3 Golden Years at MODE.

3 Golden Years at MODE.

Posted by Maxim Vakhovskiy | Awards & Recognition, Inspiration, Studio, Uncategorized | Jul. 24, 2009
You know you’re hitting it big when your studio mates pull their money together to gift you commemorative bling, and not just any bling — a golden Georgé timepiece (Walmart exclusive). In my over three years at MODE, I’ve cried, I’ve laughed, I’ve eaten at Lang Van. Being tricked into working here didn’t turn out to be such a bad thing after all. Thank you for tolerating my peculiarities, keeping me off the streets and paying me enough to feed myself and my toy poodle.
Thank you MODE, thank you Georgé. I’ve made it.
