Had a good time at SOHO house recently talking with some folks who come from ‘both sides’ of our creative worlds: Advertising. and those who create the creative culture. With one foot planted firmly in both worlds, it was a lively convo.

We spent Memorial Day installing a salvaged floating dock & helping our new neighbors build out their old school pier. // on the market now you can get lighter, synthetic modern aluminum versions with faux wood – that will never rot, or wear out & always look perfect…. And are a helluva lot easier to install. Ours are old. Rough. Heavy as hell. Never sit even – no matter how much we try.And are a complete pain in the ass to repair every year. But theres something about the sweat equity you have to invest by putting in an old wooden pier the same way our great grandfathers had to do it. It makes you earn it, and somehow you end up enjoying it more. // T for Traditon // courtesy of @threadless at camp

KITCHEN DUTY. There are 5 kitchens at camp, in varying sizes of small, extra small, old & sort of usable. They’re all stocked with every imaginable vintage kitchen utensil (as long it predated 1960) and yet youll be hard pressed to find a sharp knife or a microwavable bowl in the bunch. Most folks still opt for the best kind of cooking: outdoor, over a fire.

9 years ago we adopted this guy from a high kill shelter and since the night we brought him home in our laps, he’s been our loyal camp security guard / face licker / hotdog stealer / couch snuggler / guest greeter) You can’t tell us dogs don’t have souls. #frankface

The Fishing Shack. Just the basics: no running water, electric, just a 100sq ft tribute to the long-loved tradition of Wisconsin Ice Shanties (this one smaller than many) There’s an access hole in the middle of the floor for dropping a line. (We found it abandoned a wrecked overgrown shell deep in the brush- now a 2nd life on its little perch) 📷: @bobcoscarelli

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE “For catching up with good friends, nothing beats a rustic and relaxed setting. Go for the kind of grown-up hideout where you can kick back and just chill, no commitments or itinerary necessary. For Philp and his pals Olivia and Ford [?], a wooded sleepaway-camp-style retreat just over the border in Wisconsin, within easy driving distance of the city, was the ticket—both rugged and civilized, with tricked-out treehouse lodgings for a club-like feel. They hiked, they rowed, they even let some arrows fly” full film here

No. 10 on the #WandawegaTour: The Lakeside Cabin. 3 bedrooms, 1 half bath, a kitchenette, sunporch, and communal mens & womens camp showers down below. It still just merits 1/8th of a star on the hotel scale but most folks dont seem to mind.
