Joined 3 other sketchers Sunday to sketch part of the Avengers' movie set. We were at the corner of East 9th and Prospect. Not a lot was going on at this end. There was something going on at one of the other locations, because we did hear a gunshot at one point that came from furhter up the street. We also saw a lot of workmen going through the pile of debris to find twisted and mangled street grates to take elsewhere.
A guy stopped by and told us about how the movie people were blowing up East 14th overnight. I guess we missed that action.
Mina (one of the other sketchers) told us about how the reason this particular point in East 9th was closed was because the bulk of the storefronts had no businesses in them. So, it wasn't hard for them to shut it down.
A little later in the morning, the people coming in for the Indians' game started to show up at the bars. Some stopped by the movie set to peer up the road, but for the most part, it was about 10am, and they were drinking lots of beer at the bars. I repeat, at 10am. We did get treated to a scalper across the street that was screaming, "Tickets!" for about an hour. I'm not sure he is going to make enough money off of scalping tickets to make that worthwhile, especially since you can walk right up to the ticket window and buy some. The other treat we saw, were 50-something men who were really pushing the capacity of their button-front Indians' jerseys.
