an update from alivenotdead.com's very own Flugtag team! ( www.alivenotdead.com/alivenotdead):
ok, maybe that title is somewhat inaccurate... but the point is - we have started!
The press drive for Red Bull's Flugtag has started, the event is about a month away now, so things are picking up speed!
Last week MILK Magazine sent a photographer over to cover our team. I present to you your 2010 Flugtag team ~~~~
...trying really hard to look cool!
It took a while, but we found four AnD artists actually willing to do this!!! The official alivenotdead.com Flugtag team is:
Simon Yin ('the director')
Derrick Fong ('the visionary')
Vince Matthew Chung ('the anarchist')
Gloria Wong ('the lightest one in the group')
Actually we have a large group of artists who have also volunteered to contribute their time and talents in the construction too. And we also have had a few generous offers to sponsor the costs of the build too!
The Milk guys just came to do a quick shoot in the lobby of our office building, but it wouldn't be Simon Yin if he didn't goof off in at least a few shoots...
Hanging around...
Foreshadowing the inevitable team implosion when crunch time comes around?
never one to be subtle, this one is called 'Red Bull Gives You Wings' or perhaps ' Let's take a leap of faith off a 6m high platform into Victoria Harbor'
They did an interview too:
Hey, how did that Coke get on the table?!?
We have no idea what they're going to print from the interview... but the basic gist of the interview was "alivenotdead.com's team will do much better than Reebok's team... even though they've got Chrissie Chau and have already finished their plane!"
Once the team interview is published we'll post a scan here!
NOTE- the team is wearing a brand new product we are about to launch. alivenotdead.com's first collaboration with G-TOX design. Check back for more details on that soon when it officially goes on sale!
PS - Be sure to check out all the updates from all the Red Bull Flugtag HK teams' blogs, Red Bull is sharing them on their AnD official partner page here:

We'll have more progress reports coming up!
