Project Chaboo Opening Parta~y

The opening was a SMASHING success!!!!! Lots of pics by Amy Ruppel here. We counted 737 people through the front door and I estimate 200-300 came through the side and back doors for around 1000 total people. The energy level in the Ford Building was off the charts.

People were digging the installation design by Lisa and Emily, the photography, and of course, the chaboos themselves. Without exaggerating, the reaction was beyond anything I have ever seen at an art show. People were simply blown away!

People were actually READING the bios. Despite the party atmosphere many people were intensely immersed in the bios.

My number one goal was to create a positive boost for the participants and also the community in general. Mission accomplished!
