I'm going to be attending Tara McPherson's live painting event at Kidrobot on Thurs. March 27.  It's free and runs from 6-8.  She's an amazing artist and if you're into toys, I'm sure you're familiar with KR.  I'm going solo, but wouldn't my meeting up with a few AE readers.  Let me know if you want to come along, as I'm looking to meet new people too. 

take care!
