but I won.
Read about my tangle with the State Police. By the way, you do know YOU are the one I am calling to bail me out, right?
Also, I posted some “First Day of Summer” pictures from Pullen Park on Flickr.

My friend T has a 12 year old daughter, K, whose art class participated this weekend in GroundSpark, which is a small part of Raleigh’s SparkCon. Groundspark was a sidewalk painting contest, where about 100 teams drew sidewalk art for cash and prizes.
The weather was nice and breezy, but being out on the street for hours at a time is hot, no matter how you cut it. One of K’s team mates had to go home early due to heat complications, but the team managed to rally forward.
As you can see, K managed to deal with the heat.
K and company, around their entry.
They managed to score an honorable mention in the middle school category. After that, they were not fit to talk to.
As you can see below, there were tons of entrants, and it went from Friday afternoon till Saturday night at 7:30, when they announced the winners and we all fell into the car, exhausted.
Along with the sidewalk art, there was music:
Taggers (Note to my Mom: That means graffiti artists)
as well as break dancers and other distractions (your intrepid photo taker neglected to garner any photographs of the break dancers.)
Here are some pics of some of the other entrants (just click on them to see larger images):
Other than K’s, though, this one was my favorite.
You can see the rest of the pics I took at Groundspark in this flickr album.
