Glocally Newark Launch Party

Glocally Newark: The Launch

The Glocally Newark Launch party was just about the only place on the planet cool enough to have — in one space — live music, live blogging, mini Colt 45 bottles and a fort.

Yeah, a fort. It was a blow-up tent with ‘60s style cushions and psychedelic visuals projected onto the walls. Glocally Newark is the best new resource on the Web for arts and cultural information about Newark, written by Newark bloggers who live it every day. We were psyched to be involved in just about every aspect of the party, from designing the concept, laying out the space, doing the graphic design, invitation design, recruiting sponsors and more. And we also participated heavily in enjoying the party (which included a performance by up-and-comer Hal Linton). Check the photostream.

We love Glocally and can’t wait to get more involved in future projects. If it’s cool and happening in Newark, they’ll be there. And will possibly build a fort.
