This sounds like a neat get-together. Even though I am not officially a "designer" (and if I wasn't out of town at the time) I think I would check it out just to meet some neat people in the industry. If you do make it to this event, how about writing a guest post for My Word, telling us what it was like? -- Douglas

KERNSPIRACY: A Place for Designers to Share Secrets

Halfway through another steamy summer and we're headed back to Barbara's for cold drinks and copious design geekery. We're on the second Wednesday this month since we didn't want Independence Day harshing our mellow. See you there, and we hope you're prepared to opine on the virtures of CS3 and/or show off your new iPhone.

KERNSPIRACY is a community building and peer support project for designers and creative professionals. Los Angeles is a tough place to be a designer, and it's often easy to feel like you're out there all on your own. KERNSPIRACY is intended to address this issue by creating forums for people to ask for advice, feedback and support from their creative peers.

KERNSPIRACY hosts bi-monthly get togethers where designers and other creatives can come out to meet one another and trade ideas and critiques. If you're a designer, please come and bring a question, a design you'd like some feedback on or just a business card. If you know a designer, please invite them to do the same. At the very least, we can all have drinks together and complain about Quark.

In addition, KERNSPIRACY manages a corresponding e-mail discussion list to allow folks to interact between events and to facilitate faster response times for more pressing concerns. The list info page can be found at http://kernspiracy.com. You can also subscribe by sending an e-mail to kernspiracy-request {at} tokyofarm {dot} com with "subscribe" (no quotes) in the subject or body.
