ELSEWARES

Weird Al Yankovic has a posse, and apparently Donny Osmond is in it.

This is the video for White & Nerdy (from Weird Al’s new album). It’s awesome.

It’s happening again! The Brooklyn Design Group is gathering en masse to network, share ideas and inspiration, and enjoy the soothing effects of alcohol.

We’re meeting at Union Pool in Williamsburg again, but this time:

• Union Pool is giving us the theater in the back (where bands usually play).
• Brooklyn designer Adam Frank will hook up a projector and school us on how he took Lumen from an idea to a product, and from a product to a business.
• The line at the bar will include some special guests - the tentative list includes Grace Bonney of design*sponge, Seth Walter of Cog & Pearl, Rena Tom of Rare Device, among others.

So please RSVP at meetup.com right now - and then tell a friend to meet you there. This will be fun.

Wednesday, Oct 4 @ 7pm
