This was my first time as well, it was a great day. Due to prior engagements I was not able to arrive until noon, I caught up with some of you around 1pm, finally making it to coit tower at 2pm, then it was time to go home.
I noticed that people walked quietly around the area where people were sketching (filbert steps) to me it seemed as if people were appreciative of others trying to capture the essence of the location.
Anyways, it was a great experience and I am looking forward to the next event.
Lastly this was done on my PDA (Treo Palm) today, found it interesting that all three were visible from my rear view mirror while parked in a store parking lot.
I used a free program called MoePaint, for those interested.

What a great day, and a big crowd!
I hooked up with fellow sketchblogger Jana Bouc, who I hadn't met in person before, and we crawled together. We walked over 4 miles by my calculation.
Here are my sketches:
On the Filbert Steps
Coit Tower
North Beach: St. Peter and Paul Cathedral
SketchCrawlers at Coit Tower
Chinatown: Corner of Grant & California

I had a great time at the crawl + auction! Some sketches...
Here's some sketches I came up with. I'll definitely be joining the next outing. I'm going to work on my speed and the aesthetic quality of my quick sketches for the next crawl so I have more I'll be willing to post. In the past I've always just created sketches as studies for bigger projects. I've been so inspired by the amazing sketches I've seen here from other artists.

I had a great time. The best part of the day for me was in Chinatown. My buddy and I sketched scenes through the shop windows and attracted some attention from the passers by and the shopkeepers who kept taking turns to come out and watch us, smiling and expressing approval. These fish were actually kind of late in the day - makes me wonder what took me so long to pull out the watercolors. Next time: more color
View from along the Filbert Steps of this beautiful garden with roses growing around this tree. Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees, there were some spectacular views of the city to be seen from the Steps, which I didn't draw and so you don't get to see. Next time: better reportage
Coit tower, and then off to lunch in Little Italy. Then back around to China Town where I drew some hanging smoked chickens and the shopkeeper as he studied my partner drawing the same scene.
Embarcadero Bart station on the way back.
