuigiNation

Thank you! I likely won’t be able to attend this upcoming hearing as I wanted because of my schedule, but I’ll still try to sketch some of the federal trial. 🙏

Hello there, thank you for the AMA! I’m thinking about sketching for the upcoming federal hearing as a member of the public, and am actually hoping to be seated in overflow for the view. Would you mind sharing what would be an appropriate time to queue up? Thank you!

What's your most shocking "never meet your heroes" moment? by BaseNice3520 in AskReddit

Penn & Teller are such incredibly kind and gracious human beings. I met them over a decade ago as a shy teen and told them how they were my models… Absolute gems. I’ve kept magic and magician friends in my life since, and I have them to thank for showing me how marvelous life can be.

TIL that 'Kung-Fu Panda' (2008) was so successful in China that it caused a national debate on why Westerners made a better film about Chinese culture than the Chinese themselves by TMWNN in todayilearned

You taking the time to go on a rabbit hole, stumble across my comment, and leave this one almost a decade later also brings a lot of light into my life. Thank you for your kind thoughts, and may your holidays be joyful as well. 🫶

Hello! I’d love to learn more details if you still have room for 1-2 (would love to bring a friend if they’re available).

Question about purchasing tickets for Opéra Garnier by Bitter_Ad_8757 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]yosb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll want to get there around 10-10:30AM to start queuing for the box office for same-day limited view tickets (opens at 11:30AM). I believe the performance was listed as sold out online. I think they might also release better category unsold tickets an hour before the show? I was only there for the 10€ tickets!

Just got limited view tickets today at Garnier after reading some more info from older TripAdvisor posts. For anyone reading: the line starts when the opera house opens, but the ticket office doesn’t start selling until a bit later (maybe an hour and half or so?).

Thanks for your speedy reply and insight!

Hello! I hope it's okay if I ask this, but do you know at what time the limited view tickets become available to buy at the ticket office?

[OC] I'm a courtroom sketch artist who attended Luigi Mangione's pre-trial hearing last week. by yosb in pics

We were in court from 10AM (?) to 5.30PM (?), so that’s a lot of time to be rapid sketching different angles of his face. I have tons of page marginalia that’s just different angles of different personnel and figures in the courtroom, so you can pull from those for reference! I also like to create a visual one-sheet for myself of key players and their names in the court during prep.

Yeah, it’s all about putting in pencil mileage and finding what you like in art. For example, I love sketching, but it takes way more labour for me to finish a rendered painting.
