Tuesday night’s FAILparty at Shine was a success. We had a capacity+ crowd and copious amounts of [pseudo] Fail Whale Pale Ale was consumed. My compliments to the organizers and everyone who participated in the event!

Don’t forget the First Interplanetary Fail Whale Pale Ale Label Contest submissions are due to Jeff Sonstein, the contest organizer, by Midnight (UTC) on July 31, 2008
Contest Details can be found at: Tweet Hunt. Please use a hash tag (type "#fwpa" at the end of your tweet) when talking about the contest on Twitter.
NOTE: This is not a submission to the FWPA design contest. I’m confident that you can do a whole heck of a lot better than this, so get your submissions in soon!!
[UPDATE 2008-08-01]
By unanimous agreement amongst the judges, the Fail Whale Pale Ale Label Design Contest has been extended until October 1, 2008. There have been five excellent submissions so far and we’re looking for many more. Please see the contest website, tweethunt.org for more details.

Hilary Talbot (@Hil121), a talented puppet maker and kinetic sculpture artist, created a beautiful sculpture of Fail Whale. An enthusiastic tip of the hat goes out to Hilary as well as all the other Aussies who have shown tremendous generosity, creativity, and humor in recent days!
