Wimmins day

Well Cat and Dug went down to to the Horror cafe in Newtown, Jhb. We took Andy, Clare, Katy and Ben along. We met up with some serious grafitti artists and three Ashoka bods... The organizers were not well organized no paper till much later, only two marker pens but plenty of cans of spray paint.

We had about 25 youth attending...only 7 or 8 wimmin.

We worked on some themes and some images and then the artists began to draw the designs.

We retired to the Horror cafe for tea. When it started getting dark we drove past the designated wall and they were alsmot finished! It looked really good.

Some local cops stared harrassing us for encouraging the kids to do graffiti and i was beginning to get really pissed when one of the organizers came up and said she was responsible and i was merely an invited guest.

The youth should be proud of the work they did in Newtown today. I feel confident in their skills, their insights and their spirit!
