What I meant to say was, ORANJE was off the chain! Well, at least everything except for the stages in the Bassment. Those were hung from chains.
Wow. What an incredible night. We can't even begin to explain how much it meant to us to have all the great people involved, from our sponsors to the participants to the people who helped us clean up the building. Our hearts go out to you, and we give you the applause of a coliseum.
This has been such a great experience. While there are certainly times that it's a difficult road, we've made some great friends along the way, experienced unbelievable success and growth as an event and are proud to be contributing to the Public Art Initiative. For the few bad things that happen, there are hundreds of successes that crush the bad things. We are very grateful to all those who participated and attended, and we cannot wait to bring you the next ORANJE.
It looks as if it is safe to say we had over 2,000 people this year. Closer to 2,200 including participants. It's been a wild ride, and we are looking forward to taking some time to reflect on this year's show.
If anyone has any pictures, we'd love to see them. We would like to put some of the better ones up on the site. If you have any photos from the night of the event, or even good ones from the setup, please contact us if you would allow us to put them up on the site. We will credit you for them.
Thanks again, everyone! We will see you around the way this winter, and look forward to another incredible night next September. ORANJE 2006 is tentatively scheduled for
Saturday, September 16th, 2006.
Mark your calendars!
