Most Rewarding Work Moment - Watching 1,000 punters going ape to the Strokes playing in front of the dinosaur at the National History Museum. A gig we designed, that had to be built, rigged and sound checked in just over 2 hours!
Most Worrying Work Moment - The 50m long wall planner at the World Cup Fan Park, the biggest bit of print we had ever created (and one that needed to get updated daily with a cherry picker!), watching it go up was a bit nerve racking to say the least
Most Satisfying End Result - Always a nice feeling when things turned out pretty much exactly as you'd intended, the bar at the T-Mobile Street Ice rink was as close to our initial visuals as anything we've ever done.
Best Meal - Cal Pep, a simple tapas bar in the old town of Barcelona. Seated at the counter we ate dish after dish of extraordinarily fresh, simple food. All ordered in the traditional "point at someone else's plate" style of the food tourist
Best Album: Neil Diamond - 13 Songs
The soundtrack to our formative months, working in the spare room, before we got a proper office and stuff
Best Single: Hot Chip - Over and Over
Proper dance music, played by geeky looking individuals who stand in a line and punch the air with joy - just as electronic music should be
Best Compilation: Danny Rampling - Break for Love
18 years of musical bliss on three CDs, never the greatest mixer (in my humble opinion) but boy could he select a tune or two
Trainer of the year
Can't speak for the other members of team Flourish, but I'm loving my new Air Stabs, designed by Hitomi Yokoyama for Nike and not quite as garish on the foot as they are in the picture
