Yesterday we had the pleasure of walking Alan Weinkrantz, PR extraordinaire and Express News columnist, through our preparations leading into SXSW on Friday. He brought in some fantastic pizza (too kind, sir) and we gave him a little taste of what it’s like “living” in a start-up like we do. (For me, being in a start-up apparently means I need more sleep… those are some massive bags.) You’ll see some other friends in the video like Pear Analytics and MailFinch (if the name sounds familiar, he’s a fan of Brandstack too). Ignore the mess, we’re not normally that sloppy.
If you’re going to SXSW, feel free to stop by and say “hi”, grab a shirt, play some RockBank, record a video. Our friends and office mates at Pear Analytics will be at the booth next to us, so it’ll be a party! Can’t wait to meet you!
Check out the full article by Alan at http://voices.mysanantonio.com/sxswlive/2010/03/48-hours-to-go-how-four-san-an.html.

We’ve added someone new and important and awesome to the Brandstack team. But before we’ll allow them to contribute, they must answer the gauntlet of questions
To introduce the Brandstack world to Katelyn, we asked her a few straight forward questions. Here are her answers:
Q: In less than 8 words: Where are you from? What do you enjoy? What do you want?
A. Knoxville; art, food, cats, internetz, FUN PPL; fulltimejobatBrandstack!! (does that last one count as one word if I squish it all together?) [Nope. --Ed.]
Q: So honestly, how annoyed are you by the music in the office?
A. Haha I really like it! More plz.
Q: Have you ever seen anyone taller than Ryan Kelly (@pearanalytics) in person… seriously?
A. I thought so once, but then I realized I was at a zoo and it was a giraffe.

One of my earliest conversations with Rich were about autobots and dinobots from the Transformers series. An avid fan myself, it was so cool to talk to a fellow logo designer about the fandom that the series demanded. Rich is from Australia and is a really swell guy, it is always a pleasure to correspond and chat with him. In the logo designing world, he goes by the moniker of designabot. From watching his amazing logos pop up on website inspiration lists to reading the deeply philosophical quotes he shares on twitter, Rich never fails to amaze me with his depth of perception. He experiments, adapts and is always there with a kind word of encouragement and a sunny demeanor. I had so much fun reading more about him in this interview that he kindly did for us. I hope you do too.
Thanks Rich for taking the time out for this interview. It is good to have you on the blog.
1. Tell us a little about yourself. About Rich Scott the person and Rich Scott the designer.
I am a 30 year old currently living in Queensland, Australia. I appreciate all aspects of creativity and right-brain thinking! Love a bit of tennis, chess and music (mainly funk and break beats). I have worked on a Mac since forever but am pleased to have avoided all hype surrounding other Apple products… so far! I have run my own business for the last 2+ years and enjoy the freedom this brings to my life. I find it hard to be creative on demand, so working freelance gives me the chance to dictate my own schedule and let creativity flow at leisure.
2. How did you get started with logo designing? Why logo designing?
I am fond of all aspects related to the logo design process, from initial brainstorming to seeing the final article in use. I have always been inquisitive into the origins and meanings behind hieroglyphs and ancient symbols. I found myself gravitating towards logo design because of the emotion and messages you can impart on a viewer with just a simple icon and/or font. After a few years out of the game it wasn’t until quite recently where my passion for graphic design returned and with it my focus became logos/brand identity. It is quite a specialist field but one that really captured my heart.
3. What according to you is the most fulfilling part of being a brand creator?
I would have to say bringing an idea to life that was once a mere flicker of inspiration in my mind then seeing the finished article is also a real pleasure. The amount of ideas and possible brand solutions are infinite which really fascinates and inspires me. It’s a really great feeling to receive feedback from your peers when you create identities that are unique, recognizable and fingers crossed, stand the test of time.
4. Can you share with us your most challenging logo design to date? What was the biggest hurdle in doing it?
Surprisingly one of my most challenging logos appears to be one of the simplest. It was originally an unused concept, which I re-worked for sale on Brandstack called ‘Silk Skin’. The concept came to me in a flash but when it came to vectorising in Adobe Illustrator, it took forever! Adjusting the size of one foot in relation to the other while still forming a recognisable letter ‘s’ was a real challenge but I got there in the end.
