Drinking & Drawing, Done & Done
June 28th, 2007
And it went great. Big congratulations to a ton of folks, including Lee, Carrie, and, especially, Dan, for a job well done.
The above shot shows the first group of about eighty animators for tonight’s jam. Clockwise from lower left: Jerry Beck, Dan Meth, Bill Plympton, Pat Smith, Dave Levy, and Lee Rubenstein. Thanks, guys.
A LOT of pictures and one funky film to follow.

What a great night. I’m going to have a terrible hangover tomorrow, but it was worth it. I can’t wait to see the animation.

Is that Bill Plympton I spy in the corner there? Did you guys get Bill involved?

I can’t see what concoction you guys came up with!

Yeah, JX, it is indeed Bill Plympton! To have all those guys drawing at once was pretty amazing! Later on Joel Trussell, Pen Ward, Amid Amidi, all sat down to draw We’re doing one in NYC next!

i don’t see nearly enough drinks there. you guys were in clear violation of the rules…

It was indeed an awesome night! Didn’t see Bill Plympton though. Lots of cute girls but no Plymptonage. I had a helluva lot of fun. And a hangover at work the next day (today).
When’s the film gonna be done? Huh?? huh??
Animator #15 needs to know this information!
Thanks for coming up with this idea and hosting it!!

Only an animator would be looking harder at Plympton than a cute girl. Hell, Bill was likely in the middle of a crowd of cute girls. His favorite place.

Oh I saw the cute girl all right… trust me. it was after that my eyes wandered left and saw the top of his head.
As far as Bill P groupies, he gets tons of them i bet. Such is the life of an animation rockstar.

Drinking and Drawing was SO MUCH fun! Thanks to everyone for helping us get the night going, especially Fred, for encouraging such a wacky, fun event. Lee, Dan, and Eric, you guys rocked. Thanks to all of the patient animators that waited to participate. I think it was a really fun night. Can’t wait to put the film up…
