Some of you have expressed your disgust about UnBeige’s near-obsession with Ze Frank. Well, let us be the first to tell you, there’s nothing “near” about it. The man is a god. A hero among men. And we miss him dearly.

And that’s why we just can’t stop yakking about Frank’s upcoming moderating gig for AIGA NY: Designing Audiences, scheduled for Tuesday, May 29. But the obsession doesn’t stop there. We’re obsessed with Stefan Bucher and his Daily Monsters, which are being turned into a book. And we’re obsessed with Stamen founder Eric Rodenbeck‘s where-pictures-meet-places app Mappr. And we’re obsessed with all Katie Salen‘s pursuits–like Karaoke Ice and the Big Urban Game.

Besides, isn’t obsession, after all, what any good audience should possess? Buy tickets here.
