SCBWI 2009 Summer Conference

I've just wrapped up four days at the jam-packed, star-studded 2009 conference of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.  Below are a few pics from the event's big party, the Blue Moon Ball...

With Max, aka Sara Wilson Etienne, writer-extraordinaire.

Fabulously costumed blue ladies of the night.
Yoko enjoying some California wine.
A full blue moon...

And below are some rough sketches from the actual conference...

If anyone has sketches from the conference, let me know! I'm compiling sketches in a new blog.
