3rd Annual Creativity Now Conference
(05 October 2005) - Billed as the "definitive yearbook of popular culture for 2005," Tokion's 3rd annual Creativity Now Conference, brings together today's brightest like Antony (of Antony & the Johnsons), some of the more obscure, such as filmmaker Todd Haynes, and, on the design side, multimedia artist Julie Verhoeven. The progressive summit takes place this October 15th and 16th at Cooper Union's Great Hall in NYC. Panels...
The Bicycle Film Festival
(03 October 2005) - New environmentalism (the kind that feels as good as it looks) shares a lot with the urban bike culture movement. A major catalyst in bringing different riders together over the last several years has been The Bicycle Film Festival. Guided by what is perhaps the most offbeat curatorial premise of the many festivals out there, the 5th Annual event opens in San Francisco this...
Tattoo Culture
(30 September 2005) - There are at least four tattoo shops within spitting distance in central Williamsburg. After hearing rumors about one opening a couple doors down from Oslo (my favorite local coffee spot), I noticed someone in the space on the walk to get a morning cup. I went in, introduced myself, told him about Needled and he said, "Oh, Marisa," referring to Needled's editor, "I'll be...
London Design Festival 2005
(22 September 2005) - London's always calling, but right now, with the 3rd annual London Design Festival running through September 30th, the siren song is a little louder. Exhibitions, cafes, and events take over the city and, curiously, most of what caught our eye happens on the East end, like Geoff McFetridge's premiere show in the UK at Kemistry Gallery (runs through October 5th), a Rococo installation of...
Giant Drag
(16 September 2005) - The unofficial inaugural CMJ prom was held last night in NYC and featured LA-based Giant Drag rolling with the punches on stage. In spite of bouncers mysteriously removing their monitors midway through their set, fierce lead singer Annie Hardy kept up her dry jokes in between strumming and singing her way through indie pop-meets-shoegaze songs. Micah Calabrese, held it down with her, deftly drumming...
Bread & Butter Berlin
(12 July 2005) - More than your average ADD-inducing tradeshow, Bread & Butter, is an event bringing together denim makers, sports and street wear, intersections of art and fashion, and other cutting-edge fashion designers for three days in Berlin. On the heels of the successful Barcelona installment, the show runs July 22nd-24th and promises a full agenda of exhibits, music, artists, magazines, stores, and websites under the roof...
Nextfest
(27 June 2005) - I too made it to Nextfest, Wired Magazine's showcase of all things futuristic. Interestingly, the press day was also the education day so it was a great chance to see how kids responded to all the exhibits. It was no surprise that they found all things glowing and blinking to be most interesting. The big differentiator for today's youth is the expectation for interactivity--...
LA Three Way
(14 June 2005) - The dream of convergence is alive and well and living in LA. This Saturday, 18 June, a hot team of sponsors brings you The Party "PC, TV, MOBILE love."

Atlantic Avenue Artwalk
(02 June 2005) - Artwalks are usually small town affairs, but bring the concept to Brooklyn's thriving "Bococa" (Boreum Hill, Cobble Hill, and Carroll Gardens) and you get over 85 artists, open studios, gallery and store exhibitions, three different public murals, and more. This weekend, June 4th and 5th, from 1-6pm, the 2nd annual Artwalk 2005 will take place on and around Atlantic Avenue. Participants include graf artist...

E3 Feature

You learned all about the new consoles and titles and seen pictures and press releases. Carol T Chung was there looking for a few gems and just posted this feature report. ...
The Electronic Entertainment Expo
(24 May 2005) - The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) is a bit like the louder flashier sister to the Game Developers Conference. It's an opportunity to check out new titles and display new hardware. It's also an opportunity for top executives in the industry to get together, make deals, and woo distributors. Navigating through the Expo floor put me through sensory overload as I was herded with many...

Aichi Expo
(29 March 2005) - Times Online has a wonderful article about the Aichi Expo in Japan... Wondering what it would be like to star in a film before you see it? You can go to see a special animated film at the expo, and you will be asked if you'd like to take part in the show on your way in--just by placing your face into a hole...
Got Crabs?
(28 March 2005) - The International Home & Housewares Show hit Chicago’s McCormick Place last week (admittedly not as cool as Carol's trip to the gaming convention in San Francisco, but I digress). After trekking miles through the three buildings (without a Sherpa, I might add) filled with things for your kitchen, bathroom, garden, backyard, pets and more, I found a handful or so great gadgets that really...
PSP Launch Party in NYC
(22 March 2005) - It's rumored that Thursday's US drop of the Sony Play Stations Portable will be over 1 million units. For those of you in NYC who want to celebrate and even better, get a PSP hours before the rest, there's a launch event at the Sony Style store tomorrow night. Carson Daly will be hosting and Danger Mouse will be spinning, and the first 500...
GDC: Platform Keynote Speakers
(14 March 2005) - J. Allard's (Microsoft) keynote speech, The Future of Games: Unlocking the Opportunity (on Wednesday) and Satoru Iwata's (Nintendo) Heart of a Gamer (on Thursday) both discussed the next generation in platform gaming. Allard's speech was more technical than that of Satoru because he was speaking to developers specifically about the new Microsoft developer tools (XNA) and how these will aid in the upcoming HD...
GDC: Tuesday Mobile Summary
(09 March 2005) - On Tuesday, I spent most of my time running about the GDC Mobile Game circusóI mean circuit *wink*... I went to most of the morning discussions which were about the future of the industry as well as some business ones in the afternoon and closing discussions towards the end. Needless to say, I'm just a tad fatigued. But who really cares anyway, I'm here...

(24 February 2005) - In May the International Contemporary Furniture Fair will come to New York.
