Ugh. Came into the city for work today. The subway was suffocating.

Extra reason to come to the bar tonight and be cool.

yes I want to be cool. I will be at the bar.

In fact, I am off to the airport now...

It is sticky! But everyone

It is sticky! But everyone is enjoying the city in all its glory, and each other’s company, regardless of the melt factor. See you at the bar...

Ok, now that Miss Tiffany

Ok, now that Miss Tiffany has finished hijacking my computer I can remind everyone that tomorrow (that is Tuesday) we will be meeting around 8pm in the Bar Lobby at the Roosevelt. If you are in town already you have no excuse not to be there. All the cool kids are gonna be there. Don’t you want to be cool?

The Washington, DC area

The Washington, DC area makes New York feel like Arizona :-)
I am looking forward to NYC and the dryer climate.

Thai silk shirts, people. Bangkok makes NY feel like the Gobi.

But I’m sure you’ll still all have a blast! I’m envious...

Yucky - thanks guys - I imagine a few change of clothes will be necessary.

> how hot and sticky is it in the city right now?

I just stepped out to grab some lunch and I would deem the humidity right now somewhere between miserable and unbearable. And Wednesday is supposed to be even “better”. If you walk on the shaded side of the streets it ain’t that bad.

It’s been between 85 and

It’s been between 85 and 95 most days. VERY humid. (I melt in humidity.)

You can walk - it’s under

andi emery — Mon, 18 Jul 2005 08:09:52 -0700

You can walk - it’s under 2 miles and it’s a fairly scenic route. You can also take the subway - it’s a direct line. If you think you will be taking more subway than walking, you can invest in a 7 day pass, as well.

So New York typophiles - how hot and sticky is it in the city right now?

I’ll be in on Tuesday

emel — Mon, 18 Jul 2005 06:55:17 -0700

I’ll be in on Tuesday night too - I hope to see some people in the bar that night as well.

On a side note, not being a new yorker, what is the easiest way to get to parsons for the workshops? Walk? Bus? Subway?

Lauri, Thanks! it is made

dezcom — Mon, 18 Jul 2005 06:01:02 -0700

Lauri,

Thanks! it is made completely from glyphs of my typeface “Leporello” so it is my face made from my face. I am having T-shirts made but they may not be ready in time for TypeCon. :-(

Looks like I’ll be

Chris Rugen — Mon, 18 Jul 2005 04:56:49 -0700

Looks like I’ll be crashing in NYC Tuesday night, so I’ll be at the Roosevelt around 7–7:30. I’ll be wearing something type-related and red, ready to relax and toast hard work and a good time.

Chris, That’s a cute

Chris,

That’s a cute little icon you’ve crafted for yourself!

TypeCon2005: Who? When? What?

Miss Tiffany — Sat, 11 Jun 2005 10:13:41 -0700

Alright! Now the site is live and registration* available, let’s starting a running list of who’s going, when they are arriving/leaving, and what you hope to do/eat/see in the big apple!

Who: Me, myself and I, aka Miss Tiffany, Tiff, Tif, and to close friends and family, T.

When: I’m hitting the east coast the Friday before it all starts to hang out with an old friend and will arrive at the official conference hotel, The Roosevelt Hotel late Sunday night or Monday morning. I’ll be leaving, thoroughly satiated and happy, the following Monday.

What: I really hope to visit: The Chisholm Poster Gallery — The Metropolitan Museum of Art to see two of my favorite paintings by Pierre-Auguste Cot - The Storm and Springtime. But I can’t say no to the Lehman collection or anything from the PreRaphaelite era or the Dutch, hmm, or Kandinsky, or Caravaggio. Yikes. — MoMA to see the new changes in architecture. — But most of all, to see my friends at the conference whom are all just my type.
