The contest is simple. Check into Olive Valley next time you are picking up something to go. Take your meal home or to your favorite spot to eat. Take a picture. Submit the photo via Foursquare. The owner will select his favorite from all images submitted in the month of January award dinner for two to the creative photographer. Footfeed also has a very sweet user experience and you can see the style influence of Foursquare in the icon mobile application design. When you check into multiple platforms the notification sceen pulls together the bits of digital candy on one screen. It’s neat seeing all the information in one place even if some of it is notfications on what services DIDN’T check you in. The use of cute icons can never bring back the half an hour I just lost trying to be fair to Footfeed. I’ve done that alot with this platform and with other promising new appliactions.  Without 3rd Ward’s facilities and dynamic members (many of who I now call friends ) loosing my precious 9-5 prestige job would be a thing of great stress and gnashing of teeth. Just this week several of my friends booked the use of 3rd Ward’s lush photography studios for a book project an article for Spank Magazine high lighting the custom silk screened clothing by Scooter LaForge. All that geeky backslapping said what better time to gather the posse, guard the front door with shotguns and watch the most current episodes Sunday Nights over at Pine Box: Rock Shop where the only saved canned goods will be of the alcoholic variety. For you Zombie lovers on a budget you will be happy to know each week there are drink specials and Happy Hour prices during the screening.
Free events rock. New York life in general is expensive enough without having to fork out cash each place you meet friends, hang out or frequent. Loving Free stuff but knowing nothing in life comes with out a cost I am picky about which I subject myself to. Having recently left the steady income of a 9-5, 40 hour a week Jay- Oh- Bee I’ve been going to and thinking alot about free events. If I didn’t plan such get out of spending money events on a regular basis I would be broke or be a complete recluse. The world got to see the bright eyed young faces behind the solidification of the Geek/Nerd ascendancy over modern popular culture. Talks given by the founders of College Humor Foursquare founders kicked off the week and set a light hearted inspirational tone for attendees those (like me) watching desktop. Most of all do you the owner like it? In the end this seemed to be the biggest thing in the end. In researching this topic I found most marketers branding professionals agree on this one point. Modular concepting, Icongraphic Memory the history of brands are all good things to understand but in the end I’ll stick to what Jason Rand said in his Branding Class that I took this summer at 3rd Ward: “Who cares what ANYONE thinks in the end. It’s your brand. Period.” The general understanding of street art is any work that is unsanctioned and is posted illegally in public spaces. Wheat pasting, stenciling & use of stickers are all offensives punishable by fines in most cities. An unspoken artistic weight also comes from street art’s place as an expression of modern economic class-ism. |
