Whew, it's been a while since I posted. I guess my life has been kinda boring lately. BUT it got interesting about 2 weeks ago when I got to go to Memphis for an AIGA design conference.
The conference was awesome! Met some cool people, heard awesome speakers, pseudo-stalked Stefan Sagmeister (but not in a crazy sort of way!), and had some really bad for you food. Didn't get to see as much live music as I would have liked, but it was a great trip overall!
Lunch at Dyer's on Beale Street the first day - definitely set the tone for the trip - grease, grease, and more grease. Supposedly, they've been using the same frying oil for about 100 years, and when they moved locations, they had the oil moved under the protection of security.

Awesome flaming Elvis
One of 3 Gibson factories in the country - we toured it.
First night out, which resulted in me being hungover the rest of the weekend.

Hands on fun with Hatch
A Memphis elementary school choir performing at the conference - they were amazing!
Waited about an hour to eat at this place! For lunch!
Ta-da! (It was pretty good.)

The ducks at Peabody Place - they live there and walk off the elevators into the fountain every day at 11am and then back out at 5pm.
Graceland!

Heh.
