What to do in 2008?- 12.25.07

notcot2008.jpg008 is upon us (nearly!), and i’m excited to say farewell to 007, particularly since this year was spent fairly grounded in california (bouncing between norcal and socal), with a few tiny quick excursions. I’m hoping to make 2008 a more normal jetsettery/nomadic year, and could really use some help! I’ve been trying to compile a list of major design events, and things to possibly try to make my way out to… as well as just general places to see, etc.

SO, take a look at the list below ~ help by suggesting more to add to it, or if you’re interested in sponsoring a trip in some way to make sure we cover it, let’s chat! I’m already playing with the idea of having our main NOTCOT homebases for 008 by LA and Paris, but details are in the works… *fingers crossed* ~ what do YOU want to see happening here in 008?

I think you should definitely come down to Atlanta during one of the merchandise shows in January or July at the Amerimart Merchandise markets downtown. Usually there are some really great design showcases then.

You’re missing out on the entire Southern Hemisphere! I thoroughly recommend taking a trip to Aus or New Zealand for Semi-Permanent. Sydney event is April 4th and 5th. http://www.semipermanent.com/

Rome is amazing…

and I can’t believe that Valencia, Spain is not on that list…

----- Chris 29.12.07 16:52

I second Buenos Aires! Having been there many times due to having family down there, and being a graphic designer in nyc, the design scene is very advanced and on the move there. PLUS great food and, at least up until recently, very inexpensive. I think you’d like it.
