Frightening. Mad Max wannabes and princesses of punk ruled at Spacetaker's Apocalypto "gala" at Winter Street Studios.

Winter Street Studios rocked with Mad Max vibes inspired by the Apocalypto theme of Spacetaker's annual "gala," and we use the term "gala" loosely. Think a dystopian scene in which black leather, tattoos and chains, baseball bats and other weapons are fashion musts. Embracing the wicked mood of the night were close to 800 fans of the organization that assists community artists. The mostly motley crew packed a converted warehouse for an unconventional night of food, drink, entertainment and insane people-watching.
