Big thanks to everyone who came out to Friday night’s New York Buying In event at the Art Directors Club. I was happy with the turnout, happy to see old friends, happy to make new ones.

I particularly want to thank PSFK for making it happen, and I hope Piers and Hedy won’t mind if I name-check them here. We had a lot of moving parts to this thing, and they executed perfectly. Awesome job, and my gratitude is deep and heartfelt. Being the center of attention gives me the straight-up willies, but this came off so nicely even I had a good time. Thank you.

I also want to thank Barking Irons, Andrew Andrew, Fast Company, Danielle Sacks, and F2 Design.

Inevitably, too many conversations were cut short, or simply never happened; my apologies to those I didn’t get to spend as much time chatting with as I would have liked.

Finally: I would like to thank the fine gentleman who loaned (well gave) me a pen.
