update city

hold the phone

Okay so I wanted to refrain from complaining in here but...
1. there is such a thing as TypeCon!!! how and WHY did i not know about this??? what a wonderful and amazing and wild-pony-dream-like event!
2. TypeCon2008 WAS HELD IN BUFFALO (my hometown for the like, 2 people that happen upon this or those who didn't know that)
3. student tickets were $165 as opposed to $320
4. oh, and stefan sagmeister spoke.

negative aspect is that is was still over 150 bucks, which is lame because i wholeheartedly believe art students should be allowed free admission to museums, speaker series and related events... but yeah. also it took place either when i was in tennassee or getting ready for the hamptons show with scope but REGARDLESS- it would have been nice to know about.

the next one is in atlanta- so if you happen to be around there this summer, are a type nerd, and have an extra couple hundred to spare, have a great time! send me a postcard, i'll be slaving away here.

thanks trent

The Buffalo Beast (fictional lovechild of Maddox and the Onion) released its list of the 50 Most Loathsome People in America- read it here on their site. You can probably guess who #1 is but the whole thing is definitely worth checking out.

...finally

my completed quilt! it's been done for awhile, but i had my dear friend Nate take a deese photo this past weekend. He also shot my Albright-Knox Art Gallery bookcover.


In other news... I have yet to do anything this break. Well, that's not entirely true. I read Black Hole by Charles Burns, reread Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk, and gave David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest another crack (I'm really enjoying reading 50-100 pages every other month... yeah). I also went to the Bronx Museum with friends that were visiting, and got some books at Strand.
Next week, Sally and I are going to put armfuls of recycled paper to good use, so be on the lookout for that. And be careful when someone loves you.

oooo im a typography ghost!

its so close to being done! more pictures tomorrow.
