ISSUE 6 RELEASE PARTY WAS SICK

Huge thanks to the bazillion people who turned out for our painting battles at Hope Lounge on Thursday. It seemed like everyone was having a pretty great time.


The battles were intense. Since issue 6 is the California issue, we picked a different California-related theme for every round. Round 1 was Adam Carnes vs. Charm in a battle themed around 'gridlock', and round 2 was Leif McIlwayne vs. Scott Ferguson painting their impressions of Alcatraz. After our crowd decided on the winners, the main event pitted Charm against Leif in an L.A. riot themed battle for the grand prize and their choice of any canvas from the nights' battle.


Free hot dogs-- excellent warm-up for free vodka.

Io, displaying Leif's winning piece. Congrats, dude!

Leif was the overall winner, earning the privelege of buying an open bar for 350 howling onlookers-- but nobody walked away empty-handed. Huge thanks to Sabatoz paint, Itsasickness, Ambiguous Clothing and every single one of the individuals who made the party go off. It couldn't have happened without you, guys.
