Two of the most electric weeks San Diego has ever seen culminated Saturday night with the opening of Viva La Revolucion at MCASD's downtown location.  Excitement built rapidly with huge crowds gathering to watch iconic figures in street art transform our city.  When Saturday finally arrived, lines wrapped around the block to get a peek inside the museum and to rub elbows with the artists.  JR, Shepard Fairey, Os Gemeos, CALMA were all in attendance.  Our photographer Carly Ealey captured all of the action --