5. What has been the most unusual source of inspiration for your logos?
A designer takes inspiration from all areas of life not just the design world. One of my more recent brands ‘Vacuum Viper’ was probably the most unusual source. I was finishing up some house work (yawn) … then packing up the vacuum I pressed the cord release button. The speed and velocity of the cords recall reminded me of a snake as it nipped me on the way back! I jumped straight into illustrator with the idea still fresh in my mind and so this brand was born.
6. If there was one logo out there in the real world that you wished you had created, which one would that be?
There are so many but one recent logo that keeps popping up and stands out is ‘Under Armour’. It’s a simple and strong design, and as with all great logos combines graphic elements to convey a distinct message.
7. Out of your own portfolio, which logo is the dearest to you? Why?
I love all my creations but one that is dear to me is ‘Penny Puddle’. The main reason I am happy with this one is the strength of concept combined with the speed it took me to execute. I began reading the clients brief and the concept was in my mind before I finished reading. I wanted to convey emotions relating to financial wishes and upward mobility. I really think this solution delivers effectively.
8. Can you share with us your logo design process for Brandstack?
In the early days of Brandstack I re-worked a number of unused concepts and developed new brand names. More recently however all my designs have been crafted specifically for Brandstack. The process usually begins with a spark of inspiration, which can come to me at any point in the day. I will check to see if the .com or appropriate domain is available and then start sketching or jump into Illustrator. Nowadays on Brandstack you will notice most logos will sell as a package with a unique domain included, so it’s worth giving some serious thought.
9. How do you market yourself as a brand creator? What sites and tools do you use for promotion?
One aspect I have had to really push myself with is the whole marketing thing. It is all a bit of a learning curve but with the aid of sites like Brandstack it gives us designers exposure to many potential clients and is a useful marketing tool. As well as selling the odd logo here and there I am now in contact with lots of fellow creatives and have a few new clients gained exclusively through Brandstack. I also use sites such as, Logopond, Faveup and Logospire for promoting logos. I was dubious with Twitter to start with but it has turned out to be a very handy communication tool.
10. What is the single most valuable trait of a logo designer? If one doesn’t have it, is there a way to develop and hone it?
I would say self-belief is the most important thing to have as a logo designer. You have to be confident enough to follow your intuition and believe in all your creations. Putting your work ‘out there’ for critique can be daunting but my advice is, just go for it! Belief is within all of us but can still be developed further by taking criticism of all types, learning and moving forward in a positive direction.
11. What are your preferred choice of fonts for logos?
I always try and match icon and font as seamlessly as possible. My style is quite clean and minimalist so generally I gravitate towards san serif fonts. A few favourites are Bryant, Univers and Proxima
12. Superman logo or Batman Logo? Why?
I am a sucker for symmetry so on that basis I would have to say the Batman logo!
13. What are your plans and goals for yourself in the year 2010?
I try not to plan too far ahead or even set that many goals. I am pretty easy going and do my best to live in the moment and create the best experience I can. The main objective is to stay in business for myself as long as I can… I really couldn’t go back to working for ‘the man’ so I stay on my toes and work hard. That said I always have un-design related business ideas up my sleeve. It’s just finding the time to gain some revenue and get them going!
14. Any words of wisdom for newbie designers?
We have all at some point in time been new to the design industry. I would say try to be creative and as unique as possible. Create your own little niche within a fairly tough industry. Always keep a positive mind-set and have strong intent that you can and will succeed! Listen to others, ask questions and keep practicing whatever design process you feel most comfortable with. I would always recommend a design course of some sort to gain key knowledge and understanding of design principles. Whatever your skill level the main thing is to have a great concept. I agree that ‘less is more’ but it can be okay to come up with more complex logos providing the concept is strong and then presented in a visually appealing manner.
Thanks for the interview Sneh! ; )
And thanks for sharing some great advice with us Rich. We wish you the very best.

I have not had the pleasure of interacting with Nadir personally in the past but I have admired his work for a while. Once in a while, a logo would crop up that I would really take a shine to and I would see that it was from “Logorado” which happens to be Nadir Balcikli’s design name and brand. There were times when I wondered why he wasn’t creating more logos, because it was such a joy to see the few he had created. Then I realized why? “Less is More” is Nadir’s motto and it is evident from the sheer honesty he pours into his designs, not going for quantity but definitely producing top quality work. Today, Nadir takes time out from his busy schedule to talk to us about how Logorado came into being, how he found Brandstack and what are his thoughts behind the wonderful logos he designs.
