We recently held a baseball night for our crew, families, friends, and kids. It was a gorgeous Oregon evening for our local team the Emeralds to take on the truly evil Spokane Indians. Hotdogs and brewskies flowed like water. Peanuts and cracker jacks flowed like champagne. We ate, we smiled, we rooted for the home team.
No one will ever forget Rick the Rocket and Ira aka Fast Eddy's stellar (::side eye::) performance building a human burger (we are the team on the left).
Lightning Lance threw out the first pitch.
Here's some more of the fun.

Oregon gear in the house. Featuring Dan and Ryan left and center.
KRS, the next generation. Keeping in mind that we are designers. Yes, we have designed our offspring to be extra cute.
Least appetizing burger in the history of the world. Most awesome burger in the history of all time.
Needless to say, it was an all around good time. We loved seeing over 200 KRS employees and their friends and family come out for the event! Final score was Emeralds: 8, Indians:2.
Check out this cool video about the Lego story. As designers, I'm sure we all started out as kids building lego creations!
Lego, especially the classic, basic pieces in bold, bright colors that we all remember playing with as kids, has always been an inspiration to the imagination. The company released this short animation to mark its 80th anniversary.
As you know, it is incredibly important to shovel things with frosting in your face when celebrating a life event. We take these kinds of social mores very seriously at KRS. Birthday? There shall be things with frosting! Holiday? Things With Frosting! Wedding? Things With Frosting! Wednesday? Again Yes Frosting! New Baby? Bring it! And by "it" we mean "Frosting!"
In addition to the excuse for frosting, we are all so excited for our senior designer, Marco, who is about to become a first time papa! Andy made cupcakes.
We taste-tested baby food (yes we did!) and Anna proved to have the most refined palate. She knew her pears from her apples and also brought the brightest smile.
And then there's the man of the hour. Get ready to not sleep for at least two years, Marco! We are so so happy for you and your growing family!
If you were thinking, "wow KRS must have joined Instagram look at all those square pictures with hip retro filters," then you are right. We have no idea what we're doing with Instagram but so far it's been a lot of fun. If you're on Instagram too then come follow us we're @KingRetail.
Nothing howls, "Halloween awoooo!" more ghoulishly than Beetlejuice, Wolf Man and a beaming Keg (of rootbeer, obviously) gathered around for a pumpkin-carving contest. Well, unless you turn around to spot your friendly neighborhood Anarchist sipping apple cider with the world's flyest Disco Diva. Yes, anarchists sip.
We could go on and on. KRS' annual Halloween party brought out the best in our awesome team of freaks and geeks.
