“It’s an overcast day in Chicago, but if the tour would please look to your right you will see in startling clarity the three tallest buildings that our great state has to offer. We’ve got the Willis Tower, the Trump International Hotel and Tower, and finally we have the…….OH GOD…OH DEAR GOD…WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE….SAVE YOURSELF, SAVE YOURSELF FROM THE DEMON TRIDENT!!!!!
For our next office episode we decided to do it in the style of your favourite director and mine, Wes Anderson! Its been a blast making it so I can’t wait till everybody gets to see it.
Here is a screen cap of whats to come:
Here some jams to get your weekend started! With two new pickers in our New York office Shaheed, and Luke.

So I have been in New York for a week now and I think I have added at least 5 years to my knees and joints from the amount of walking I have done and probably 3 years closer to a coronary bi-pass from all the great food I have eaten. We set up a new apartment, a new studio, new furniture (Ikea you are great but I don’t want to go near you for a really long time), new friends, and a brand new attitude! (if you thought it was bad before, wait till you see me now)
Here are some pictures “oout and aboot” New York.

Thom from our Winnipeg studio recently visited our New York office. He saw some sights and took some photos. These are a few of his favorite things:

While Ed was in New York he had the chance to see The September Issue; a documentary by R. J. Cutler about the hectic and very private life of Anna Wintour, the legendary editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine. What is remarkable about this film is that Cutler was granted unprecedented access to Wintour’s world including a behind the scenes look at Fashion Week, photo shoots, exclusive closed-door staff meetings and (perhaps most notable) the two-decade relationship between Wintour and Grace Coddington, the infamous Creative Director and fashion genius behind Vogue magazine. Read more about the film here.
Ed is such a huge fan that after seeing it for himself he encouraged some friends to go see it too. With a very casual interest (mainly stemming from Ed’s excitement) they went to the Clearview Theatre in Chelsea where The September Issue was playing. When it was all over and the lights came back on, who should walk up to the front but Grace Coddington and director R. J. Cutler. It was time for a question and answer period – a rare treat that, unfortunately, Ed had missed out on.
Luckily, his friend Mark Paulson managed to capture the entire interview for Ed (and now the world!) on his iPhone. Be forewarned: the clapping is much louder than the talking.
