There were seven DJs on the bill for Life in Color this past Saturday night, but the main attraction for the thousands of people in attendance was the paint. Gallons of colorful liquid sprayed onto the crowd during the DJ sets. Men on the stage could barely control hoses spewing pink, orange, yellow, and green flumes.
