A "prequel" to the videoblog that Dave, Richard and I did at The Boss, in this quick videocast we chat about Francis who's currently at RCS Shanghai, Chinese New Year (which formally ends today), Robbie Burns night and that wonderful Vancouver fusion of Chinese New Year and Robbie Burns night, Todd Wong's Gung Haggis Fat Choy.

Check out the video after the jump.

One year ago I decided to offer myself a very special birthday gift: I accepted a full-time position with Raincity Studios. The wrapper looked cool, the card was inviting and it sounded good when I shook the box.

Little did I know what was to come when I accepted the offer... We were a crew of six at that time, occupying the cosy 525 Seymour office and working on small and engaging projects. Then talented new team members and soon-to-be-friends joined our gang. Next there was the fruitful Bryght acquisition and, more recently, the opening of the Shanghai office. We are now a family of 27 hard-working, dedicated and fun-loving people, collaborating together on larger exciting projects. It feels like I'm still unwrapping the gift...

Over the past year or two, Raincity Studios has teamed up with the Lullabots to build and theme unique Drupal sites for several high-profile and up and coming Sony BMG artists.

Drupal themeing has long been Raincity's calling card and we've certainly enjoyed contributing our skills to connect rock stars with their fans and vice versa. While we are still working along on some more Sony projects, here are a few we've rocked out in the past while.

Ozzy Osbourne

When we were asked to build a site for Ozzy Osbourne the guys were stunned and honored. The end result was to have fans that love Ozzy Osbourne have a haven to reside in for all their Ozzy needs. Fans can review events involving Ozzy. Any announcements or rants from the man in black will be posted there. There is even a place to research hidden meanings in the lyrics.