Thank you Nadir for speaking to us today.
1. Tell us a bit about yourself. Who you are? Where you are from? And what do you do?
I am a 25 year old married designer living in Ankara/Turkey. The absolute musts in my life are my wife, my paper and pen, and my computer. If these were not in my life, I wouldn’t have been telling you these things today. I thank my wife very much for all that supports she’s been giving me. Taking photographs, reading personal development books and watching psychology- thriller movies may be counted as my favorite hobbies.
2. What is the story behind Logorado? How did your brand come into existence?
While I was working at the office one day I reached the decision that I needed to develop my expertise in a specific field of graphic design. What would that be? Clearly, It did not take me long to make my decision and to tell the truth the first and the single most thing that came to my mind was logo designing. This is how I started Logorado. In a significantly short time I achieved a reputation in the market and I continued and still continue to improve myself in this specific field.

Veep aka Greg Grigoriou is an energy powerhouse. He is also a very talented designer oozing razor sharp wit with illustrative abilities to match. I had the pleasure of interviewing him for my blog last year and it was the most fun interview I had done. My first interview for 2010 and Greg has once again delivered, prompty and cleverly answering some thought provoking questions I dished out. I love his style of logo design and he is one of the most “in the moment” logo designers I have come across. Today, he talks about his personal side, about how he began logo design, about the perils and prevails of this industry and shares some really useful tips on custom lettering and type based logos.
Thank you Greg for doing this interview!
1. Tell us something about you. Where are you based? What do you do, professionally and personally speaking?
I am a 30 something designer from Toronto Canada who calls San Diego California home. Husband to a beautiful wife, and father of 2. Must-haves in my life include hockey, green tea and playing with my kids. Professionally speaking I divide my time between brand consulting for the web, illustration for print and logo design.
2. Tell us a bit about your logo designing background. How did it all begin for you? When you started designing logos, did you ever think that they would encompass you so completely?
I got my start in illustration. My background is in painting and drawing for magazine editorials, books, and packaging. I did the odd logo here and there, but for about 6 years solid I was doing nothing but illustration. This is a phenomenal underpinning to have in design.
I can draw the pictures I imagine. I like to think that my logos reflect a strong ability to draw and execute unique ideas. That’s illustration baby! Logo design is probably only 60 percent of what I do right now. I am doing a lot of consulting and web design right now. Social Media Examiner is one of my latest projects that reflects the full breadth of what I am doing right now.
3. What is the most gratifying aspect of logo design? Is that achieved in every single identity job that you do?
I love that I have a new and different client every week! It keeps things exciting and fresh and never dull. I have to say though that the most rewarding aspect of logo design is when it’s connected to the overall branding effort. For example, I recently completed an identity for Social Media Examiner. We created an entire world that started with the logo. Again that’s why I love the idea of connecting my logos on Brandstack to a domain because then I am helping to create the foundation for a brand, rather than just a stock logo that is plugged into an existing entity. This is definitely not achieved all of the time. Very often I’m brought in as a hired gun to create a logo and nothing more. That’s OK, don’t get me wrong, but it can become a forgettable experience.
4. If you could change one thing about how the logo design process usually works, what would that be?
The actual logo design process is working for me, so I wouldn’t change much. I am going to take this opportunity to criticize Google though. Right now, if a client does a google search for “Logo Design”, the first 30 or 40 listings will be contest sites and logo mills that are chalk full of novice designers, logo contest sites, and logo factories. Those are not the best way to get a logo. In fact they can be some of the worst ways to acquire a logo. Google has changed the logo landscape by rewarding the biggest sites, rather than the best ones. I know that google rewards sites with the right keywords and links, but I think there needs to be a more human element attached to this kind of search.
5. Can you share with us ways and methods you use to keep your mind sharp and enabled to nurture new branding ideas all the time?
Well Brandstack plays a huge role there for me. Hardly a week goes by where I won’t design a couple of logos specifically for Brandstack. It also motivates me to think in terms of what’s hot right now. I am also a huge advocate of getting out of the studio for ideas. Look at magazines, go to car shows, watch design reality shows, paint and draw. Things not necessarily associated with logo design. Logo design is very much connected to pop art. If you know what’s going on in the world around you, you have a much better chance of designing well for it.
