My New Portrait Sketches Of Both Friends & Customers Alike ( I Like! ) On Friday Night 11/19/2010 @ Sorriso Restaurant / Harry Potter Movie



This was a big evening ' day for many with the " new " and second-to-last installment of the Harry Potter movie ( from the last book in the series, Part One ) at the Uptown movie theatre on Friday at 7:30PM, November 19th, 2010 as well as my fabulous dinner at the same time the movie was showing over a block away at the Sorriso Italian Ristorante/ restaurant ( Friuli and Veneto influence ) when I sat at the bar and drew pictures of the owners and many of my customers that I know well from Cleveland Park Wines & Spirits.




Oops! Bill, you are upside down here and you will have to rotate it yourself to see it better : or rotate your head instead to see it more clearly - whichever works best for you.




Hello Pietro above ! Thanks for the marvelous salad and pork chop that you made for me and which you got upset at me that I did not eat quickly enough as I was drawing so many portrait sketches of you and everyone else including your son and wife and old neighbor, too - John ( as well as Karen my excellent bartender ). I took pictures of you and your son holding the portraits, numbered them 1-11 I believe and gave them to him for you all as a " wee little thanks " from me to you all and your fine Italian restaurant. I felt like family with you all as I waited for my son and his friend to watch the Harry Potter movie. I wanted to drive them home as we live in northern Virginia and he is not used to driving in the district even though he does now have his license and is able to drive himself. Wow, what a big step.




Here is one of the four Morning Poems that I wrote the next morning ( Saturday, November 20th, 2010 ) thinking of this wonderful experience.




Oh, when I met my son and his friend after the movie we returned to Sorriso Ristorante for home-made gelato made by Pietro's son as well as some cake. I drew some more while they ate these fine desserts! Cheers, TONY

I still have the three other poems I wrote and I will include all four on my chatpoetry.blogspot.com as soon as I am able. Cheers and thanks for the memories guys and gals alike on this most wonderful moment spent at Sorisso Ristorante/ restaurant a couple of evenings ago. TONY

P.S. Happy Holidays and Thanksgiving to one and to all 2010 ... I heard that the " new " and latest Harry Potter movie was great as well, that's great and I look forward to seeing it sometime soon as well.
