It seemed every artist in Liverpool was at the Static Gallery in Roscoe Lane on Tuesday night for the Superlambanana event.
Wild in Art, the organisation behind the Go Superlambananas! project, is looking for artists to submit ideas to decorate the lambys which will be placed around the city.
There were some pretty groovy design ideas on display.
Alex Corina brought his Superlambanana on rockers, with mop top and starry glasses, while French artist Laurence Payot decorated two medium-sized statues there in the gallery.
Unfortunately I was one of those who had to bolt before the paint started to fly. Or spash. Or run.
There was so much going on on Tuesday night, it was a real reminder of how fab and busy Capital of Culture is turning out to be.
Some people were heading for Stags and Hens at the Royal Court, others were Unity bound for Momentum's Anima dream dance event, while I was living the nightmare, not the dream, at the Playhouse.
Kafka's Metamorphosis was a nightmare, but a very good nightmare - thoroughly entertaining and depressing in equal measure.
The place was packed with teenagers (who whooped and cheered when the lights went down) because apparently it's an A Level set text. A bit more heavy duty than the Oscar Wilde and Samuel Taylor Coleridge I remember doing battle with....
