Summing Up Lisboa (I)

Back since yesterday afternoon after the shortest night ever, a bumpy flight and an undecided battle against exhaustion. Before I get into all the details, some panoramas (again! whoopee!!) in advance. This time some of them actually fulfill a purpose though – showing you the vast localities of this year's OFFF conference to give an idea of how massively big it was. And the others, oh well...

From top to bottom: my stylishly clean cut room at our fancy pantsy hotel, the view from that very room, the line to OFFF on the first day, the big conference hall, standing ovations for Joshua Davis, Dag rockin' the Bleed presentation in the small conference hall, André and me lunching in downtown Lisbon before hitting Oeiras, and watching Paula Scher all the way from the back in double vision.

At OFFF

Ok, just a really quick update on my time here in Lisbon. The hotel is uber fancy, the weather is nice (I've been in Norway too long – 24° are already hot for me) and the conference kicks serious ass. Some organizational problems – lectures never on time, horrible catering, sanitary facilities – are more than compensated for by a very cool location, nice crowd, impressive guest list and my childlike awe at being at this place. The two days so far have been long and exhausting but super interesting and fun. Not seeing too much of Lisbon itself due do lack of stamina at the end of the day. Still managed to squeeze in a little bit of Bairro Alto and nice portugese restaurants. Here's a list of the people I've managed to see up until now: Neville Brody, Joshua Davis, United Visual Artists, PES, Onesize, Chris Milk, Xtrabold, Jason Bruges Studio, Director Kobayashi and little bit of Paula Scher (Pentagram) and Eva Vermandel. Tomorrow, the last day, it's Si Scott, Stefan Sagmeister and SUPRB. Ok, enouh with the name dropping, detailed reviews and reports will hopefully follow soon. Word.

Off To OFFF

Heading to Lisboa tomorrow afternoon to, along with over 3000 other designers, watch a shitload of more designers that are way way better than me, talk about design and show their latest design works. Maybe some other design stuff as well. Not to mention design. Offf the (designer) hook, biatch!

We'll see how the blogging from Portugal goes...

Mixtape Bug

Ok, it works again, but I had to sacrifice my good old Mixtape :( I guess the Boombox is cool too. If only that &$%@! play button weren't so hard to find. Arrrrgh!
