Officials are now estimating that some 45,000 people flocked into the streets of downtown for the splendid Peforming Arts District’s open house on Sunday.

The lines to get into all the gorgeous new buildings remained about 5-6 people deep and going on 200+ long throughout the entire day. Therefore we opted to spend most of our day nursing a glass of wine and enjoying a cheese plate while people-watching at Dali Wine Bar However, we did bring our cameras, so Art&Seek decided to talk to the folks who did get inside to see all the glorious performances.

Big thanks to Tiffany Kieran for volunteering to wield the mic while we ran the camera.

Jerome just posted more video from the open-house extravaganza here. They were among the lucky ones who actually made it inside!
