Well, I drove to San Luis Obispo for the I, Madonnari event held on 9/10 & 9/11. Left Long Beach @ 10am on Friday. Stopped at a couple of vista point on the way. (once along the coastline & once in the mountain...) both stops had a nice view. Arrived at San Luis Obispo event site around 3:30pm. Walked around to get the feel of the area. It's actually a very nice town. I liked it. Well, went back on Sat morning for the event @ 7am but it was drizzling non-stop for 2 hours... finally it stopped at 9am and the ground was somewhat dried by 9:30am. Everyone pretty much just sat & waited till it finally dried as well. Once we started, it was non-stop till it started to get dark. The day became nice in mid day and got hot at one point. But around 7pm, people started to say it would rain overnight. Next day I went back to finish my chalk art ( I was 2/3 done) and there it was, most people's drawing were washed away by rain. It only had a ghost image. Everyone pretty much had to go back and repaint to bring out the color again.. well it was an experience but I did well..... check it out on my Streetpainting page...
