Oh, What a Night! DCist Exposed Wrap-Up
DCist Exposed 2008 is in the books! What a great night it turned out to be, in spite of the weather! The folks at DCist outdid themselves in terms of preparation and execution. The place was packed! People started trickling in around 6:30pm and then, for most of the night, there was a line of people waiting to get in that went down two flights of stairs all the way to the end of the block! And, it was raining! Up in the gallery, you could barely move there were so many people! We were told that they got about 500-600 people on opening night last year and I think this year they easily surpassed that number. Nice work!
I think I speak for all the exhibit photographers in saying “Thank you!” to all of our family and friends for coming down and waiting in line in the rain! And also a huge “Thank You” to Heather and the folks from DCist for organizing such a wonderful event! Well done!
Personally, I want to thank all of my family and friends for coming down and supporting me… I wish I would have had more time to spend with all of you but, despite that, please know that your presence was truly appreciated. Thank you!!
For those of you that didn’t make it, the exhibit will be running through March 15th, including a special one-hour reception on Wednesday, March 12th. I hope to see you then! In the meantime, I’ve posted a few photos and a couple videos of the exhibit so you can see what you missed. Cheers!
Quick update! Read the DCist Wrap-Up!
You can see the rest of my photos from the exhibit here!
Finally, there are two videos of the event below… I apologize if you don’t see your photo in the video below. Right at the end of the second video, I noticed that my father and stepmother had come into town for the exhibit to surprise me!

Congrats! That has got to be an awesome feeling!
I know when my art work got displayed it was the best feeling ever to show all my work! Congrats again!
I wish we could have been there!
Maybe I’ll drag Chad down there to see it!
