AHA! June 2008

AHA! It took us some time but finally we found a quiet rainy Sunday to sort out the photos of the creative gathering we organized (big thanks to Ray) back in June. Thanks everyone for joining it, we had a great time and were really happy to meet so many new creative people. Hope to see you and others next time (probably beginning of August). All the photos can be found on our flickr.

AHA!'s over

We just got in and it was fantastic. Thanks all for coming, we'll do it again soon. Enjoy your badges. You can find more pictures from the evening a little later, after a we get a little kip. Good night. AHA!

Get practising…

Paper will be provided. Fun starts at seven. AHA!

AHA! Tomorrow

AHA! Creative Gathering

Remember last year we had a creative gathering in London? It's time again to talk ideas! Come along, all you young creatives, senior creatives, planners, designers and everyone else working in our beloved idea industry. Share ideas, meet interesting people, enjoy drinks, make new friends and if you like – send on the invitation. Have a look what happened at AHA! June'07 and July'07. Tuesday, 17th of June 2008 in Commercial Tavern (upstairs) E16NU London. From 19.00 on. Hope to see you there!

What the heck?

Take seventeen, Action! Thursday we spent the day in the studio (ehm, home) filming vegetables. Who are these tomatoes? Does anyone have an idea of what we're up to? The first one to guess what stuff/scene we were filming there, will get a small prize at the next AHA!

Leave your tip as a comment.

AHA!?

Sorry for reporting back on this so late but the weather has been to good to be inside – right.

This AHA! was great, lots of people, different people, more people than last time, thanks everyone for coming around! Thanks to my dear friends from creativistan namely Reinhard, Christos, Sara and Oksana for organizing this together with me!

Besides mingling, chatting and drinking we tried this time to find the ultimate answer on how make life more meaningful. We asked everyone to tell us their secret wisdom of life on an AHA! fortune cookie paper. They did. While people were reflecting heavily about their contributions to what is now know as the 'AHA! way of life', sadly, someone nicked Charles' bag and Lauren's iPod. Have a look at the pieces of wisdom they sacrificed to write:

• 'It's all about the people' Renee
• 'Don't scream at a deaf person' Camilla
• 'The path is hard, but the butterflies are flying' Julien
• 'Star today what you've planned for tomorrow' Christos
• 'Stand on the steeple and piss on the people' A.J.
• 'Always try to remember peoples names, it's just polite, sadly I remember no ones!' Damien Knowles The Kiwi
• 'Going down every little helps' Juliana
• 'Don't get caught in the shower when a fire alarm goes off...' Ann
• 'You are going to have lot of sex, but no tonight!' Anonymous
• 'Don't shit where you sleep!' Agatha
• 'Your shoes will watch your shadow so polish them,
  otherwise you will lose your shadow.' Sara
• 'Arts Lunga – Vita Brevis. If you can't do the best why even bother with the rest?' Oksana
• 'A bird does not sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.' Ray
• 'Peace still works.' Nina
• 'The yellow snow is the tastiest. Don't listen to the rest.' Peter Brown
• ' A Jelly Baby walks into a bar – bar keeper says what's that smell?
  Jelly Baby says 'Oh Fucking all sorts!' Will
• 'To thine own self be true.' Lauren
• 'An idea is like a leaf that needs rescue from the wind' T.C. Jeeves Basu
• 'You can't always get what you want.' Charles
• 'Don't take yourself to serious! Seriously.' Marco Warstat
• 'Pigeon, oiseau à la grise robe, Dans l'enfer des villes, à ma vue tu te dérobes.
  Tu es vraiment le plus agile' Jann
• 'What if OK isn't OK? If this was true, no-one would ever be happy.
  Strive for everything, but there is value in being content' Ant
• 'The Picture has a moustache. It's how you perceive it.' Matt
• 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.' Tam
• 'A book tightly shut is nothing but a block of paper' Ray
• 'The path is long indeed, but the door at the end is not Blue.' Wal

Enlightened? We hope so. We can't wait for the next one! See flickr (or facebook) for more pictures. And come along to the one in august. AHA!

Wednesday, 18th of July 2007 in Commercial Tavern (upstairs) E16NU London. From 19.00 on. Looking forward to see your there!

Have a look at flickr for pictures from June's AHA!

Thanks a lot to Sara for the invitation design

AHA!?

Above, random notes from yesterday's AHA! – a meeting, full of Eurekas.

A whole lot of interesting people, mostly young London creatives, attended without knowing what it will be like. Neither did we. Frankly, not that many big ideas were born. Friendships were. Thanks everyone for coming. Hope to see everyone in July at the next AHA! Anyone has suggestions to improve this thing?
