Our Father Who Art In Portland

This past Wednesday, a group of 160over90 believers donned their Sunday best and hoofed it to First Unitarian Church to receive Communion free pretzels and hear Aaron Draplin preach the good word.
With 150 rapt designerds filling the pews, the bearded reverend delivered one hell of a sermon. Topics included: his life story, that one f*cking video, design tall tales, stuff he loves (including sweatpants and America), and stuff he hates (Kid Rock).
The moral of the story: make rad stuff for people you love, and everything else will fall into place.
Amen.
Amen is right! His talk was inspiring and filled my head with the can-do attitude as I mulled over his talk on my hour+ drive back to Reading.
Loved his stories, love his work, and he just seems like a general good guy. So glad we were able to bring him to Philly through Kickstarter!
Aaron is such an awesome speaker, for real. He makes it seem like he’s just having a good time but he seriously changed my life when he said “just make stuff, lots of it.”
Great moral to live by. It sums up what I want to do with my career pretty well.
