It rocked my world. I could see, right there on tables and in sketches, how the most creative mind in architecture created, from idea stage to fully realized buildings. I was moved to see both his brilliance and how his creative process is so similar to ours as ad and design creatives.
Then, a year or so later, I saw that Gehry had designed the trophy for the World Cup of Hockey. Not just another building, the trophy was a dramatic, soaring confluence of Gehry’s talent and his passion for a sport.

The complexities, lyrical and musical genius of the following:

A cold beer on a hot beach listening to Jimmy Buffett.
That's right, God is a creative, Jimmy is a great storyteller, and whoever brews Corona is just plain good.
I'm not sure if any of these are my definite "all-time favorites." But after experiencing them, they each made me redefine how I think about certain things...
-Catcher in the Rye (Salinger)
-Catch-22 (Heller)
-Dark Side of the Moon (Pink Floyd)
-OK Computer (Radiohead)
-In the Aeroplane Over the Sea (Neutral Milk Hotel)
