westwood ho! or the search for enchiladas on cinqo de mayo I passed through Westwood, LA, while changing buses to go to the getty center. Westwood is where UCLA is located, and I really fancied a sketching trip around campus, but didn't have all that much time. It's a nice area, very swanky. Did the picture below while at the bus stop, and the night-time picture above in the evening after the getty. I had wanted to eat in westwood, but being cinqo de mayo, i wanted mexican food. Onmmy brief skirt of the streets i found no mexican restaurant, and it was starting to get late. Could it really be that i could not find mexican food in los angeles on cinqo de mayo? What a sad case i'd be. So I got onto a bus back to santa monica and went to a place called Lula near the motel - very nice, but pricier than i'm used to for mexican. Duck enchiladas, plus a berry margarita, oh yeah! By the way cinqo de mayo, a mexican festival to mark when they defeated the french many years ago. Always held on the same day every year. May the fifth be with you.

(1.6.07 23:51) Heh. Great sketches. Particularly like the Getty Blaster. As it happens I'm looking for someone to draw a sketch for the cover of my book. Interested? Lee :-) (aka: vikingboy)
