Astroland: The Show (MICA Commencement Exhibition 2010)

The Ultimate Final All-Nighter Insanity Showdown before graduation.

Thanks to everyone who ducked in and tripped out in the cosmos room for those five chaotic days. Hope this gives you an idea if you missed it. There were seven blacklights, one strobe light, 3D glasses, Astroturf, a gold velveteen loveseat, and stars on the walls.

So until next time!
