Last Friday was a day full of shenanigans at the Plexipixel studio. Friday marked the day for our 2009 Wrap-Up Report, but more importantly this was accompanied by our annual Christmas Sweater Contest and Albino Pachyderm Gift Extravaganza. These events are not taken lightly around the studio. You all remember the stiff competition from our Halloween Costume Contest.

This year the veterans at Plexipixel inadvertently decided on a slightly different format for the sweater contest, using it as a hazing stunt on for the newbies. Conveniently only the newest members to the team, Jake, Vics, and Justin, showed up wearing hideously ugly sweaters with Jamie who was just so nice join us. After lining up for the firing squad for some good natured teasing about ridiculously amazing Holiday attire, Matt started off the voting process.

Before we announce the winner, we should describe these sweaters. Each one brought its own unique flavor to the table: Jake’s sweater was a button-up with a popped color, the preppy; Vics sweater had many large bells accompanied by reindeer ears and bow; I had a child’s midriff sweater, a little creepy; and Jamie literally had an Xmas tree. In the end Jamie deservedly was the run-away winner for her attention to detail and ability to wear the most uncomfortable holiday sweater we’ve ever seen.

After the sweater contest we moved onto the much anticipated White Elephant Gift Exchange, which included a toilet seat, a hand-painted framed picture of Ponch (painted by our own Ian Ross), and some odor eating underwear. After a few hours of gift stealing and strategic positioning all the gifts were opened and the worst and best gifts were picked. Worst: poop shaped soap on a rope and odor-eating underwear; Best: Ponch. The best and the worst gifts were then switched… suckers!

Before Plexipixel, Matt and I met each other.  Where did we meet?  T’was the year 2000 at the Seattle Spring Scoot Scooter Rally.  Matt had a green and cream 1974 150 Super Vespa and I had a yellow 1974 150 Super Vespa.  The rest is history.

To commemorate the 2007 AmeriVespa National Scooter Rally, Matt has updated the scooter girl design he did in 2002 and has completed a new design for this year. 

The below are I-Phone wallpaper ready sizes of the t-shirt designs that will be sold at Amerivespa this weekend.  Toot Toot!
