Awoken by some seriously, ominous sounding thunder claps at 5am on Saturday morning, a single thought was shared by most ( if not all) participants for this years Power to The Peaceful event in Golden Gate park; what happened to the sunshine?! Well, we all forged ahead, braved the rain and lightening to bring the Sam Flores live painting experience to the people.

And for those of you who stayed in your beds on that rainy, gloomy Saturday you missed out. But as always, we won't leave you hanging...

After, rocking out on canvas, Sam sat down for a few to sign autographs and doodle in some black books. He was probably approached over a hundred times for an autograph while painting and being the gracious guy he is, he greeted each person and was happy to indulge.

Thanks to everyone who came out. and An enormous thanks to Sam who, like a rock star, braved the rain to paint for us.
