The NYC office has Formal Friday. Boston has Grill Friday. As of today, the SF office now has FUCK YEA FRIDAY!!! It’s a pretty high concept thing: end the week with high fives, high class clothes, booze, delish food, loud music, chest bumps and true love. Basically ending the week with an exclamation point! ETERNAL RADNESS!!!
Two of our interns Alex Kaminsky and Frank LeClair were kind enough to get some beers for the office, imagine that! It also happens that I kinda did a formal friday thing today. Thanks guys!!!
Kevin Chan is off dashing through the snow somewhere in Canadialand and we here at The Barbarian Group NYC miss him terribly. Nemo, our fantastic intern, was truly carrying the formal( and patriotic!!! USA!) torch in Kevin’s absence. Way to be an inspiration to us all! In addition to looking fly we decided to feature just a fraction of our holiday liquor selection. Yum! Yum! Per usual, hand sanitizer was there to keep thing bacteria-free. Have a fabulous and formal Friday!
So as many now know, Creativity Magazine named The Barbarian Group “Digital Company of the Year”. This is pretty amazing news and obviously we were all super psyched, so we did what Barbarians do best—we celebrated! (with beer and photos of course). Here, in order of arrival, are the lovely celebration pictures that started flooding our inboxes from all offices…
Just now I was trying to unleash some fine brown liquor from its foul prison of a bottle. But there was a problem. It seems this brown liquor is so fine that it comes with some waxed seal business over the cork, which makes for difficult opening.

Any time I have difficulty with something, I reach out to the IT department for help – like when I broke Hotbot. In this case I bothered Mr. IT Manager
Ian.
Good news everyone.
We drink a lot and sometimes that happens at bars. While at these bars, we often play a game called Photo Hunt. It’s a game in which drunkards try to find five differences in two (somewhat) identical photos while drinking and spending too much money. It looks like this:
Based on that bit of computer entertainment, we made this sweeeeeeet game. It’s for Photoshop Express and it’s called
Identifive.
Last night, we had an informal get together in the San Francisco Barbarian office. Pizza was eaten, beverages were enjoyed, and a lot of ridiculously cool work was shared.
