Santa Monica pier is a centenarian today. I have lots of fun childhood memories from the Santa Monica pier, eating fried clams and playing ring toss games. To celebrate the centennial, there will be festivities all day, capped off with a fireworks display.

The pier features the world’s first solar-powered ferris wheel, lifting riders over 130 feet above the ocean! They just ended their Twilight Dance series of Thursday night concerts but it’s a good spot to visit any time of the year.

Outfest on Digital Billboards in LA
I want to remind you that Outfest, the oldest continuous film festival in Los Angeles, kicks off this week. Dustin W Design has been an official sponsor of Outfest for the last eight years, contributing work for the festival website. This year we identified Outfest as our primary cause-oriented organization to support, for our mission of supporting “conscious design.” (Conscious design is a core initiative for Dustin W Design.) For 2009, we stepped up our game and donated an entire brand package to Outfest. This includes Key Art, Website, Billboards, Animation at Hollywood & Highland and the Trailer/Stinger that will screen before every show! I urge you to show your support for Outfest and check out as many of their films as you can. Outfest is also one of my personal favorite causes. I would especially encourage you to see a screening at the Ford Amphitheater — it was the inspiration for this year’s artwork. Check out the site for film schedules, etc. at http://outfest.org/fest2009 . I’ll be in town for the entire fest, July 9th through 19th., so hope to see you all at a screening!
