Monday weekend roundup: Greschagen Popenko closing reception, Cosmic Bang, D.A.N.C.E. to the Underground, Catalyst Magazine Presents

Oh my goodness, what a weekend! It rolled in like a hurricane and went out in a literal ball of flames!

The party started on Thursday night, when I attended the closing reception for my friend's Greschagen Popenko exhibit at USC. Artists Renata Popenhagen and Maria Greschenko collaborated on a multimedia installation piece aiming to create the sensation of stumbling into a painting. It was an ambitious piece, crawling up the walls like some sort of sleekly colored modern art ivy.

And only Renata can turn an art closing into a full on dance party - I loved it!

From there it was onto my next adventure at Cosmic Bang.

The vibe was cool, the music was good, and the kids were dancing!

Friday night I cut out early, having spent a luxurious day off in bed.

But that was only to gear up for Saturday night's D.A.N.C.E. to the Underground! Which was amazing as always!

Ben is my inspiration for life - I don't think I've ever seen this guy without a smile! I'm so lucky to have fallen into the Dance Crew - it's like a wonderful neon family!

And then Sunday night was Lorena's birthday bash, with Not The Government making a truly rock star exit. The night ended on a rather unexpected note, but quickly adapted to a bonfire party at the Bixel house. A bonfire that someone decided to throw a lighter into, which erupted into a massive instantaneous fire ball. Yeah - crazy times! It flared up for only a second, and since no one got hurt, I'll say it was sort of awesome to see.

Unfortunately, no photos of the evening exist because, well, like I said...the night progressed rather unexpectedly!

Don't forget! Birthday party on Saturday!!!
