Meet&Greet // Heydays

Before leaving Oslo i got the chance to meet & geek with some of the folks of design shop HEYDAYS.

These guys are all pretty young and gettingerdone [new word]. Fresh out of school they opened the studio [fuck a jobsearch] and seem to have no reason to look back. They've been getting some great clients and projects.

Here are a few:
....nice, indeed.
Thumbs Up all around, guys. All around.
Be sure to check out their entire portfolio H E R E.

Climb Every Mountain

I started the year off with my very first snowboarding AND skiing escapade. With warm balls of steel and the will of a patient Glenn & Kat - i was oooooff!!
....it took well over 2hrs to go down the slope my first time [via snowboard....the black trail] and then i switched to skis which got me up & down the slope a whole lot quicker in significantly less pain.

We snuck in a celebration.
....and ended the day at some buddies.
Hooray, i have another hobby.

Good Morning // Its 2009, duh.

The morning of Jan 1st 2009 was well greeted. We watched the international [and traditional] ski jumping game, washed down brown cheese with taquila shots [non-traditional], and got geared up for some cross-country skiing [my new tradition].
...which went really well. ha.
We then settled down at a frozen lake and built a fire [ yes, on the ice] for some hotdog eatin'.
After realizing that being numb in all the important places wasnt actually cool we jumped back into the ass-heated car and headed to Glenn's mum for sweets and giggles.

What's extra special is she handmade my lusekofte for me years ago and i finally got to meet [ hug ] and thank her for the wonderfulness.
Back home we slipped into the sauna Glenn & Kat built in their basement.
c'mon now.
