Christopher Allen, a Designer on Saints Row 2, passed away unexpectedly this week. The feeling of loss is immense, incalculable. We remember him for his gentle spirit, his easy-going personality, his warmth, and his genuine care and interest in the lives of everyone around him. He was a talented designer, a brilliant poker player, a beloved coworker, a loving husband, and a dear friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Lesley, and their family. We are deeply, deeply saddened, but we also recognize how tremendously privileged and blessed we are to have had someone as wonderful as Chris in our lives, even so briefly. He is truly missed.

We had a pretty sweet margarita party on Friday. We hired a couple of bartenders and they were just mixing it all up however you wanted, like frozen or not-frozen, peach flavor or regular flavor. The line for margaritas was VERY long, so I just had a beer. OK it was a Mike’s Hard Lime, but that doesn’t make me less of a man. What else. There was a bunch of food. Wings, dips, cookies, fruit, a whole spread. Lindsey did a good job decorating the office; you can see our man all gussied up here. Anyways it was really fun. I’m not telling you this to rub it in or anything, I’m just saying, it would have been even better if you had been there. Apply for a job so you can come next time! I’m serious!
