If you've ever wanted to have a double-Dutch team at a party but worried that a bunch of people wearing ties and heels wouldn't jump, forget it. Design folk were pushing each other out of the way to hit the ropes at the Target party. And nothing goes better with jumping up and down repeatedly than a red apple-something-deadly served in red flashing martini glasses and a fry bar. A DIY fry bar, with chili, ketchup, cheese sauce, truffle mayo, chipotle mayo, blue cheese mayo (did I forget any of the mayos?). And candy, so much candy, I had a really hard time deciding what to stuff my pockets with so I stuffed them with red velvet cupcakes instead. We walked away with Crayola crayons, Cynthia Rowley jump ropes and "green" Target bags. Except they were red, of course. Do you see a theme?

This was a great party and an even better conference! I had several folks from my team attend and they all came away inspired...In fact, Chase Pitzer is the one wearing the inner-tube in the photo above (his inner child came at at "serious play").
The man in the intertube is non other than award-winning designer Chase Pitzer, from Tonic! Check out his work at www.thinkTONIC.com
