UPDATE/PRESS: the show was packed the entire night with PFOM crew krushing the Mash-Up canvas and black books. I met so many cool cats that night and chilled with old homies, it was a fun time. Vinyl Pulse was also in the mix, machine gunning the show with his finger on the trigger all night long. Check out his shots and his write-up on his site.
