Last week StumbleUpon held an unprecedented five hour opening of “Particles and Waves” at their NYC headquarters. Many thanks to everyone who came out, and the awesome crew at StumbleUpon that helped make it a night I will never forget. Here’s a sampling of the nights festivities in the sequence it unfolded captured by photographer Greg McMahon…

All the people who didn’t get their picture taken during the madness, or came after hours, you are remembered in spirit.

The last photo of the night as we hit 10PM. We may have to make the group photo of the “closer downs” an opening night tradition.
