It was a parking lot party... so of course it rained. But that didn't stop the crowds from coming out to help celebrate the kick off of Emily Pilloton's Design Revolution Road Show.
Over 450 attended the event, held at the Academy of Art University, to tour the vintage Airstream trailer, chat with Emily, and dine on the delectable treats of some of San Francisco's best mobile food vendors: Kashay's Brick Oven Pizza, Brittany Crepes, Sweetface Bakery's cupcakes, and El Tonayense tacos.
After a full day of exhibit tours and a standing room only lecture, Emily had her first chance to celebrate the start of her 25 school, 6300 miles, 75 day, tour across the country in her Airstream trailer. In support of her mission many Academy people, fellow design professionals and admirers stopped in. We spotted Christopher Morlan, Ben Davis, Amy Gustinic, Alice Bybee, Christopher Simmons, and Stephan Jenkins to name a few. All were there to wish Emily the best of luck on her journey.

We especially appreciate the great video put together by Mike Jeter, Carl Bender, Justin Fantl and Adam Peterson for The Black Harbor.
