Much of the B3nson family (and extended family) swarmed upon Brooklyn this past Saturday to attend at least one of 2 events, if not both. The first event being a fantastic gathering put on by the Mollica household for our good friend Peter (aka Pinguinos) in honor of his completion of college, his return home to Brooklyn, and his upcoming birthday. The second event was the last night of the Sgt. Dunbar and the Hobo Banned residency at Pete’s Candy Store. This show was a solid evening which included collective members Scientific Maps and ‘might-as-well-be’ collective member Matthew Loiacono. Pete’s Candy Store is an… intimate venue and despite the cramped, sauna-like atmosphere crowds of people poured in to enjoy all 3 acts. Check out some pictures here. (sorry Maps and Matthew, we were too far back to get any good shots!)
