Had so much fun at the Ogden Museum for the opening of Aubrey Edwards + Alison Fensterstock's "Where They At".

"Where They At" includes photographs, listening stations, and written interviews with each musical artist. Show runs through August 1st. Here is a video from the opening party...sorry for the angle.
