Dinner was on Rock Bottom tonight.

Yesterday, I was asked to participate in a focus group at Rock Bottom Cincinnati during lunchtime. It was pretty cool to be able to give feedback to help shape a great downtown spot going forward. For my participation, I received a $25 gift card and $25 cash. Not too shabby for an hour of my time. Tonight, we cashed in that $25 gift card for a delicious dinner. Genifer ordered the Brewer’s Cobb Salad…

And I ordered one of my favorites, RB Ale Chicken…

Really great stuff. Rock Bottom has always been one of our favorites. Their food is always delicious, always consistent, and we always have a really good time every time we visit. 🙂

OFFF Cincinnati.

OFFF is the annual festival celebrating the close relationship between contemporary art, creative thought and digital technology. OFFF has become a famous breeding ground for pioneering artists who are crossing genres and inventing the future of the creative process. Deskey was an OFFF Cincinnati partner again this year. And once again, I was lucky enough to get to go over to the Aronoff Center to check out OFFF Cincinnati 2015. Unfortunately, this morning I missed B-Reel, Lo Siento, Field and Moment Factory. But I still got to see most of the afternoon sessions. Deskey made a bunch of really cool OFFF buttons. But by the time I got to the Aronoff, there were only just a couple left…

And everyone in attendance received one of these incredible books authored by OFFF founder Hector Ayuso about the Spanish Postdigital Creation Culture…

I got to see the presentation by a visual communications studio called Mucho…

Really great work from Mucho! Next up was a presentation from Territory Studio, an independent, creative agency in London…

Territory created the main titles for OFFF Cincinnati 2015…

Here’s a better view where you can actually see the ridiculous amount of detail…

Territory did all the UI screen graphics for movies like Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron and Guardians of the Galaxy. Really cool stuff!

Last but not least was a presentation from Laika. Laika was the creative force behind computer generated, stop-motion and cel animated films such as Caroline, Paranorman and The Boxtrolls…
