This video was doing the rounds back in December but I still want to share it with you. Created to promote the Eames exhibitions and events in the Pacific Standard Time Cultural Festival.

Interestingly before his rap career Ice Cube studied architectural drafting. In the video he describes the Los Angeles he knows and gives props to Charles and Ray Eames.

Love the line: “They was doing mashups before mashups even existed.” – Ice Cube

Before it becomes a distant memory I want to put up some photos from the ‘Mid-Century Soirée’ that I attended last month. Held at the famous Walsh Street House in South Yarra,  the cocktail party was organised by Outré Gallery to coincide with US artist Shag’s ‘Inscrutable Mystery Guide’ exhibition.

The Walsh Street House was designed in 1958 by the architect Robin Boyd and is featured in two of Shag’s paintings, one of which was the centrepiece for the evening.

With Shag also flying over from Los Angeles for the exhibition it seemed like the perfect excuse to fly over to Melbourne for the weekend. Below are some photo’s I took at the exhibition:

Last year I was lucky enough to participate in the Aeron Hockey tournament at the Living Edge showroom – an event held during Designers’ Saturday 2008. As winners, each of us in the team won a Herman Miller Aeron Taskchair worth about $1600 each. I have to say – my days at work are now very comfortable!

Below is a video that I recently put together to give you a bit of an idea of what the game is all about (click the high quality button once its going – it looks way better). The soundtrack I used is a song called ISHC Theme Song by The International Superheroes of Hardcore (a.k.a New Found Glory)
