LiveDesign: "Hard to believe it was over a month ago that I attended the cocktail party for the 2008 Lumen Awards at Chelsea Piers in NYC. The Lumens are the annual awards given by The Illuminating Engineering Society, New York City Section, to honor outstanding architectural lighting projects. The party is quite festive, overlooking the Hudson River, and the cocktails are followed by a gala dinner and After Glow party, which was lit by Marsha Stern this year, with a rig that included a Hippotizer media server, so it was nice running into Marsha, and “Chippa” and Scott Vontobel from TMB, as well as old friends from the architectural lighting arena such as Paul Gregory, Christen Methot, Sepp Spenlinhauer, etc….oddly the press was only invited to the cocktail party so I didn’t actually get to see the awards presented, but they went to a wide variety of projects, with a full list available at www.iesny.org/Lumen.aspx."
