sunset scramble

so here is something i was working on yesterday. really i was just toying with the word sunset to see what i could come up with. i like the idea of fragmenting the word, making the shapes of the letters be abstract.

watch your step on sunset

don't be dumb

if you haven't gone to sunset blvd. (the street that we are doing our book on) this week and done some serious research and shot photos, you will be booted from the group. i think we all agree to this. if you are slaking considers yourselves warned and don't be dumb and make us kick you out of the group and all feel awkward.

the kids are alright

some weather we are having

a few items of business

1 i have been searching all week for historical info and photos of sunset, and i haven't been able to find much good information and pretty much no photos, so unless i find anything soon i think i am abandoning the historical section and just focusing on people and possibly something else.
2 it seems that there are a few members of our group who have not made themselves known to our blog community. for those of you, make a blog and contact us. in the event that everyone has, why don't i have all the blogs addresses. is there something wrong with me?
3 remember everyone to be keeping your eyes out for book formats and whatnot.
