Pecha Kucha Again

I was excited to go to this event because the first one was off the hook. Many of these people are creatives and are not the best public speakers but some managed to have a great stage presence and make their presentation really interesting.

I am going to try and get Vince to speak at the next one.

Of The Man


I decided to brave the Vancouver Comme Des Garcon / H & M release on Thursday at the downtown location in Pacific Centre. I think Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal were the only stores to stock the collaboration.

We arrived at about 8 (two hours before opening) and the line was about 60 deep. My friend was in the front and she got there at 5 in the morning. At ten just before the store opened there were about 300 people in line. The most interesting part was the demographic of the people in line, about 90 % asian and mostly the ones that follow street wear not fashion. The asians are always down for a deal.

When the doors open it was pure madness, people grabbing shit that wasn't there size, and holding onto it to try on later. This meant you couldn't get more than a few items in your size unless you were really lucky. I managed to get the cardigan I wanted but was unable to get the jackets that I really wanted. I attacked all wrong. Oh well, it wasn't the best of quality anyways.

Anyone want to trade a trench. I got a 44

CS4

I went to a seminar put on by Adobe today. It showcased the new features in CS4. There are a few things that would make our lives much easier. This was pretty cool:



I'm looking forward to using the blob brush in Illustrator. The bone structure feature in Flash. The web galleries generated by Indesign CS4 is a game changer for me. I'm sold, Matt time to get CS4 for the office.

Embody


I'm like all the other design nerds out there who love Herman Miller products.

I was using a Aeron chair at one of my full time jobs and I loved it.

I just read that the person that created the Aeron has developed a new chair called the Embody.

It doesn't look as good as the Aeron in my opinion. But I have to see it in person.

Matt time to get one for the Finale Office.
