Aside from the Vinyl show aspect of the gallery opening, the ArtLab space was filled with original art pieces by Kilar, Neil Collyer and Mikey Richardson, as well as ArtLab T-shirts, various books, kinetic sculptures by Morgan Cummins, found objects, and a few items from Derrick Hodgson.

With artist submissions cutting it close, the entire Amoeba Corp. crew was tacking art to the wall minutes before the opening. When everything was ready to go, there were five minutes to spare, leaving just enough time to get a beer.

Things got off to a relatively slow start, with virtually no visitors until 7:30PM. It wasn’t looking too good until around 8:30 when a capacity crowd appeared, and remained until closing (some time around 1AM). Mikey Apples was on the turn tables, spinning an excellent selection of the right kind of schmooze friendly music.

In general the whole evening was a wild success.
