Sure times are lean and we've had to cut some corners, but luckily we have plenty of left over booze and snacks from the last few gatherings.
This month we have been forced to get a financial bailout from the U.S. government to help fund our happy hour. We will be distributing equal rations of bread, vodka, sausage, and potassium. January 30th 6 - 9pm at the Vega Project studio.
Vestalife wins Best of Show, Design, Innovation, and Value
So we’ve done a little matchmaking lately, and it feels pretty good.
We recently paired up two of our clients in a collaboration and they are getting along famously. Vestalife is new on the block as an innovator in the audio market. Their Ladybug iPod speaker dock is their first product to hit the public, and it is getting a lot of attention. Future Sounds has appeared on our blog a few times. They are currently known mostly for their monthly CD of unsigned bands that are hot and up and coming, and their RUMBLE party in San Francisco and L.A. This month as part of the collaboration they gave away Vestalife's Ladybugs at both RUMBLE’s and it was a smashing hit.
More promotions and other exciting things are coming soon. We’ll be sure to keep you all informed.

We recently completed an all new identity for our chums at Future Sounds. They are masters at finding up and coming musicians, usually unsigned and under the radar.
We went with the infant icon because it works on so many levels, while reflecting the timelessness of music it also metaphorically shows the extreme newness of the music they are promoting. It's also a little disturbing using a "music geek" baby which makes it memorable and was the main reason we went with it.
Check out their blog which was just revamped, they also have tour, a radio show and they put out a CD compilation every month showcasing the most promising musicians.
This month, Future Sounds 32 already has a few breakouts, Lemon Sun, The Morning Benders and The Muslims. Some other recent bands to break right after being on Future Sounds include Brazos, Johnossi, The Virgins, the Shout Out Louds, Mgmt, and Sam Sparro.
They also do an event in San Francisco and LA every month called the "Rumble". Check it out if you get a chance.
This month we have a very special happy hour lined up. We have our good friends David Hopkins and DJ Jimmy Love of Non-Stop Bhangra providing live entertainment for the night. You don't want to miss this one!
We will also have the usual vices, design gossip, and general lewd behavior that we've come to expect every month.
Hope you can make it, please RSVP
Happy Hour at the Vega Project is a special time, it's a time of reflection. An opportunity to meet people, some special, some interesting. All with a common goal of eating processed food and drinking excessively. If this sounds like your type of self-destructive behavior, please join us!
This month's entertainment includes paper airplane races and euchre. Also, take our new color laser printer for a spin!
This month's poster was influenced by our favorite multi-purpose designer Elliott Earls. First 10 people get prints.

RSVPs appreciated, hope to see ya!
Through my efforts to prepare my oldest son for big brotherhood, I started making these shirts. That was my only intention with them, but then on a trip Liam and his daddy took together several people asked them where they could buy the shirt. That is how Baby Bot was born. He's a cute little fellow, drawn by my dear Liam who inspired it all.
So please, check out the site. Buy a shirt. Tell a friend. Help send my kids to college. :)

There are more designs coming, so hold tight!
After missing last months, we've decided to pull out all the stops this time. We'll be serving White Castles, Mac n' Cheese along with Vernors n' Captain cocktails. Plus as always, free posters, conversation, beer and wine. We may even have a veggie or two laying around. Hope to see ya!
