On 12 August the "In Your Face" Anon event went down in the Kunsthalle: project space in Vienna/Austria. We had fashionistas, media people, shop kids, and dealers celebrate a blend of Anon party, pop-up exhibition, and fashion event. We selected people from the crowd for our ad hoc Anon photo shoot and exhibited the results immediately at the party. Over the course of the night the pictures became so popular that some of them got nicked. We had fashion photographer Daniel Gebhart de Koekkoek take the pictures, Bombay Sapphire supply free drinks, Munich-based Portuguese DJ Moulinex spin the records, and the crowd go wild. Have a look at the pictures and check out the link for more impressions on the successful night.

The 2009 Neptune 500 has come and gone and all that is left for the elite underground teams of tandem bike racers are scars, embarrassing photos, broken bikes, and the dreams of a next year podium finish. Presented by: Circuit City, Chrylser, anon Optics, ESPN Latin America, and Pabst Blue Ribbon, the race consists of tandem teams, mandatory costumes, and seven bar stops of shots. Congratulations to this years winners Ryan Hargrave and Austin Wade. Their drinking skills, strategy, awesome costumes and amazing tan lines made for an untouchable team.
