With more than a thousand people in attendance, the night seemed far less chilly than the reading on the thermometer. Art auctions alternated with band performances, and a very cool video installation was set up at the far end of warehouse. Tri-cycle races were available for $3, but the people-watching was complimentary. Can’t wait til next year.
