Surf photography is the kind of art that has the power to tickle a wide variety of people. When this tickling power is complimented by complimentary pretzels, popcorn, AND refreshments, beautiful things happen. ERGO made some beautify on Saturday night at the Transcend The Delusions Surf Photography Slide Show! It was a happy time.

The doors opened at 7, and the line was thick and enthusiastic with fans of the arts. The slide show got cranking shortly thereafter and boy did it tickle the crowd. It featured some of the best surf photographers in the world, showcasing their unique styles of documenting the strange things that happen in the ocean. A highlight of was Brian Beilman’s exclusive Andy Irons tribute section. If there’s one thing in the world that can successfully incorporate Bruddah Iz singing Somewhere Over The Rainbow without seeming corny, it was this tribute. Although all of the photographers photos tickled, the AI tribute touched, and not even in the Penn State way. Another highlight was Mez’s song, LISTEN HERE.

The hero of the night was ERGO megafan turned intern Ryan Mack.  He’s only 16 and becoming one of the best photogs in the state.  His photos started off the slide show, and boy did they tickle!  He was so excited on the night of the slide show that he even offered to individually put mustard on everyone’s pretzels, although no one took him up on the offer.
