LIVE MODELING/DRAWING SESSION--favoring first-time and prospective models!

I found a place to hold our next modeling session (our old Rockville location is unavailable, at least for the time being).
So let's have another one! (It's been TOO long, I know, and several people have expressed an interest in trying it.)
ARTISTS INVITED; WOULD-BE MODELS (and those who THINK they MIGHT like to try it) ARE ESPECIALLY INVITED!
*** THE LOCATION ***
I've booked us in UNION 206 STUDIO, in the Landmark area of Alexandria; WE ARE IN STUDIO C. It's a bit of a hike from the nearest Metro (Van Dorn Street), but I have to say, THE SPACE ITSELF IS EXCELLENT. (See more at bottom of this notice, and at "How to find us")
*** THE TIME ***
Our time slot is from 12:00 noon to 4:00 PM. Those times are firm. So I expect the first half hour will be set-up, and I'll probably end promptly at 3:30, to put things away and be OUT by 4.
*** WHAT ARE WE DOING? ***
I propose what has come to be our usual routine:
--we'll have an experienced male model (probably Yours Truly) demonstrate a few poses (nude) and then,
--if all goes well, an experienced female model (I have good hopes of finding one) demonstrate a few poses (ditto).
--Then we'll open the floor/model stand to anybody, GIVING PREFERENCE TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER MODELED BEFORE.
*** WHAT SHOULD YOU BRING? ***

1. Drawing materials, if possible. I strongly urge anybody not actually modeling to draw. It doesn't matter if you can draw or not (I can't); nobody will see your work unless you CHOOSE to show it. I'll have some sketch pads and pencils.
2. IF YOU THINK THERE'S THE SLIGHTEST CHANCE YOU MIGHT MODEL, bring a robe or wrap. (The studio has a changing room right there.) Flipflops are recommended. Some models like to have a small towel to put down when they sit. And a professional model will have a timer--although I'll have one available for this session.
   *** A COUPLE OF POINTS ABOUT THE VENUE ***
3. For this session, please limit yourself to pencil, charcoal or conte, or a pen that does not dip. I don't remember anybody doing this before, but for this space I have to insist--no paint or dippable pens or anything that could spill and make a mess.
4. This space will not allow me to provide my usual snacks in the studio. If I bring them, I'll have to leave them for us at a little snack counter outside in a common area. And people will have to eat them out there.
   *** AND MY USUAL REMARKS TO PROSPECTIVE MODELS ***
   If you think you'd like to try modeling, but you're not sure you're ready, this is the way to try it! Unlike accepting an actual job COMING OUT TO THIS SESSION DOES NOT COMMIT YOU. You'll get to see a couple of old hands do it; then try it WHEN you're ready, IF you're ready. Also, at this session, it is not required to do it nude (although it is highly recommended).
   *** FINALLY ***
   --Some have asked me about photos; this is NOT a photo event.
   --There is NO CHARGE for this event. But as always, I happily accept donations to offset my expenses.
   --This event will include live nudity (non-sexual), most likely of both sexes.
   *** MORE ON FINDING US ***
   The building has a green front, and shows number 820. Union 206 Studio is in 822, around on the far side of the building (as you approach from Van Dorn Street). See photos here:
