Earlier this month I participated in an art show that coincided with DJ Dahi's TOYS album release at spaceLUNA. (Download the album here.) Good peeps, nice art, and overall positive vibrations. Here are some (blurry cell phone) shots from the opening night. Thanks to Franz DG for the invite; Jino, Ramichael, Emily, Maria and the spaceLUNA peeps. More about spaceLUNA (via FB) here.

UPDATE:
I believe the show runs through February. Info here.
