RAW was AWESOME.
The first word that comes to mind is “crazy,” but you know… in a good way. So, the next three words that come to mind… “I loved it!” Hey, take a selection of creatives from the local art scene and drop them in a venue like the Act Nightclub at Palazzo, and it’s gonna be a party!
Discovery is all about bringing art, fashion, music, hair & makeup, performance art, and models together for a great time and memorable event, and this was no exception.

The three of us, Kevin Mahoney, pinstripe artist Gary Jenson, and me, got there just a few minutes before Tiegen Kosiak (pronounced “tee-gun cozy-ak”) took the stage with her powerful erotic poetry performance. As she was laying down her lines, I thought she was a great writer. I look forward to sharing more about her and her well-thought words later.
I’m a huge fan of beautiful and exciting body art, especially in a great environment like this. Live music. Beautiful painted ladies and a fantastic venue.

Between live performances, DeeJay AlphaQ was keeping everybody hopping.

It’s all in the details. The ACT is truly an amazing venue. Detail is everywhere, and more than you would imagine is authentic here: real wood with real history, reborn to a new life in Las Vegas.
Great crowd, too. There is so much fantastic energy at these events. Vegas has a very creative emerging art scene.

Be abducted. It was great catching up with Christy Love from Alien Tequila – representing and enjoying the festivities. BTW, their tequila is delicious. AlienTequila.com
The music talent for this event was amazing. JoLeigh Tracy sings a soulful tune. Discover her here: RawArtists.org/joleigh.
From the balcony… catching some fresh air outside, and it’s a great view of Treasure Island.
