I've been Sketched

Sketchy Elf, who knew?

I was invited to the Kava Bar for Open Mic Night to watch some friends perform, and one of the patrons decided to do some urban sketching. Well, they decided to use my silly self as a subject and I'm Totally happy with the outcome. Not a bad likeness.

Killed it again.

Always worth a laugh.

I sort of had a good reason this time.

Ok so running elfLand on a new server now. Because of the CentOS debacle, I'm switching to Alma Linux like pretty much everyone else.

@cdarwin Soooo, nuke Palo Alto.
