not just another night downtown

Have you ever felt oh say stuck in a rut downtown, you find yourself just going through the motions.
Bar, restaurant, lounge.
repeat.
Then something happens that just wakes you right out of that zombie like state you been living in for weeks.
Last night was like that, a cool breeze of fresh air blowing into a stale hot room.

The employees were inspired by Anne Wainscott a designer they met, an illustrator for Shillito's and the Enquirer for half a century who they decided to honor with a fabulous party in the Shillito offices.
With Anne, a slight 93yr old woman, holding court we wandered around taking it all in, from a display of the history of Shillito to some of her illustrations and new works produced by Landor employees.

  3. Zac,
    Cincy Good: for everything with a crazy entry fee, theres something just as re-donk for free!
    You just have to dig for it. (not YOU but people)
    This party for example only required an RSVP.

  8. Thank you for posting the pictures of my dear friend Annie. She loved the event and meeting all of the people. I am so glad that you got the two of us on the dance floor! Not bad for 93 years old. Thank you, thank you!!! Michelle
