FRIDAY JANUARY 23, 2009
The (Com)Plot Thickens

Since word got out that Bread & Butter will be abandoning Barcelona, the questions have been plenty: will it be for good? Will one of the two annual editions stay? And, more importantly, will Custo still throw parties?

Me, I'm mostly concerned about where I'm now supposed to get all those lovely promotional totes that all the stands dump on you. For the past four years, I've had my beach, shopping and (sorry, but not all brands are created equal) trash bag needs pretty much covered. But whatever your concern, it's clearly time to get creative - rough times lie ahead.

Few better places to go, then, than Complot, the much lauded school 'for creatives by creatives'. It's the brain child of Argentinean imports Dan Peisajovich and Yvonne Gindre, and has been honing people's bullsh*t creative skills since 2005 (coincidentally when B&B first landed in Barcelona - coincidence?).

Their courses are primarily targeted at those hoping to break into the advertising industry, but their free bi-weekly Friday talks are still remarkably interesting even if you hold respectable jobs. Tonight, for example, Rafa Soto kicks off the 2009 series with 'The Sex Pistols Will Save Advertising'. No bread or butter, perhaps, but food for thought nonetheless.
