AIA Convention in LA...

citizen

I'm curious: will any Archinecters be attending? If so, which sessions are you interested in, if any?

I am volunteering at the World Party/Awards ceremony on Thursday evening. The benefits of that is free booze and a free pass to the exposition floor.

Archinect is co-sponsoring the 2x8:Swell exhibition which is happening during the convention at the very cool Gas Company Loft building near the convention center. It'll be kicking off with a big party/fundraiser on Saturday night, June 10th from 6-9, with DJ's and cocktails.

"The 2x8 is an annual exhibition sponsored by the AIA/LA, showcasing exemplary student work from architecture and design institutions throughout California."

Everyone should come and rock out!

I'm leading a tour. Would that be an inappropriate venue for the "sucks" t-shirt?

stupid 2x8...why did it have to be so literal? if it wasn't for the size restriction, i would've been in the exhibit with a project...oh well, maybe i'll support my classmates, only because of the free booze!

on the contrary: this is the ideal venue for the "Architecture Sucks."
And sans shirt, dont hesitate to DIY it with a sharpie marker and a white T-shirt.

it should be noted that, in spite of my own announcements regarding 2x8 party fashion, blogger Steven Purvis was the only archinector to show up to the 2x8 party in his Architecture Sucks apparel. Pearl Girl and I left the awards party pretty tipsy, so thank you Archinect for the wine.
Congrats kids that won prizes.

Were Mr. Petruna and Mr. Ayyuce "no-shows"?

I had an important out of town event to attend. Orhan documented the convention and we'll be publishing that later today.

Marlin, i was way too stiff for 2x8 party after the main events in the convention hall. i do feel guilty for not going. next time 'we' must better organize covering large items like this.
