Open House VI Showdown

To celebrate our sixth shot at leaving a mark on our town, we held a Showdown at our office for our annual open house. Guests dined on pulled pork and cow pies, drank Kentucky Bourbon poured by an authentic, mustachioed bartender and took home hand-stamped, burlap sacks filled with the coolest goods this side of the Mississippi.

Watch the illustrated animation here.

Showdown at 427: You’re Invited

427design — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 20:19:56 +0000

It’s that time of year again — time for our annual open house, that is. This year our theme is “Showdown at 427″ and you’re all invited! If you haven’t been to one of our five previous events, you can catch up on years one, two, three, four and five before you experience no. 6 on April 27th (4/27, GET IT? HUH?). Of course if you’ve been here before that’s no excuse not to attend, and if you’d like to RSVP you can do so by clicking this here link.

We’re already in full-prep mode, screen printing posters, pressing buttons and collecting taxidermy. We even had a custom branding iron made, but you’ll have to wait until 4/27 to see how it gets used.

So put on your boots, saddle your horse and hit the trails (er, Route 8 would be fine too) — we hope to see you there!
