People's Party photos

Here are some photos from the People’s Party event for Eric Garcetti of L.A.’s district 13. Thanks to all the DJ’s who came through, and to Eric Garcetti for his impassioned speech about L.A. and the importance of being involved in the community, and for being there despite having to deal with some serious events that happened earlier in the day just a few blocks away from the Party and from his house.

If you can, make sure to go vote in today’s Los Angeles Election.
