What was GLOW-ing on last night?

We started the evening with a pre-Glow party at Switch Studios in Venice, getting the food and drinks squared away before biking over to the event. Approaching the pier, I’ve never seen so many bikers at night swerving through the crowd. Everywhere we looked, the side streets and parallel streets were filled with bicycles as more were swarming to the event.









One of the highlights from the evening was a light projection upon a large water spray on the sand, reminding me of the aurora borealis.





The second mention is Shih Chieh Huang’s animated creatures made of water bottles and plastic bags dangling from the ceiling of the walkway under the pier. They breathed and billowed in the still air resembling the graceful yet alien jellyfish.










The third and the main inspiration for this party was for the “grunion” fish, which comes to the shore to spawn on the beach during the warmer months. They are native to the Southern California/Mexico region and this spectacle can only be seen at night, after the full and new moon and the high tide.

I think we were all intrigued by the idea of partying until 7am… but that didn’t happen. We were back in bed by midnight, to be followed by our morning walk to the beach before the fresh beach crowd would gather again.
