"The MINT" San Francisco student gathering.

WOW! This week was so awesome mere words cannot describe. We had a student gathering at this fun karaoke bar called "The Mint." There is nothing like the feeling of finally meeting the people that you only know through type and avatars. It was a pretty good turn out. MY MENTOR came! It was awesome to talk to Bret...she's such a sweet, fun person on top of being a top animator!
Above: Me, Bret Parker (AM mentor for session 1) and Ashley Wilson, my awesome classmate.Above, is myself, my friend Casey, Ashley (Bret mentee), Sean Dicken (Bret mentee), Bryan Wyser (Bret mentee) and Taylor Mahony (AM staff and student)! Fun times.
