I thought that this event was pretty cool overall, however it was pretty ridiculous for them to charge $15pp for basically one large room of art. It barely costs more than that to spend an entire day at one of the amazing museums in Chicago, so I felt that they were being a little greedy. I would say that half of the art was really awesome and the other half looked like stuff that anybody could make and was less than impressive. Shepard Fairey's stuff was definitely cool and it was neat to see so many of his different pieces.
