(See it from Canada, we have the best view.)

This is very true, partly because you see trees and parkways from the Canadian side and you see towers, casinos and Clifton Hill from The US side. (This is Niagara Falls in case anyone is still wondering). Both sides of the Falls have their charms and their downsides. A local guide of off the beaten path things to do on both sides of the US/CA border will be made available in the coming months.

Apparently there is a big

Apparently there is a big waterfall near Buffalo too. Some who have not seen it might be interested in a side trip. (See it from Canada, we have the best view.)

Of course, when you do see it, you will probably start to wonder if you turned off that tap back home.

We can sail across the border no problems. As long as none of you have Mexican citizenships.

Sorry was that a cheap blow? I LOVE YOU STATE OF NEW YORK!

The best thing about Buffalo is that it’s close to the Ontario wine trail. :-)

We should ask Marian Bantjes to design the identity! ;-)

And this is great because I was planning a New York trip in July anyway!

TypeCon2008 Buffalo

You are the first to hear it, outside of the official announcement on Saturday in Seattle. TypeCon2008 will be held in Buffalo, New York, July 16-20, 2008. Buffalo is home to our dear friends at P22 type foundry, is close to our great pals at the Type Club of Toronto, and is a city full of incredible architecture (thank you, Frank Lloyd Wright), the Roycrofters in the region, and a cultural renaissance suited to all appreciators of the fine arts, contemporary music, innovative architecture, and design. We are back at a Hyatt, which we loved in Boston, and look forward to a fantastic event in the Buffalo-Niagara region.