6. What is your typical logo design process for Brandstack?
Right now it’s all about acquiring strong domains, then designing around them. I used to focus more on the marks, but I believe that the thing that sets Brandstack apart the most is the total branding package that includes a unique domain. I spend a fair amount of time researching and acquiring domains. I have a large budget for that so that I cast a wide net. When looking for domains I try and think broad. How will this domain help the most people? When I think I have a winning domain, I will imagine it’s potential and then begin to build it out through font and graphics. The majority of the work I sell on Brandstack has been custom made for sale on Brandstack.
7. How often do you find yourself browsing, commenting and fave-ing other logos on Brandstack? How do you think Brandstack helps you as a designer?
Quite a lot! I know I appreciate when others leave feedback for my designs, so I try and do the same. If a logo stands out to me, I will usually comment on it. Not only does it help me make friends on Brandstack. I will usually keep my commentary pretty brief so as not to influence a potential sale with my remarks. If I don’t have something good to say, I won’t say anything at all!
8. Text based logos that don’t have icons or “marks” in them, need to handled very delicately to make them stand out even more. How do you work to ensure that text based logos are as memorable as ones with icons, that they are not lost due to lack of a defining graphic?
Well I try to acquire domains that are short and catchy. Domains like Spinra.com, Shasto.com and Avisra.com don’t need to be weighted down with emblems. They are good domains that have a wide appeal. Sometimes I feel like a good domain needs to speak for itself. I think a logo can have much broader appeal when it’s based around a unique font that captures the personality of the word. When designing these types of logos I will either hand draw a font so that it’s totally one of a kind, or I’ll heavily customize one or more letters so that there is no chance that it has every existed before. I look at the relationship between letters a lot. You can find a lot of inspiration in the negative space between the letters.
9. How do you design custom lettering for logos? 5 fonts that you find yourself returning to time and time again.
I sort of let the word tell me what it wants to looks like. You can categorize a domain based on how it sounds and reads. Recently I designed a logo for Vervant.com and you can almost hear it telling you to make it graceful. Then I’ll go about looking at some fonts, but in the end I usually design my own, or heavily customize an existing one. I design off of a grid when I’m working with fonts. I will look for patterns in the letters and repetition. It can get kind of technical. I recently acquired oqobo.com and I’m just so happy with it because it turned to be a perfectly balanced ambigram that read the exact same way right side up as it did upside down. I echoed this in the border treatment. Every word has an opportunity just waiting to be exploited! I am pretty secretive about what fonts I use. I do like Trajan and Helvectica wide bold italic a lot. I’ve collected hundreds of fonts, and I don’t really turn to one specific font time and time again.
10. Share with us some of the tools of your trade? What software and hardware do you use on a regular basis?
You’ve got to have the latest version of Adobe Illustrator CS, as well as an up to date Mac. I will never use a PC again. I am so dissapointed in my experience with PC. I only recently began using Apple products believe it or not, and the machine continues to surprise me with its intuition and stability. I feel like I could be a spokesperson for Apple after using this thing. It really is an amazing machine that every digital artist should take full advantage of. With PC, I was constantly fighting the computer for control, but with an iMac the machine fades into the background. I wish I had bought a whack of Apple stock a long time ago.
11. Your favorite logo from your own portfolio? Your favorite logo on Brandstack?
My favorite logo on Brandstack from my own portfolio is Fair Trade Growers. I think it’s a pretty timeless design, and it is relevant. I am most proud of work that has strong cultural relevance. Batstard is pretty near and dear to my heart too. I believe it’s currently being used as a clothing line!
12. How has the logo and branding industry changed since you got into it? What do you think of the need of all the big guns rushing to rebrand themselves?
The branding landscape is definitely getting a lot cleaner. I feel like there is more white space in everything. Everything is starting to feel more organic and personal because branding agencies are pushing buzz words like “love”, “I” and My”. They are trying to build loyalty through passion and friendship with the customer, and that’s why you are seeing such a big push by the big companies to rebrand themselves. The Obama campaign sort of epitomized how powerful this type of branding campaign could be. I think since 2008, a LOT of companies took notice. Of course the other BIG change has to do with how logos are being made and sold. A big part of the logo world has turned into a commodity where quality is secondary, and speed and price are foremost on the customer’s mind. This is just another example of the Walmartization of the marketplace, and it’s a monster that is now out of our control. I try and balance the two worlds, don’t ignore the needs of the modern consumer, but don’t turn your back on principles of good design, fair pay, and love for what you do.
