Pat fait dire que c’est le t-shirt qui est serré…

But mainly: he’s our new hero!

• Somehow this song comes to my mind…

  I’m too sexy for my love too sexy for my love
  Love’s going to leave me.
  I’m too sexy for my shirt too sexy for my shirt
  So sexy it hurts.
  And I’m too sexy for Milan too sexy for Milan
  New York and Japan.

Big Up to 2 Webby Nominations!

Oh, how we dance with joy…. 2 Bluesponge projects have been nominated for the 12th annual Webbys (the “Oscars of the Internet”) this week!

www.closetoparadise.com, the much hyped but so far mysterious demo project produced in collaboration with Opak Media and from a concept by much loved Montreal musician Patrick Watson and Dylan Young, with direction by Yako and Varial. This site is an enchanting musical exploration well worth taking to the next stage of funding, so we’d really appreciate your support in votes. See Close to Paradise and Bluesponge Facebook groups for more details. As the site is a demo, you can see outtakes here: http://www.closetoparadise.com/steps/

www.sorryoutofgas.org, an inspiring microsite done in collaboration with Montreal’s very own Canadian Center for Architecture (CCA), showcasing their exhibition and issues around architecture’s response to the 1973 oil crisis. An experiential site was created that not only complements the exhibit and serves as an educational tool for children, but also renders the content accessible to a broad audience. Part of the site was dedicated to the drawings of Harriet Russell, thus honoring her style. 

As one of only five international nominees in each category, the site is up for the Internet industry’s two most hyped awards: The Webby Award and The Webby People’s Voice Award. This year the awards received nearly 10,000 entries from over 60 countries.

Pretty please help us win the People’s Voice Award by voting between now and 1 May at http://pv.webbyawards.com.

Look for “Close to Paradise” in Online Film & Video – Experimental category and “Sorry, Out of Gas” in the category of Website: Cultural Institution. 

To avoid double counting you’ll need to register, but it only takes a few seconds, and it’s worth it to have your say (and help us out!). 

We love you!

Bluesponge

• Love it! But now I can’t get out of my head this whistle song that marines sing after getting laid in Spring… So Fassbinder of you! Very well done. Pat, the red scarf is a keeper!
