First of all, thanks, congrats, bows and cheers to Enrico and the moderators for all the hard work behind the scenes, and for promoting this global event so smoothly.
What an incredible day, 95 drawing spots all over the world!
This was our first Sketchcrawl in São Paulo, and I had a reservation for 20 on Bar Genésio at noon, and I hopefully thought we'd go a bit beyond that, so I printed numbered stickers with WWSC logos and a place for the name, so we could get to know each other's names without asking.

Just in case, I printed 80 of them. Much to my suprise, they were all gone in half an hour, and people kept asking for more.

In 40 minutes we had taken the bar by storm, and every table inside and out the place was taken. At 1:30 we were leaving the place in a group of 120 crawlers!

Enrico, please tell me if that is a world record!
There was a reporter and a photographer from a big national newspaper covering most of the event, it will be on the newstands tomorrow (monday)! Look up for "O Estado de São Paulo" in the "CIDADES" section, into "Caderno 2".
We headed to an interesting spot, called "Batman Alley", a sort of a small crossroads where each and every inch of wall is covered with graffiti. My son was a bit disappointed for not finding the bat cave.

We went on crawling around the neighborhood, our mood as bright as the weather. It just couldn't get any better.

By the end of the afternoon we got to a small park, and the ones who stayed until the end were gifted with a golden sunset.

And then, beer for the braves who endured 12 hours of sketchcrawling.

Not many sketches so far, I'm still waiting for the guys to e-mail me their pieces, but here we go.

And the donations, which will go now to entities that takes care of children with cancer (GRAAC, AACC and CAMHP) through a contact we had with Cidade Escola Aprendiz.

Crawlers from across the globe, the feeling of being with you all in this incredible event was the best. You have been there, you know what I mean.
Thank you all !
