It was a year ago when we claimed that we were, "Davao's new creative baby." Now, we're nine and a half issues strong, with a whole lot of experience behind us. Even though we've been working for more than 300 days last year, we can still say that we've had the best year ever!

Now... who wants some cake?


What's a good party without some sweet grooves? In this birthday issue, we kick things off with this party mix featuring local artists.

Blue Room has it all figured out: Great acts, prime location, first-class drinks, among others. Don't worry, we came up with a list of why Blue Room at the Apo View Hotel is the best choice on your weekend bender.

Check out the article, "After-Drink Delight" if you've built up the appetite after a night out drinking. It's all local, and won't leave you penniless.

We also got the chance to talk to the one-man-team behind GOOD Clothing and to the alternative rock band Tramonto.

LIEU has been up and about these days. We were invited to SM Lanang Premier's Love Rocks and Elements: The Sonic Escalation Party as well as Abreeza Mall's Style Paradigm fashion show.

For our cover story, we asked some of Davao's creative visionaries to really find out what they think of LIEU.

LIVE TO CREATE,
LIEU
