Spin It, Little Guy! Aviva, Baby Loves Disco, Cori, Pike Market Preschool, spin art, The adventure bike

Last Friday, The Adventure School team threw a rockin’ impromptu, in-studio dance party. Almost everyone in attendance was under three feet tall and weighed less than 30 pounds.

The reason for the celebration? A visit from our adorable friends at The Pike Market Preschool. Aviva gets the award for child-handler extraordinaire and Cori for hottest toddler party DJ. (P.S. If you’re looking to get down on it with your baby loves, check out Baby Loves Disco. It’s new, it’s hot, it’s sweeping that nation.)

Those of you who have attended past The Adventure School events may be familiar with one of Cori and Aviva’s green innovations, the Adventure School Bike, which made an appearance at the Popcap Games Winter Party as a man-powered smoothie and milkshake maker.

The little ones created some fantastic pieces that would look right at home on the walls of the SAM, proving that spin art did NOT die after the 80′s ended.

I’m not promising anything, but Adventure Bike-powered spin art may show up at a future The Adventure School party near you. Get ready.

Business Time Business, Cori, Fast Company, Inspiration

At Ambach & Rice on Friday night, one of the interesting artist-types asked Cori, Aviva, and me an excellent question:

“So, what do you blog about?”

The answer is that we blog about a lot of things: green living/party planning, events we’ve attended and hosted, people we think are really, really great, causes worth supporting, issues worth discussing, and things that inspire us.

This post falls into the last category. Cori found the Fast Company site and thought their list of the 100 Most Creative People in Business was fantastic. Among the featured individuals are a Broadway lighting designer who uses low-impact LED lighting in his designs, the Director of User Experience at Intel who employs her anthropology degree to study how people live technology, and a cadre of notables including Melinda Gates (Seattle, represent!), Tyra Banks, and A.R. Rahman. These people are all doing vastly different things with their lives, but have something in common in that they are all doing it with flair and ingenuity. No doubt The Adventure School will make the list in no time.

If you have a few minutes, visit the site and click around. After all, there are 100 of them. Pretend it’s a Pokémon game. Gotta catch ‘em all!
