An odd one this. W+K celebrated their 30th, Pentagram their 40th and D&AD their 50th. I was fortunate to go to all three parties. I say 'fortunate' genuinely, as the 21 year old me would have been insanely excited about going to any one of them.
They were all good, but I think the Pentagram one was the best. There was a good mix of people. I met some new people, I saw some old friends. The cocktails were good. A great deal of effort had gone into the catering. The venue was suitably adorned. Kenneth Grange gave a funny speech where he refered to 'absent friends looking down on us, and Alan looking up at us'.
A good night.
