The brilliant and wonderful crew over at SEWcreative.com and Werewolves and Silver Bullets Cinema are taking over the Labracadabra this Friday evening to present the film CRUDE.

So check it:
7:00 PM- Show up for some treats and refreshments.
8:00 PM- Movie starts.
9:30 PM – LIVE call with Carol Clark.

Carol Clark is the owner of Dauphin House Bed and Breakfast in Dauphin Island, Alabama. Her family and community has been drastically effected by the BP oil spill. She will join us for a call to tell us how it is on the front lines. Hopefully we can pool a little bit of $$$ together to her get through the summer tourist season she won’t have.

Check her out at dauphinhouse.com.

Werewolves and Silver Bullets is where our ideas become the modern day silver bullets!

A MOBILE CINEMA SERIES THAT HOPS FROM BACKYARD TO BACKYARD SHOWCASING THOUGHT PROVOKING FILMS THAT STIMULATE CONVERSATION AND PROMOTE COMMUNITY.

Once a month during the evening’s full moon we will screen a cause themed movie focusing on current global issues. Bringing common and uncommon conversations and people together under the light of night to create new ideas, and to build fresh stories and unite Orange County as a coalition of purpose.

So come check it out! Special thanks to SEWcreative, SeanWoolsey.com, and Labracadabra for making this all possible!

Rock ‘n’ Roll Chris.

Chris Ballard encompasses a level of class, work ethic and pure creative talent unlike any other. As a creative individual his projects have ranged from multi-media brand identities, world class paintings, conceptual sculpture pieces in various gallery shows, to incredibly well thought and innovative motion graphics. His work has taken him to Hong Kong, San Francisco and New York to present to some of the world’s leading branding and design firms.

On top of that Chris Ballard possesses a very thoughtful, inquisitive and insightful demeanor. His knowledge and understanding of design has no doubt been inspired by his world travels and beautifully written observations of the external world around him.

Our past projects and collaborations with Chris have proven great success. So when nation wide financial advisory firm Eureka Capital came to us looking for an evolutionary brand campaign and a world class website, we knew Art Director Chris Ballard would be that perfect ingredient in making Eureka’s website dynamic, effective and world class.

The future holds great things for Sir Christopher Ballard; we see him bringing pivotal growth to not only Command Mass and our amazing clients, but to the entire industry as a whole. We celebrate Chris’s capacity and potential, and look forward to the greatness ahead!

So welcome Chris! ♥ Command Mass.

Every Friday we take to the high seas on the Command Mass vessel ‘Manatee.’ This week we were privileged to have on board with us the wonderful videographer and photographer Jimmy Pham, who put together this magical video to capture our Friday afternoon. We have talked much about Jimmy, but remain stark raving mad for his ability to capture the moment through photography and video. We only see great things in store for the genius that is Jimmy Pham!

So take a look, gather your friends and come join us for a sail… ‘for summer’s lease hath all too short a stay!’

In an effort to decrease our carbon footprint over at Command Mass, we decided to go green with a couple new ‘alternative energy’ vehicles. With it being summer oh-ten and all, we invite you to invest in one as well!

Thanks Riviera for ‘rep-ing’ the space! Check it out

We wanted to give a special thanks to Stefanie Phan and the staff over at Riviera Magazine for giving us a shout out in the June 2010 issue of Riviera Orange County! Stefanie and her crew came by last month during one of our movie nights to shoot the place, meet our gang and spend an enjoyable evening with the great people who stopped by.

We look forward to future events, movie nights and meeting incredible people within our community! Thanks again Stefanie and Riviera!

Every friday we make a point to visit the Command Mass vessel ‘Manatee.’ She makes berth in beautiful downtown Long Beach and impatiently awaits our weekly arrival. The ‘Manatee’ allows us a fresh perspective, a breath of fresh air, and a great place to get re-inspired. So come join us! We love meeting new people, sharing inspiring ideas and taking to wild and pathless seas.

We call it Labracadabra Sailing (the name of our glorious studio!), and all are welcome!

Amazing artists, designers, developers and creators, you all inspire me greatly! pic ♥ mr. haack

Tuesday at the studio: brilliant idea discussion with Tim Cully, followed by an informative phone call from our freight forwarders and an inspiring chat with the noble and valiant Scott Hunthausen (currently residing in Chile).

We just finished lunch and had a rad think tank with Sean Woolsey, and we are jumping into working out some insane websites and products for our current clients.

There is a feeling of excitement all around us. Perhaps its the coming of summer, or perhaps its something bigger that we are closing in on. I sat through our midday think tank and realized what a talented group of individuals I am surrounded by. All of them so brilliant in their own ways, all of them limitless, and all of them on the verge of being great.

There are some exciting developments and ideas happening down at the studio and a potential that is about to be realized. It is a privilege to be a part of.

Our door is always open, and you are always welcome.
