Words can not express how bad Glow at the Santa Monica Pier was last night. It is mind boggling that in a city that has so much artistic talent the organizers of Glow were unable to find any. The whole event was a sham … just awful. The premise was great but whoever curated this event should go back to their day job at the checkout counter of the 99 cent store. All the artists had a chance to do something great and blew it, showing and executing nothing that inspired the audience to do anything but walk home asap. Hopefully the city will support an event like this next year … as it is a great concept and the city was very supportive of it. It would be an awesome event if the curator rose to the occasion and gave the city and the people something to be proud of rather than the joke that they did this year.

The award for the best GLOW of the night went to this guy who was really nice and let me take his picture.
