12.06.09 - Opening Night....









Working right up until a deadline is something architects and students know only too well and it was no different today...

Vinyl lettering was applied to walls and the paintwork touched up as we went. The 3D television arrived and accepted the first showreels without too many problems. After some final re-arrangements of models and screens it looked like we were getting done. With a half hour remaining until the VIP party arrived, we were still trying to sort one of the projections which insisted on jumping when played through the DVD drive of our laptop. However, this was eventually solved. With a frantic final day under our belts we prepared for the opening evening...

Opening night seemed to go very well, with the room packed for most of the evening - most definitely aided by its proximity to a table full of free wine. A few high profile faces were in attendance - a director from Make was spotted alongside journalists from BD magazine and the AJ - and the awards ceremony went smoothly. After a good few gallons of faculty booze we headed off for a celebratory meal, eager to see how the show would be received over the next few days....
