Had a great time yesterday, been wanting to meet liskbot and mad wew for a long time, both real cool guys was talking for a while. 5 artists gave the kids stickers too which was cool, suggested to wife about getting them sticking them on lamposts but think she has a different view on things. Will take them to the "park" later They loved the tag wall and both can say posca nicely now Only downside was nipping over to the custard factory, reindeers were there which the kids loved but unfortunately other half spotted an antique and etsy fair which we got dragged round. She must have known about it. Not sure how much they raised for next year's city of colours as had left before the auctions but hoping it was plenty. Sorry I missed you cnh I reckon by 30 mins
