Favorite Event of 2003:

Wooster Collective: This year was full of amazing events for us - Topping the list is definitely our wedding in NYC and then our honeymoon in Africa.

Ewos: My favorite event of the year was definately the opening party of the groupexhibition in Vlaardingen on the 1st of November. That was some crazy party, many people showed up and i got soooooooo drunk…well basicly everybody got drunk as hell. Met some new people over there…woke up in a strange house….back then..The rest is history…
