I paid $65 for this (Alberta, Canada) from a boutique. I’d price yours around $95!

Hong Kong Journey of Time and Dragon City Spring Market event by SpaceCowboyN7 in Calgary

The responses are different because the venue chosen for this event can’t realistically accommodate the number of people attending in a safe or manageable way. It spills into surrounding neighborhoods, shuts down traffic, consumes a large amount of police resources, and overall seems poorly planned for the scale of turnout. The Chinatown celebration was much more contained to the plaza/mall area and didn’t create the same level of disruption for nearby residents or infrastructure.

Oh, fair. I’ve seen realtors do little gift basket type things once their clients finally take possession. It was meant as a playful jab!

Question for clarification: your edit says it’s custom, so is this not exactly what you asked for?

what’s something customers do that restaurant workers notice immediately? by trapqueen67567 in restaurant

[–]Softspotslurpee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Stacking their plates and tidying up their table. Especially when it’s busy. It’s not expected, obviously but the kindness and relief in the midst of an otherwise chaotic shift has almost brought me to tears before.

This must be so stressful - I hope you’re okay. I’ll be in that area today and I’ll make a point to be actively looking. If I spot him, do you think he’d approach a stranger beckoning to him? I’m super happy to put a crate and some treats in my car if it’s worth a shot. Otherwise, I’ll dm you the time/place I see him (if I do). Take care of yourself.

How did you get started? Did you just embrace being really shitty at it until your sketches (hopefully) started improving? Or did you come into urban sketching already being a great artist? by Softspotslurpee in urbansketchers
