Dick Blick Adventure

Some day last week I headed with Steve and Pat to get some necessities from the magical wonderland of art that is Dick Blick.

We took the subway which was a first for me. I ripped a dollar trying to rush to get tokens and make the train so I had to steal some of Steve's tokens to get a ride. Orange line to City Hall was the trip. At the station I saw a dude peeing on the wall AKA giving me a Downtown Welcome for my first time exploring Philadelphia.

We headed to Blick as I snapped touristy photos of sculptures and architecture. I was pretty paranoid about snapping photos with my phone and not paying attention to everything around me. Got to Blick and realized it was WAY bigger than mine back home ha We got our stuff over the course of over an hour (Pat need to buy kits individual style), I got 2 necessities and some recreational art supplies that I recently realized I'm probably not going to be using anytime soon. I <3 Foundation for reasons other than the workload.

Rest of the trip in a nutshell: Got back on the Orange Line, turned out to be the express, ended up getting off at Erie (which was ironic due to it being a bad neighborhood), got on the right train, and got back to Temple.

Philly's downtown area was much nicer than I had assumed. I gotta get off campus more often ha
