Rhymes With Orange Newsletter #9, October 2002

Hi Friends!

There are a few Rhymes With Orange events coming down the pike, so pencil me in:

THE WASHINGTON POST ON-LINE CHAT:
This coming FRIDAY, October 25th, from 1-2 p.m. EST

Go to http://www.washingtonpost.com/ and click on their "live online" tab. I'll be there, ready to chit chat. Of course, I fear it's going to just me and the moderator, and we'll have to pretend people are writing in questions. So do your part and come say hi.


OPEN STUDIOS
November 9th & 10th, 10 a.m.- 4 p.m, at my studio in Florence, Massachusetts.

You are ALL invited to come visit me at my studio for my building's 10th annual open house. 50 other artists and I will open up our doors so you all can snoop around and see what we do every day. I will have magnets, pads, postcards and prints for sale as well. Driving directions are at the end of this newsletter.

The comic highlight of last years Open Studios came when a little boy came up to me and said, "Do you draw Tin Tin?" When I said, "no," he turned without a word and walked away.


DOG & CAT BOOK SNEAK PEEK
Reigning Cats and Dogs, the RWO dog and cat book due out in April 2003, is on its way to the printers. For a sneak peek at the cover, go to the web site and get to the "What's For Sale" page. When you're there, double-click on the old book cover. The new book cover will pop up!

Hope everyone is enjoying the fall. Hope to see you on the 9th and 10th.

Best,
Hilary

DIRECTIONS TO THE STUDIO:

>From the East or West: Take the Mass Pike (Rt. 90) to Exit 4 and get on Rt. 91 North. Follow Rt. 91 N to exit 19, the Northampton/Amherst exit. Go off the off ramp and go straight through the set of lights. Go straight through 3 more sets of lights. You are on Bridge Rd. Go a couple more miles and you will see a blinking yellow light with a soccer field to your right. Take a LEFT at this blinking light onto North Maple St. Go straight through your next set of lights. Your second right after the lights is Pine St. Take a right on Pine. In less than 1/4 mile, there will be a big white building on your right with a parking lot in front that says "The Arts & Industries Bldg." Park in the lot past the building on the right hand side. I am on the top floor, Suite 4G3. It is on the left side of the building if you you are facing it.

>From the South:
Take Rt. 91 N and follow instructions from above.

>From the North:
Take Rt. 91 South to Exit 20. Off the exit, take a right at the intersection onto Bridge Road. Go straight through another set of lights and in a couple of miles you'll see a blinking yellow light with a soccer field on your right. Follow instruction from above.
