M & C Saatchi took over Golden Square the other night for a birthday celebration where the champagne flowed and the limousines waited in the street. W+K also knows how to celebrate in style. We went out last night for an agency curry to commemorate our recent string of awards and, in particular the 2 black pencils and umpteen yellow pencils we got at D&AD for work on Honda and Nike. We tend not to set too much store by creative awards but, as these things go, D&AD is regarded as highly prestigious and the coveted BLACK PENCIL is rarely awarded to an advert. So to get two is worthy of a bit of a do.
Having just moved into our new offices down the road from Brick Lane, famed for its curry houses, it seemed only fitting that we should book a table for 50 (well, a few tables) at the noted Preem restaurant.
I think the food was pretty good but that was hardly the point. Many lagers were drunk, a few samosas were thrown at Tony Wallace’s head, Mick Bailey amazed us with his mastery of magic and Rebecca demonstrated that she could smoke a fag with her foot.
Many thanks to the staff at Preem for putting up with us and apologies to anyone else who was eating there last night.
Champagne? Limousines? Who needs ’em?
