You should never stop scowling at hipsters, ever.

Checked it out yesterday evening. It was pretty cool, some neat installations in the houses and lots to explore and interact with.

Personal favorites:

-the slide going from a second floor, out of the house and back into it as it dropped to the first floor
-wooden bridge between two houses (functional)
-the greenhouse (with a tree fort of a sorts)
-ocean theme basement (complete with a "cuddle cave")
-"pin hole" room (you have to see it to understand it, hard to explain)
-Hot Dog room (guy set up a kitchen as a giant hot dog stand and was serving up dogs for people)
-a bathroom with a total "The Shining" theme going on
-a room of "rock", plastered with magazine spreads of rock gods and the music blaring

Definitely going to go back and check it out again, I'm sure we missed stuff (and one house with lots of cool graffiti on it wasn't open yet).

I was keeping my eyes open expecting to see peter12 standing around with a sandwich board on him reading "This is not art", which would have undoubtedly made people think he himself was participating in some form of performance art.

Gonna check it out and was wondering if it would be better to go when it's light out or after dark. or does it really matter?
