Such Great Heights

Typecon Day 2

Things I Have Learned (or was reminded of) Last Night During the Stefan Sagmeister Presentation

> large, hollow, echoey rooms make it hard to hear the speaker

> Even though BBQ chicken wings are sacrilegious around these parts, they are sure good from La Nova

> The old Pink is still a great place to hang out

> Flying Bison sure brews some tasty Buffalo beer

> Sagmeister did some album art for the band HP Zinker (which included local drummer David Waz)

> Posters that are hand screen printed rule (way better that any offset printing)

> SS is not a god, even though the presentation had some churchy things happening-- he is just a man, a pretty good designer, but just a man...

> Type people and graphic artists are great people to hang out with

> Letterpress feels good to the touch

> The deadheads are going to invade downtown this afternoon

> When ever you see a seat, you should sit instead of stand

> Some people use Arial and just don't know any better

> It is not the heat, it's the humidity
