De La Soul and Santogold. All of the artwork in the two floor gallery was inspired by and dedicated to Barack Obama and the new administration.
needless to say, the line was hectic!!!!
Thanks Matt for getting us in with such alacrity...Peace to Gen Art and the production staff.
LET'S GET TO THE PHOTOS!!!
MOBY was the guest DJ for the night..he killed it. I don't care what anybody says, Moby is dope and I am glad he played Fat Boy Slim...
Heather Graham....of Boogie nights fame.
If anybody knows the name of the lady on the left, please let me know. I recognized her from the Take back America Conference and the following day she was in the viewing tower with Barack Obama during the inaugeration ...I think that she works with the SEIU.
This young lady was advocating for the adoption of pets instead of going to a breeder...I feel it.
What's up Shaka (on the right)...we went to college together...I love how small the world is.
CHECK OUT SOME OF THE ART...
Below, we have the hosts (from left to right)...two people that I do not know (please help me identify them), Moby, Michael Stipe, Shephard Fairey, Heather Graham, Rosario Dawson, and a spokesman from MoveOn.org.
Michael Stipe was loving the Santogold performance!!!
Dj Contra - the DJ for Santogold..
De La SOul killed it on the mic...check out the performance photos in the slide show at the bottom of this post.
Mike Strautmanis - Chief of Staff to the Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Relations and Public Liaison.
Casey Affleck and Heather Graham...awesome!!!
This piece was made by one of Washington DC's street artists...I am trying to find out her/his name...if you know, let me know.
Check out the slide show...this was definately a dope party and a great way to celebrate my birthday...thanks Anu, Chay, Annie and everybody else that partied with me. PEACE
GREAT STUFF CHRIS.
