Cut&Paste 2009 Global Championship
2009 GLOBAL CHAMPIONSHIP EVENT
This year’s Cut&Paste Digital Design Tournament has made its way through 16 cities and 256 competitors from February – June 2009.
It now culminates in a battle of the best, champions vs. champions, with the final 2009 tournament event: the first-ever Cut&Paste Global Championship.
Showcasing the talents of 48 competition winners in 2D, 3D, and motion design, from the North America, Europe, and Asia/Pacific regions , the championship event will take place at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City on Friday, October 16, 2009.
The Global Championship will present the same three competition formats that Digital Design Tournament 2009 has featured throughout the cities on its global tour: 2D, 3D, and motion design. The Global Championship will be putting sixteen competitors onstage for all three competitions. These competitors, forty-eight in all, represent the winning designers from every city on the 2009 Cut&Paste tour. Arriving with at least one successful competition under their belts, the city champions will take the stage again to quickly create designs against the ticking pressure of the clock and under the watchful eyes of the crowd. And this time, the pride of their countries and hometowns, along with their personal reputations, will be on the line.

The Global Championships for the C&P Design Tournament Update.
I’m sorry I did not update my blog on all the happenings that happened with this event. The event was initially slated for June 20th. It got postponed due to fears of the global competitors not being able to get their visas on time. I am pleased to announce that the Global Championships will be held next Friday, October 16th at the Hammerstein Ballroom, 311 W. 34th St. in the Hell’s Kitchen section of Manhattan. 48 competitors from 16 cities around the globe will battle for design supremacy. These include our New York competitors for 2D(Miguel Hernandez), 3D(Neil Benjamin), and motion design(Jake Guttormsson). There will also be DJ Cosmo Baker to set the mood for competition right. Everybody, come on down (provided you’re over 21) to the Hammerstein Ballroom and come to the event.
Disclaimer – I do not work for Cut&Paste, I am just promoting it because I support these people and all the blood, sweat, and tears they put into putting these events on. These events are extremely entertaining.
The Cut&Paste 2009 Global Championships are Coming…
Hello readers, just a reminder that the Cut&Paste Global Championships are coming toNYC on June 20th, 2009. This is the sequel to the event that I posted about back in the latter part of March. In my opinion, this is the best show I’ve seen this year so far. I can’t wait to see what the champions from the other cities have in store for the grand finale. I’m definitely showing my support for the New York Champs. Maybe I will be impressed by the other champs. We’ll just have to wait and see.
This event is being held at the Hammerstein Ballroom at the Manhattan Center, 311 West 34th St. in Hells Kitchen, Manhattan. The time of the event is 6 PM-10:30 PM(11 PM?) with doors opening at 5 PM. For more information about Cut&Paste, visit www.cutandpaste.com.
Some Good News for today!
There was a pachinko game in Yankee Stadium today. The term “pachinko game” applies to a insurmountable comeback coined by NBC 4 placing in pachinko sounds to a 51-point loss by the Knicks to the Celtics in the 2007-2008 season. The point, I am the Anti-Sterling and I have a thirst for Yankee losses. The result of this pachinko game? Ballgame over, Yankees lose, the Yankees lose the home opener by 8 runs to the Cleveland Indians! Go Indians, be the first team to play and prove you’re better than the Yankees in the new Yankee Stadium!

Religion, science, and 9/11 combine for a pretty decent play.

Special Report: Reality Show Immunity Rules That Should Be In Place
Due to the Events of tonight’s Hell’s Kitchen, there is some good news and bad news. First, the bad news. There will be no weekend review for last weekend. The good news is, my trip last weekend was a lacrosse game at Hofstra University, so there was really no way to review it. The real reason for writing this is after the jump…
