Went last night. There was a pretty good crowd at each building. Interesting art work at Axiom. The entertainment tent was at Velocity, with a line-up of dance and music acts. Onyx had a guitar player in the club room. It was nice to see so many people out and about in the hood!

My wife and I went out Fri night. Some interesting music acts at the Velocity tent and the gallery's set up in Axiom were interesting. I echo LJ's sentiments about it being good to see people out and about. I hope there are more neighborhood activities to continue building a sense of community in SE (Capital Riverfront)...

My friends from Near Southwest reported this: It didn't seem to have a huge turnout but then we went very early. It was quite fun and we enjoyed seeing the new buildings and getting into a few of the apartments. It was a great partnership with artists as they are publicizing ARTOMATIC being in the neighborhod in June. We met lots of neat people, a few of whom actually live in the new places. Doubt they raised much for artomatic but it was fun!
