Life Outside of Work: November 2009 Archives

Thank You Sir, May I Have Another...

Ok folks... for those of you that didn't make it to last week's Pub 44 Book Launch event at Arlo & Esme (where we've put our new mission "more fun, more often" to the test,) NO WORRIES, because the next party is already in the works. Stay tuned for details about our upcoming holiday event.

See you at the next one!

A special thanks once again to our sponsoring friends at Bear Flag, Hendrick's, Milagro, Reyka and Sailor Jerry for making the night extra special by providing us with TASTY beverages.

Blue Q, Baby

I heart Blue Q. And I heart the guy who runs it; Mitch Nash. Think you're not familiar with Blue Q? If you've seen Cat Butt magnets, Dirty Girl soap or Boss Lady compacts, then you know the wise guy stuff that the Pittsfield, MA company creates. … MORE

Lubalin Now

Herb Lubalin is best known for his wildly illustrative typography and his groundbreaking work for the magazines Avant Garde, Eros, and Fact. Of course, at SPD, we have a special place in our heart for him as the namesake for our lifetime achievement honor, the Herb Lubalin Award, given just 12 times in our 45-year history. On Thursday, November 5th, The Cooper Union is opening their new gallery with "Lubalin Now," an installation of recent posters, publications, and motion graphics by internationally recognized graphic designers that spotlight an emerging trend toward expressive lettering and typography. Original sketches, magazines, logotypes, and posters selected from the Lubalin Center Archive will illuminate Lubalin's influence on contemporary graphic design. Some samples, and info on the Opening Reception after the jump... … MORE

It's About Time...

I need a good drink and along with it, a good reason to come into work late. Do you? Yes...you do.
Solution: We've got a time, a place and (a few) great reasons: Tuesday, November 10 at 7PM please join SPD at Arlo & Esme to kick-start the season by celebrating the launch of the 44th annual, which will be available to purchase (or better yet pick one up for free if you're renewing or joining as a new member!)
Pass the word along to your fellow photographers, illustrators, stylists and even, ahem, editors.
RSVP to get on the guestlist after the jump (free!) and see you there... You'll find me on the dance floor.

***Special Thanks to our new Members' Outreach committee volunteer, Todd Weinberger for hooking us up with our awesome sponsors: Bear Flag, Hendrick's, Milagro, Reyka and Sailor Jerry!
