Befloor & After

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks here at the C+H Winnipeg office. Moving furniture, working from home, spending a week in half of our office like a bunch of hoarders, putting down/sanding/varathaning our new osb floor. We do it all. Oh and we also got some dead animals to throw around the office.
Enjoy!

We Are Hunted

This is music hunting at it’s finest.
I have been using We Are Hunted more and more lately. I am still exploring and discovering but it’s proving to be quite fascinating.
We Are Hunted is a way to discover new music from around the web that tries to understand and detect what people like and dislike. They use everything from Facebook, MySpace and message boards to forums, Twitter and p2p networks. All of this to guage top online songs at the current time.
There are a few charts to choose from, main charts. Twitter charts, remixes or genres. Apparently, you can also contribute to the lists and make your own charts. It looks like a lot of fun and a great new way to find new or emerging music!
“So many websites are too complex, too wordy, too long. I wanted this site to be digestible in three seconds … to deliver users exactly what they want — amazing, new music, every day.” – Nick Crocker, We Are Hunted founder, May 2009.
Anthony + Chris’s Bogus Journey

On the weekend Chris and I got tickets to Centrex! For those who don’t know what Centrex is, it can be summed up in a couple words: “a star studded, food filled booze romp.” Let me take you through a guided tour.
It looks like any other escalator……..
But once you are up those stairs, its an oasis of bbq, chicken fingers, and beer!
First stop Iron Chef
Chris thought it was impressive!
Iron Chef was intense! and I got a little sweaty, so I thought I would freshen up.
Look who we found!
In his commercials he always says you’ll find him. And that we did!
Now chris needs to freshen up.
All that excitement and we got all tuckered out…..
It’s a Craft!

I love Winnipeg. Why? Because I can get practically any Star Wars character custom made out of needle felt. For some reason, when asked which character I would like by Kornelius von Bergen (the creator of these fantastic Star Wars homages), the only character I could think of was Admiral Ackbar. And I couldn’t be happier.
Kornelius von Bergen belongs to a crew of needle felters/crafters, including Lisa King (the one who makes those mustache necklaces that we featured earlier in the year. Take a swing by their blog to check out more crafts.

My lady partner Kate and I spent the weekend at The Tallest Poppy doing the artist residency. We weren’t really sure what we were doing until we got there, so we just brought a lot of felt, pipe cleaner, way too many googly eyes and a bag of stuffing. I decided to make some coffee cup caddies (inspired by the cereal bowl caddies of my childhood) and Kate made breakfast themed finger puppets. In return we got to eat a delicious Saturday breakfast followed by their famous Sunday brunch. If you haven’t already been to The Tallest Poppy, I highly recommend it.
