      It was private. there were a lot of people who had press passes. I don't have one at the moment. I was invited to this event. Many years back i did a public art project for the city and one of my old contacts invited me.

      I too think rebuilding would have been the way to go. from what i understand because of all the new developments around- it would have been impossible- but who knows... what will king kong think of the knew building?
