fight club



So i left my recluse this past weekend to rediscover the chicago design scene.  In general, the scene is pretentious, the guys are shallow and metrosexual, and the banter is mind-numbingly rehearsed.  However, there is always free booze.

The event was the 10th anniversary of teams design in chicago, and also coincided with one of their fight club events.  This was actually the first time i attended fight club, and i have to admit, i was entertained.  Maybe it was all the beer, maybe it was the charm of the warehouse.....maybe it was the overwhelming testosterone....(no so many design girls, surprisingly...)  It was definetly ammusing to watch designers screaming at each other, with out really making any valid points.....more just screaming for the sake of screaming.  The topic was "star designers" and seemed to run in circles, only being interjected by the one guy who kept jumping in and talking about the stars and the universe.  seriously?

Regardless, who doesnt like being in a warehouse, drinking beer, 
watching grown men scream at each other about topics they could care less about?  Its like afternoon judge shows, only live!



Thank you Paul Hatch......I am totally a fan!
