Lubbock 2: The Buddy Holly Story

March 19th, 2009

After looking at all of the things that Becky had circled in the brochures, I opted for the ones that were *NOT* on the Texas Tech campus. My wife would burst into Crimson and Cream flames if I stepped foot on anything Red Raiderish. The Buddy Holly Center was on the way home. I got there just before closing time, so I ran through it pretty quick. I was able to get a few sketches in though. They had his cub scout uniform and his crayons from when he was a child, his baseball mit, some love letters, all of his 45′s (because many will not know what a 45 is). They have some of the memorabilia from the crash, including his overnight back with photos of the contents. Outside, there is a huge pair of glasses next to the marquee.

When I finally got home around midnight, I had enough energy to draw the EDM challenge, “Draw something Mom”. I didn’t have the energy to upload it and blog it. Long drives like that (5.5 hours + dinner and a nap = 7 hours) wear me out. I argued with myself about posting all of these pictures into one blog for Friday night. I thought I might be violating some unwritten ethics. Then I decided that it was my blog and I would make the rules up as I see fit. So, since I drew and journaled every night, you get three posts.
