I used to think I was good at sidewalk chalk. I bet you did too. After heading to the Pasadena Chalk Festival last week, however, I almost feel inclined to go back in time and inform my elementary-aged self to put the chalk back into the box and pursue other arts and crafts such as coloring books and Play Dough. The drawings that the dusty fingered festival-participants were creating in the courtyard of Old Town were beyond masterpieces and put anything that I may have ever doodled to definite shame.
