Since I regained gainful employment, the sketchfest starts while I'm at work, so I miss about 4 hours before I even get home, and that's if I go home on time (this week, a new client couldn't make it in during normal hours, for instance). I've also found it takes a while to get my brain switched from work-stuff to art-stuff, and I'm usually TIRED on Friday too. I've been finding that by the time I'm ready to switch to art, I'm also too tired to focus on it properly, and if I sleep in on Saturday (one of the PREMIER pleasures of the world, when I'm working in an office and have to get up at the crack of dawn every week day) then by the time I get up and have breakfast, it's mostly over. Heck--even while I was unemployed, I rarely got anything done on Saturday morning, doubtless simply because it's morning! (I am SO not a morning person!)
Which is a long-winded way to say I'd be pleased to see a discussion of whether the current 24-hour plan is the best plan for most people involved in sketchfest.
