-A mayor proclamation!

On a deceptively regular Tuesday (the second of this month) the mayor of the city of New York, Michael R. Bloomberg, delivered in the form of an official document, a proclamation:

-It is hereby be known that today, Tuesday the 8th of august.... (Very official stuff continued)... shall be known as "Pokemon day"!!!!

*For liability reasons I must now clarify that:

2- Most likely was hired by Pokemon himself

Given the excitement and buzz surrounding this day, I was hired to document it in its full glory. Here are some excerpts:

and for not getting a magazine-worthy shot of them:
