The Long Weekend Website

Our Story

So, you’d like to learn more about Long Weekend?

If you’re a media outlet looking for press materials, we also have a Press Kit.

I’ve never started a band, but I think it would have been like us in May 2009. With the five-day Golden Week holiday ahead, we decided to get together and “do something Awesome”. Guys like us like projects, we like building stuff. This has continued to be our modus operandi.

People are busy. How’s this for the “little voice” in your head:

I have to pick up the dry cleaning, they close early today.  Next fiscal year is coming up and I still haven’t submitted my budget. Still haven’t ordered flowers yet for Mother’s Day, shoot.

And so on. Most people are too busy with routines to actually execute their Awesome ideas.

That doesn’t mean you don’t think of Awesome ideas every day. “Someone could run a business on human distributed systems .” “It’s time to quit smoking”. “Wouldn’t it be awesome to bake your own crab cakes?”

We, however, are on a permanent Long Weekend, and we invite you to join us.

Our goal is simple: create Awesome interactions with users, customers, competitors, and the general public. We aim to leave everyone thinking, “who were those guys, anyway?!”.

In the positive sense, of course. But we’ll accept infamy and notoriety as well.
