It’s that time of year again. The birds are chirping. The flowers are blooming. And the students are not sleeping. Yes, it’s the annual Spring Show at the Academy of Art University, where students from architecture to animation proudly display the brilliant work that only the finest sleep deprivation can provide. And I’m back in San Francisco with a repeat performance of the popular live-blogging, student-interviewing, photo-snapping, social-mediating, ice cream-eating experience that covers it all: Spring Show with Gelatobaby.
This year’s Spring Show kicks off Thursday, May 27 at 11am PST. From then until the wee hours of 7pm I’ll be posting highlights to Flickr, YouTube, and Twitter, all of which will be collected on this pretty little site here. You can peek at last year’s show to get a pretty good idea of how this will work.
I’m excited to announce that we also have a Very Special Event planned for 5-7pm. You’re all invited, but you’re going to have to stay tuned here or follow me at @gelatobaby to find out exactly how and where this specialness will occur.
Meanwhile, a group of people I like to call my “A Team” (but without the extra-prickly whiskers) is back in action and they are even more fabulous than before. We have superwomen-in-heels Pam Williams and Kim Rogala from Williams + House. The indefatigable Randy J. Hunt and his Citizen Scholar, without whom none of this (none of this) would be possible. We also have key support once again from the trio of awesome at the Academy’s school of graphic design: Mary Scott, Phil Hamlett and Hunter Wimmer (who designed the Spring Show’s identity). And a big thanks to Elisa Stephens and everyone at the Academy of Art University who brought us back again this year.
Right now I’ve got to go fire up my Flip cam and practice my Tweeting stance. We’ll see you back here Thursday!
