Glug Brighton

Posted by Siobhan Harrison on Sat 14 Nov 2009

On Friday the 13th Agency Rush and Crush in partnership with Glug London , Made Studio and Studio Output organized Brighton's first Glug meetup.

The event was set up for designers, creatives, clients and friends, an alternative type of networking event, where you could have a few beers listen to some music, or listen to the Guest speakers in The Pit.

Guest speakers this time where Peter James Field, http://www.peterjamesfield.co.uk/
who talked about a book he's been working on recently, an illustration project based on numerical facts , from pop singers facts  to facts about historical characters one of which was Kings and Queen's reigns, the shortest of which, being Lady Jane Grey.

Colin at Cog App. Jason from CC Labs, Mr Bingo and Studio Tonne.

I caught Mr.Bingo's talk which was very entertaining, having acquired his name when winning cash on the Bingo as a student. I particularly liked his visual complaint which he had held up to a fellow studio mate whilst the studio mate was on the phone.
