Members of Christopher Stevens family, ladies and gentlemen, let me first thank Chris Stevens brothers and sisters for their warm and delightful insights into what he was really like.

We can divide the world into people who like the smell and do not like it. Here is another problem. We brought along this is not the same thing. This is a huge distribution register, but it looks similar. When you use something on the exterior of the building, it will rust. Has to be maintained. Take robert brush, scrub it down, prime it tough. How much does it cost . 7. It is not very green, though. Lawrence. Here is somebody who saved 7 and put in an old or register for the heating system. Jefit is beautiful, but the spas are too big, so insects can get in. But its beautiful. That can be solved with a screen on the back. Good idea. Its beautiful, good use of an old piece of equipment.

Here we are at the embarcadero. We are standing at one of locations for the street artists. Can you tell me about this particular location, the program . This location is very significant. This was the very first and only location granted by the board of supervisors for the street artist when the Program Began in 1972. How does a person become a street artist . There are two major tenants. You must make the work yourself and you must sell the work yourself. A street artist, the license, then submitting the work to a committee of artists. This committee actually watches them make the work in front of them so that we can verify that it is all their own work. What happened during the holiday to make this an exciting location . This would be a magic time of year. You would probably see this place is jammed with street artists. As the no, there is a lottery held at 6 in the morning. That is how sought after the spaces are. You might get as many as 150 street artists to show up for 50 spaces
