Before we get into things here, let’s lay some ground work. A little backstory, if you will.
1) TBG has recently moved to a brand new NY Office, nestled in lush TriBeCa. It is a very nice office.
2) It has recently been hellishly hot in NY. Blah blah record highs blah blah. I’m surprised Con Ed made it through the summer.
3) We finally had some nice weather that didn’t make you want to throw up as soon as you went outside.
Taking all of these things into account, The clear next step was to throw a party on our awesome new roof deck. Oh did I mention that? yeah I guess that is important. I suck at blogging…
The NYC office has Formal Friday. Boston has Grill Friday. As of today, the SF office now has FUCK YEA FRIDAY!!! It’s a pretty high concept thing: end the week with high fives, high class clothes, booze, delish food, loud music, chest bumps and true love. Basically ending the week with an exclamation point! ETERNAL RADNESS!!!
Two of our interns Alex Kaminsky and Frank LeClair were kind enough to get some beers for the office, imagine that! It also happens that I kinda did a formal friday thing today. Thanks guys!!!
Kevin Chan is off dashing through the snow somewhere in Canadialand and we here at The Barbarian Group NYC miss him terribly. Nemo, our fantastic intern, was truly carrying the formal( and patriotic!!! USA!) torch in Kevin’s absence. Way to be an inspiration to us all! In addition to looking fly we decided to feature just a fraction of our holiday liquor selection. Yum! Yum! Per usual, hand sanitizer was there to keep thing bacteria-free. Have a fabulous and formal Friday!
So as many now know, Creativity Magazine named The Barbarian Group “Digital Company of the Year”. This is pretty amazing news and obviously we were all super psyched, so we did what Barbarians do best—we celebrated! (with beer and photos of course). Here, in order of arrival, are the lovely celebration pictures that started flooding our inboxes from all offices…
Just now I was trying to unleash some fine brown liquor from its foul prison of a bottle. But there was a problem. It seems this brown liquor is so fine that it comes with some waxed seal business over the cork, which makes for difficult opening.

Any time I have difficulty with something, I reach out to the IT department for help – like when I broke Hotbot. In this case I bothered Mr. IT Manager
