Hi Jonas, thanks for posting the poll on sketchcrawl start time!
I vote for 10:30am since that's when other LA sketchcrawls started, and it's halfway between 10 and 11am, which most people seem OK with.
As for location: how about Chinatown? Besides Vicky, a few other people who want to participate from Society of Illustrators also expressed interest in gathering there because it's Metro-close. There are a mix of old Chinese shops as well as trendy art galleries, so this should be an interesting place to sketch!
How about if we meet at:
the Chinese gate at Central Plaza, facing Broadway
(850 N. Broadway Los Angeles, CA 90012)
Directions:
From the Metro: take the Metro Gold Line to Chinatown station, walk west along College Street one block to Broadway. Turn right on Broadway - the gate is on the west side of the street.
From the Westside: take the 10 Freeway east to the 101 south. Exit at Broadway and turn left.
From Pasadena: take the 110 Freeway south and exit at Hill Street. Turn left on College Street, and turn left on Broadway.
From Hollywood or the San Fernando Valley, take the 101 Freeway south. Exit at Broadway and turn left.
From Long Beach or Orange County, take the 5 North or the 710 north, to the 101 north and exit at Alameda or Grand. Follow signs to Chinatown.
Parking:
meter on the street, or lots for $3-$5/day