13. Best advice ever received? Best advice you could give to anyone who would listen?
Don’t spend too much money or you’ll have to get a day job. A painting instructor in college told me that. Second best advice was my wife telling me I needed to get an iMac.
Thanks Sneh!
Thanks again Greg, wish you the very best for 2010 and more sales on Brandstack than ever before.

Tabitha Kristen is a talented young woman who has a passion for logo and brand creation. She is persistent, single-minded and determined which is very evident from her success on Brandstack. She not only creates great logos but also excels in marketing her designs and finding homes for her logos in a very crowded marketplace, a task which is definitely not easy. I have watched her since the day she started on Brandstack back in the Incspring days and still remember some of her earlier logos, I look at her now and am amazed with what focus and passion for something can do for a person. Tabitha has evolved and blossomed into a designer who understands exactly what is required and then delivers it without a hitch. Today, Tabitha takes some time out from a busy life and schedule to chat with us about how she started out and what is her secret for becoming the best-selling designer on Brandstack.
We welcome you to the blog Tabitha, thanks for doing this interview.
1. Tell us something about yourself. Who is the real Tabitha Kristen? What have you studied and what is your work profile?
Well, I’m 27 years old, I’m engaged and I have three amazingly wonderful children. They provide much of my inspiration. Just the simple day to day life with them keeps my creative gears turning. I just recently moved from the upper peninsula of Michigan to the Dallas area. I love Texas. If you’re interested, a few of my favorite things (other than my family and logo design) are reading, art and music. Family is the most important thing in the world to me. My family and I are very close and we spend most of our time together. My mother, (Swede on Brandstack) is my best friend and my father, (a Navy veteran) is my hero. I believe it’s very inspiring to have a bond like that with your family.

Sean Farrell is a multi-talented creative who started out in the world of logo design under his moniker of “Penflare”. Learning and adapting fast, Sean developed his own unique style over the 2 years since he started out and created a name for himself branding clean and viable identities for businesses. Recently Sean, a great guy I first came across on Twitter, got married to his sweetheart of 8 years and rebranded his own identity from Penflare to Brandclay. He is religious, loves movies, reads comics, bakes cupcakes and today he takes time out to chat with us about his signature style, about the rationale behind his own rebranding and where he sees himself in a couple of years from now.
Thanks Sean for doing this interview. We welcome you to the Brandstack blog and are very excited to know about your new brand.
1. Will the real Sean Farrell please stand up? We all know that you are an excellent logo designer and an all round swell guy, but tell us more about you. Who you really are and what makes you tick?
That is me, Sean Farrell. For those who don’t know me, here goes. I am 23 years old, I was recently married on August 8th this year to my girlfriend of 8 years. I love to watch and play sports, especially hockey (I play forward and goalie). I never took an art (except for the one they made us take), marketing, graphics class in my life. I own 4 franchises of the ice cream company called Dippin’ Dots. I have a Pomeranian dog named Zoey. My favorite ice cream (besides Dippin’ Dots of course 
is Ben & Jerry’s fudge brownie or Coldstone’s French toast with chocolate chips. I am a movie fanatic and love all the marvel / dc movies. I am a Christian and find that most of my inspiration hits me when I’m reading the bible. The rest, I’ll just leave to mystery. Something that makes me tick is spec designers stealing real designers work.
2. Out of all the disciplines of design out there, what attracted you to logo and brand development? How did you start out in this field?
I started designing in early 2008. I had no idea what I was doing and designed some pretty horrific stuff (we all start somewhere). Thankfully, I was doing this work for free. I marketed myself on Craigslist for about 2-3 weeks and got some “iffy” jobs. I was told early on (by other designers that I knew) that I was probably going to end up in the print field. A lot of my work included textures, shadows, gradients haha, a common mistake made by many new designers. If it was an option to add anything to that layer, I wanted to do it, I thought the more the merrier. I soon found out it was not the complicated that people wanted, but to simplify the complicated, to make things simple and easy to understand. My designs started becoming simpler, and I then realized my heart belonged to the world of logo design.
