Good Luck Nick!

July 31st, 2010

DC gathered at 4:00 pm on Friday, July 30th, to give our friend Nick Knoblauch a true DC sendoff.  Nick is leaving DC to complete his architectural education at Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ.  We will definitely miss Nick’s enthusiasm, spirit, and very weird vocabulary.  Thanks to Nick we are now all familiar with “chillaxin”, “awesomeness”, “stoked”, and “BAZINGA!”.    Stay in touch, Nick, er I mean “Dude”.

Hate to Burst Your Balloon, Tim…

July 29th, 2010

Architect Tim Terman spent a well-deserved week off playing golf and enjoying the Florida weather with wife Amy and her parents.  Tim was welcomed back to his DC workspace on Monday morning with the sight of 700 balloons – in his workspace.  He looks happy in the picture below doesn’t he?  Tim quickly proved it takes a lot less time to burst 700 balloons than to fill them up.
