Is it really time for Offset again? Yes it is most certainly is. The annual pilgrimage to the Bord Gáis is upon us for considerations, conversations and the promises we make to ourselves to be better, braver, more creative, like those on the stage. In the mix this year are Gail Bichler, design director of the New York Times Magazine, NCAD grad and fashion designer Simone Rocha, the master of comic art Chris Ware [who has been on their wishlist since 2008] and trippy technologist Joshua Davies are among the draws. Look out for Offsite happenings about town too.