3. What is the most rewarding and most frustrating thing about being a logo designer?
I would say the most rewarding thing is having a client being blown away with the designs you give them. I would say the most frustrating thing is lack of direction on the clients end. It’s never good when they don’t know what they want and pull you in a ton of different directions.

Most Brandstack users know him as LogoGuppy. To many others he is John Mascarenhas, a witty, charming, friendly gem of a guy who because of his willingness to help others and learn from others, stands out in this overcrowded world of logo designers and brand creators. With a background in marketing and a penchant for doodling that evolved into amazing illustrations at an early age, John’s passion for creating logos is very recent. It was very nice of John to take out some time from his busy schedule to answer some questions for us and give us an insight into how he creates logos.
Thanks John for doing this interview. We really appreciate it.
Tell us a bit about yourself. Where you are from and what you do?
I’m from all over the map but currently living in Bangalore, India. I am a hyperactive, chain-smoking, coffee addict. I do A to Z of design work to feed my various addictions.
How did you get into the wonderful world of logo designing?
By a freak accident! My wife stumbled upon this contest site which had contests running for $20! And because I have a flair for artsy things she thought I might be able to translate my sketching skills onto the digital medium, as well and the rest as they say is history. And before I knew it I was seriously contemplating a career change from the big bad marketing world to the even more complex designing world.
What is the hardest part of being a logo designer according to you?

Alen Pavlovic is a nice guy and a brilliant brand and identity designer. What sets him apart from the others is that he is tireless. Quite literally! There is an energy about him that manages to spill over even in his emails. I can vouch for that. A few correspondences with him and I wanted to spend 20 hours a day creating simple and effective designs that work beautifully in the real world, just like his. If you still don’t know who I am talking about, think “Type08″. A-ha! I knew that would ring a bell. That is Alen’s online moniker and personal brand, about which he talks in this interview he so graciously granted despite living his life on several very busy time zones. And if you really want to know why he is also known as Jack Bauer, skip to the last question and once your curiosity has been satisfied, scroll back up and join me in welcoming Alen Pavlovic aka Type08 to this fun interview.
Thank You Alen for doing this interview for us. It is much appreciated.
1. Who is the real Alen Pavlovic? Tell us a bit about his personal side.
Hello everyone! The best way to answer this question is probably this: there’s no other side of me, there’s only the REAL me all the time! Hehee, a bit philosophical maybe, I know, but really this is the best answer. I am who I am all the time and people know me that way. I am always open, honest, very positive and dynamic person. I love nature, I love life! I have a lot of positive energy and always try to share it with others. 31, love my girlfriend Renata, live in small but very beautiful Croatia, passionate about too many things I guess!
2. Can you shed some light on Alen Pavlovic’s professional side? What have you studied and what do you do?
I have a Project Management diploma which I studied at the Civil Engineering section of the Zagreb University here in Croatia. Since 1998 I own a company called ”Artra” that deals with a lot of business areas, from design over architecture to marketing and consulting. I have outsourced a nice team of very capable people and we just love working together on various kinds of projects. Besides that, the reason I am probably doing this interview is that I also do a lot of international freelancing in graphic design, especially the visual identity section of it mixed with the ‘taste’ of the branding.
Today I am very happy to be interviewing not only an extremely talented Logo & Web Designer, but a dear friend as well, my fellow Aussie mate Fabian Marchinko of Brand Simplicity. I have been tweeting with Fabian for almost 6 months now and he is one of the most down-to-earth designers I have ever come across. His brand creating style is also very unique and is most often inspired by nature, a perk of hailing from the Australian continent which abounds in breathtaking natural beauty. Fabian has been developing brands and building websites for almost a decade. Join me as I ask him some personal and some fun questions about where it all began for him and what lies in the future for him and his own brand, Brand Simplicity.
Fabian Marchinko Of Brand Simplicity
Thank You for doing this interview for us. It is an absolute pleasure to have you answer some personal and professional questions for us today.
Who is Fabian Marchinko when he is not being a designer?
Perth has one of the best climates in the world, so I can’t complain too much. I enjoy a quiet life with my girl, kicking back with our 2 dogs Jack and Jill and 2 cats. If Huey’s got his act together, I’ll go for a surf at my local beach and pull into a few. In summer, the pool gets a thrashing and I’ll spark up the BBQ with some close friends.
