I don't think we met that night. My name is Myles and I am with Philips-Solid State Lighting (aka Color Kinetics). We are the manufacturers of the lighting. What made this so special is that all of the lighting is LED based. I would love permission to submit your pictures to our marketing group to be posted on our web site, www.colorkinetics.com. Feel free to drop me a line.
