Celeste and I made it to the Drawn Here (& There) lecture last night at The Walker Arts Center to catch a presentation from superduo Non-Format.

We found out that one of the two partners, Jon Forss, had moved to St Paul from their London HQ, just a year before we moved to MPLS. The motivational impact the Non Format mystique generated was enough to keep anyone inspired, but to find out they had an office in proximity to your own was pretty great. Aside from that and some familiarity with their work, we didn’t really know a ton about them or their operating procedure. Needless to say, we both thought it was a great lecture and helped solidify some of the ulterior motives we’ve both been scheming on lately.

We also bumped into a slew of our internet homies in the flesh. Always great to meet up and slap fives. Joy.
