Second time (after 2007) for us being at FOTB in Brighton this year … and I just wanted to write a small roundup to let all of you who couldn’t be there in person know what you missed out on ;)

All in all it was great – again! Not so much about Flash and ActionScript but nonetheless there were definitely some speakers that totally blew my mind.

hi there …
just wanted to share our schedule for the next weeks to come.
so for all you flash- and design-lovers out there, here are the facts (not chronological).

Back from Brighton

Phil — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 19:02:32 +0000

We are back from Brighton …. and it really was a blast!
Despite the time of year the weather was great – especially after last year’s monsoon-like rains on the coast of Britain. We arrived in Brighton on Monday morning and went straight to the beautiful venue – the Brighton Dome. On the first day we attended some really interesting sessions:

Grant Skinner‘s / 50 reasons AS3 kicks ass
Scotsman Hoss Gifford amused us with his talk about “The tip of the iceberg”
The great Joshua Davis started his session rappin’ … WORD!

The first party was supposed to be in the seaside casino in Brighton – but after waiting for about 2 hours to get in (w/o drinks …) we decided it was time to check the local bars :)
The second day was as good as the first. Mentionable sessions were:

Craig Swann‘s “Perceptive Interactions + Alternative Interfaces”
Mario had fun dancing with his gloves during his “2D or not 2D that is the question” session
Robert Hodgin didn’t really talk about Flash but his (mainly) Processing topics were off-the-wall

Because we already saw Andre Michelle‘s “Klangfabrik” in Cologne the other day, we decided to stick with Neville Brody – a good choice, because he really showed some amazing works. The last session just blew our minds: Jared Tarbell had ace after ace up his sleeve.
Ooooh … i almost forgot to mention the “inspired sessions” from Erik Natzke and Brendan Dawes – they really were … inspiring :D We just laid back, had some beer and listened to them telling about their most recent masterpieces – thumbs up!

So, all in all we hope to get back to Brighton next year – and maybe next time we’ll even be able to play some roulette or poker ;)
