My second show with the wonderful folks at create:fixate was a great success.  Once again the production and event was second to none and went off without  a hitch.  Considering the event hosts over 20 artists, countless bands and d.j.s on two seperate stages, and thousands of guests, it is no small feat. Thanks to everyone that came out and supported the event.  A special thanks to all the folks who supported my work.
