John is ready to work. It's hard work drawing on the sidewalk. You can see he's wearing kneepads, and right now he's moderately clean. He was up at 6:30 this morning so he could get a good spot. When he and Lynda got there to register, things were basically in chaos. Seems that they have a new board this year and maybe they're not too sure what they're doing?
So Lynda and John finally got started.
This is how they looked at 10:30 or so when lazy Alex finally arrived with the drinks & the camera. 
Fortunately, there are several coffee shops nearby, so they were sort of okay. They were working like maniacs, hoping to get a good part of the job done before it got too hot. At 12:30 our friend Zoe came by. Lynda, her husband Tim, and Zoe are all Virgos, so Zoe brought lunch for everybody. Pretty yummy stuff, too -- mediterranean appetizers with cilantro, basil and feta in pita bread followed by marinated shrimp, coconut rice salad, organic grapes.
and that's not all. She also brought birthday cake. Chocolate, really yummy. I was supposed to bring the birthday candles, but I forgot, so we stuck a piece of chalk in the cake to take the place. And nobody had to blow it out. 
Somehow all that good food seemed to make the artists tired or something. Work seemed to grind to a halt. Seems like there aren't so many crowds looking at the art this year, but it was expected to be a really hot day, and more people usually come on Sunday and Monday when more art is finished.
