Did we mention that John Maeda is speaking at #IMPRINTPRESENTS next week?? Just kidding - we've been broadcasting it everywhere, including the banner currently at the top of this page.

Lullatone are Nagoya, Japan-based musical duo Shawn and Yoshimi. The band started as a lullaby project, and expanding into soundtracking the rainy seasons.

Right after last Friday's #IMPRINTPRESENTS talk with the very talented and endearing, not to mention, down-to-Earth Jeff Hamada, the Imprint team and our bigger sister interTrend family were all treated to a gourmet lunch at the brand new Gentaro Soba location in Downtown LA, in the brand new FIGat7th development. I was not blessed with...
