who went this year? i did.. wot did everyone think? was it the same last year? better or worse... oh man, those ppl from This Is A Magazine had some tension between em (and no, i dont mean sexual lol) he kept talking over the top of her, and dismissing what she was saying all the time! it was so annoying to watch... but anyway, i loved it~ it was awsum to see so many young designers in one place, and i got hps outta it.. including the story of this site~ man those guys are funny. ;)

im suprised no-one had been talking about it already.. especially those who didnt know about newstoday prior to the semipermanent conference
- Allan00
yes i was expecting to read some stuff on it on DIK or here - but hey one of the things i realised from semipermanent is that the design community is pretty small..

hey allan, do u know what im talkin bout tho? in their presentation... or did u sleep in and miss that one. after all it was at like 12... hahaha
- Allan00
yeh I missed the first session - I only had tickets to the last two given to me thru me work experience, though sounds like I missed out.. I love tension!

i thought those two were gonna have a full-on argument, that would have been cool ;)
- Corianda0
lol yeh heaps cool ;p *not*
seriously tho, i coulda decked him! haha.. not really but it was really bugging me. especially coz half the stuff she was (trying) to say was actually relevant/interesting. it was just really hard to listen to what they were saying while i was annoyed. and allan, thats disturbing that u love tension ;p

they should have worked on that more, alot of people were talking about their "tense" presentation, i think he was to blame too.
- Allan00
I like comedic tension :) and that one doesnt sound funny at all
- XC010
nah, not funny, like being at a dinner party with the host couple arguing. pretty uncomfortable
- Corianda0
hahaha yeh thats the best description for what it was like! i felt so uncomfortable. jus like how one of the other guys was so nervous it makes it hard to listen.. u jus think about how nervous they are and feel sorry for them and feel uncomfortable for them. yeh i swear they musta had an argument beforehand or sumfin.. fully unprofessional to let it show though.. anyway, i thought he was a jerk. sorry if thats mean. he's probably a nice guy..? meh

since we are on the subject - I though the ampersand dude was boring.. maybe he was overty subtle and slow in comparison to the other presenters. And was it just me or did his arrogance annoy anyone?

oh no, Vince Frost was one of my favs actually.
i really admire his stuff.
he really knows his shit.
this is his uk company.
