Last night I want to VaultCamp, an independent ETech 2007 after party organized by Pete Forde and Ryan McMinn of Unspace Interactive, David Crow and Jay Goldman of Radiant Core and Dan Grigsby. The event was held in amazing venue, an old walk-in bank vault (used for safety deposit boxes) turned into a meeting room, which is in the basement of the Courtyard by Marriott, which itself is in located in a historic 1920’s bank. Of course I had quite a bit of fun shooting photos at the party. It was by far one of the best social events of ETech 2007.

Michael Galpert shot some great video from inside of the vault.
