Counting down to Semi-Permanent…
Thanks to Special Group last week we got a small but tantalising taste of what to look forward to this year at Semi-Permanent. SP 2012 is being held at The EDGE on May 18th & 19th, and will be bigger and better than ever with 16 speakers lined up from all over the globe. The workshop series featuring Industrial Light & Magic, Wallpaper Magazine, and Hi-Res! looks particularly rewarding, and is free to attend for all proud owners of Semi-Permanent tickets.
Read more about the line up on the Semi-Permanent website.
We’re about to add some names to that doorlist - we have winners to announce chosen from those who tweeted their CMakl#6 nametags last week.
Drum roll please….
Winning a single pass to Semi-Permanent 2012 is @ri, @adiwick, @annafisher101 and @ellamizrahi
And the winners of the SP 2011 books are @Fi_kerr and @icecreams2001

We had some unexpected ‘technical difficulties’ at the CreativeMornings/Auckland event with Cut Collective, so instead you’ll get to take a sneak-peek inside their awesome studio as well as listen to them walk you through the Splore - Portavilion Project 2012. Discussing the ins, outs and issues of their collaborative approach, how they managed the dialogue and communication around the project and the extensive logistics required, through to the final execution and documentation.
CreativeMornings/Auckland with Special Group

Ross Liew and Jaime Robertson were the dynamic duo that represented Cut Collective at the March 2012 CreativeMornings/Auckland.
With the ‘underground movement’ for CreativeMornings continuing to grow we decided to extend the ticket limit from 50 back up to 100. Spaces were still snapped up within 24hrs so register quickly next time! And be sure to get notified when they go live… Sign up here »
Thanks once again to our generous hosts, Alleluya Cafe and wonderful sponsors, K-Road Business Association, Vibracorp, 90seconds TV, The Big Idea, the team at CreativeMornings/Auckland and of course to everyone who woke up extra early and made it along to the event.

What’s a CreativeMorning without a good cuppa joe to go with it? In 2012, we’re stoked to have Coffee Supreme come onboard and serve up quality coffee to help you jump start and get your creative juices flowing prior to the breakfast lecture series.
Thank you Coffee Supreme!
We like to think that most creative thinking happens with a mug of coffee at your side. So when given the opportunity to support CreativeMornings in Auckland, it made sense for us to shout everyone a cup of coffee in the morning. It’s also a chance for us to showcase what we do, and what’s important to us - our links with the people we buy coffee from, the various methods of making coffee, and most importantly, share the coffees we source from around the world.
So for all your coffee fiends out there… Every now and then, we’ll be featuring premium coffees from around the world courtesy of the guys at Coffee Supreme!
Featured Coffee
Carlos Imbachi, the latest addition to our Rare & Interesting selection. Flavours of raspberry, melon, and milk chocolate are pulled together with a thick and creamy texture, finished off with notes reminiscent of a sweet apple. This is just the start of an exciting new range of coffees we will be offering in 2012.
Background: Mr Carlos Imbachi personally manages his farm, making sure that his pickers select only the ripest cherries. Notably, he uses his own micro-mill to de-pulp and ferment his coffee. For the past 4 years, Mr Imbachi has partnered with Virmax Cafe (a leading exporter of speciality Colombian coffee), to produce some of the best examples of Colombian coffee available today. In 2010, coffee from Mr Imbachi’s farm, Finca Buena Vista, claimed the highest score out of 130 coffees from 22 countries in the SCAA Roaster’s Guild Coffees Of The Year Competition.

speaking at CreativeMornings/Aukland (*watch the talk)
And yesterday, Askew One (Elliot O’Donnell) did just that with the opening night of his Smoke Signals solo exhibition.
Back in November 2011, Elliot spoke at CreativeMornings Auckland about the trials and tribulations of being a multi-disciplinary artist, getting into a gallery and having his work exhibited. Smoke Signals is testament to this very quote… And a must-see! Be sure to head on down and check it out:
