Save the Date - Saturday, June 4, 2011.

Bring a sketchbook. A group of Philadelphia Cartoonist Society members will be meeting up and getting on the Market-Frankford El (click here for map) that Saturday afternoon. Then we are going to ride the rails back and forth between Bridge/Pratt el stop and the 69th Street el stop, all the while sketching shakily in our books.

At the end of the afternoon, Locust Moon Comics (4040 Spruce Street) will be hosting a BBQ for the group. If you've got a sketchbook and limited wanderlust, and you are interested in joining us for the ride, please e-mail: phillytoon@yahoo.com to RSVP and receive further information.

Now here is some music about the Frankford El from Philly local rockin dudes "The American Dream"


And here is Woody Guthrie's "Hobo's Lullaby"
