Foos Gone Wild’s Insane, First Ever Art Show Was Held at Superchief Gallery In DTLA, Here’s Everything You Missed

Punk foos, cholo foos, Black foos, old lady foos, and young foos all came out to check out Foos Gone Wild's highly anticipated art exhibition at Superchief Gallery L.A. just south of the 10 Freeway in downtown Los Angeles. It was the craziest ensemble of thousands of foo characters ever to assemble anywhere in the most peaceful way.

Punk foos, cholo foos, Black foos, old lady foos, and young foos all came out to check out Foos Gone Wild's first-ever art exhibition at Superchief Gallery just south of the 10 Freeway in downtown Los Angeles.

The line started at 5 PM and didn't stop all night. There were NOS balloons, liquor, and weed everywhere. A mass group of cyclists, rolling extra deep from Boyle Heights, also showed up to support, along with lowriders who posted their cars up outside the warehouse.

It was like everybody, and anybody, from all walks of foo-life came out; it was utter foo madness, with at least 2,000 people showing up. When Lil Mr. E finally came out to the crowd, he rolled out with a mariachi, singing along to "El Rey."

It was the craziest ensemble of foo characters you could find, in the most peaceful way, and a vibe all night. Foos Gone Wild's loyal supporters were happy to be there. Lil Mr. E also had a wall dedicated to his own art. The exhibit featured 69 artists curated by Estevan Oriol, who also catered for the night.

There was a circus tent with a burlesque show inside, a wall that looked like a liquor store, and the "Iglesia del Pisto" church set up, complete with a confession booth.

LAPD Officers Watched a Nearly $1 Million Metro Bus Get Lit On Fire. Why Didn’t They Do Something?

On social media, people were quick to criticize fans that participated in the celebrations. But few people questioned why the LAPD, a public agency with an annual budget of over $3 billion, stood around and waited until the bus was on fire before they did something. Or why the city wasn’t better prepared to handle public celebrations considering the same exact thing happened three years ago when the Dodgers won the World Series (again).

A ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ Star Looks Back On Filming at Evergreen Cemetery in Boyle Heights After 40 Years

“I remember driving early in the morning, in the dark, to get to the cemetery,” says Heather Langenkamp, who played Nancy. “I remember thinking to myself, 'I’ve never been over here, but I’ve heard that there’s really great tacos over here on Soto. Robert Englund was such a foodie. He probably told me that the best food in town was over there.”
