Eagle Eyes And A New Door Gets Installed

June 03, 2007

Bradley Dicharry of the University of Iowa School of Art ("Y'know, Go Hawkeyes.") sent in the Barber shop use of Futura Heavy. Here's what he had to say, "Definitely hand drawn—on top of an old sign no less." Thanks man. Good eye, good eye.- - - -The big news for the day is the installation of a new side door. Pretty excited. We went with the "Barbarian Gate 3000" which uses a foot thick hunk of deadwood to brace the door at all times. No more fucking around. Installed by the good people of Edelen door.Our old door: "The sad, old days."Our new door: "A new beginning."- - - -Jon Baugh gets in on the action over at This Day In Type. Real Good. Many levels of greatness.- - - -Weekend documentary: Dead Moon and their Dark Passage.- - - -Loving the new upgrade to Adobe Creative Suite 3. Real serious about this stuff, so, we appreciate the optimization and details. And, the new icons are a nice change.- - - -Trying like hell to get to Tennesee in a couple weeks to see those Lips. A client has a tent there, so, there's a chance I could slither in to catch some Lips. When I saw them on New Year's, I was stone cold sober. Fuck that shit. I'm getting hammered in Tennessee. The only way to do it. Getting loaded should be a magical thing. It ain't that big a deal, and, should be shared with big moments. Our way.A lesser known, but great Flaming Lips song: "Satellite of You."
