Last night I went to Cut & Paste in a hum­ble (my favorite) club in Shibuya, Womb.

Before going any fur­ther let me pref­ace this with the fact I did NOT bring my cam­era.  I did not think I would have got­ten in with it, only to get extremly “DOH!“ when so many peo­ple were run­ning around with DSLR’s.

Back to the topic! This event was a Design Com­pe­ti­tion, they had 2D artists (Pho­to­shop + Illus­tra­tor), 3D artists (Autodesk Maya), and Motion Graph­ics (I have no idea).  They had 5 pro­jec­tors (4 show­ing con­tes­tants screen, 1 show­ing info + live video), pro­ject­ing to ~85 in screens susspended in the air above the con­tes­tants; who each had a 21 in Cit­inq pen screen, and Mac Pro work­sta­tions!  There was also a DJ off to the side, Video cam­era man run­ning around, amus­ing Japan­ese MC, and many judges walk­ing around.  If this isn’t mak­ing your mouth water, your prob­a­bly not a designer,
