Fin. A big thank you to Red Bull, The Arts Fund, Billy Franchey, Julie Zener, Allison Glenn, Trish Ristvedt, Robert Christian Malmberg, The Villain Team, an excellent bar staff, my friends, fellow artists, family, my gorgeous wife Erin and Mr. Greg McMahon for the spectacular photographs.

Post script, I met some great artists at this event, and the Borbay media team didn’t have a chance to photograph their work or person here, and for this, I apologize.
