5) version/select media
6) reckless/grammaphone/dave's in one afternoon
7) dog beach.
8) inexpensive middle eastern food

I had a hard time adjusting to a different season schedule when I lived in the south. It made me crazy when it was November and still warm.

Jeez Louise. 2 1/2 hour meetings -- dud.

I have Nino Rota movie music in my iPod. I will sooth myself with this while I sit here and work some more. I will try not to think about how I get no Labor Day weekend at all. Not even one day, much less three.

What? Why?

I would not like to live in Hawaii. If I lived in Hawaii you would hear me say "Wah" for sure. Of course I have never been, but I've never conditioned my hair with dog poop either, and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like that. The difference being that while I would not enjoy even trying a dog poop creme rinse, I think I might enjoy a visit to Hawaii.

Southern Decadence. This year's theme (as in every other single year, and every night on the corner of Bourbon and St. Ann): Pectorials on Parade.

That 2nd picture is so fucking cute!

No weekend: because there's a big event next week (don't make me explain, plz), and marketing does everything at the last possible minute.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 1 September 2006 23:11 (eighteen years ago) link

Overtime?

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 1 September 2006 23:13 (eighteen years ago) link

Do I have to register for this poop board?

― Jeff, Friday, 1 September 2006 23:17 (eighteen years ago) link

guess not. I'm bored.

Jeff, I used Futura as the font for my name and address on my business cards. Do you approve?

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 1 September 2006 23:26 (eighteen years ago) link

That won't open. Is that Crispin Glover on Letterman? Cuz if so, buddy, that's good TV.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 1 September 2006 23:29 (eighteen years ago) link

No, it's the trailer for his new film. Which everyone should go with me to see.

― Jeff, Friday, 1 September 2006 23:29 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't know, I'd have to see the card.

― Jeff, Friday, 1 September 2006 23:30 (eighteen years ago) link

OK.

Here's Crispin Glover on Letterman.

But really, for most business cards, I like the classic serif typefaces.

― Jeff, Friday, 1 September 2006 23:33 (eighteen years ago) link

i met a guy at a party last weekend who moved here from chicago. his wife loves it here and he wouldn't stop whining about how much he missed chicago. all i could think was "please god do not let me turn into this guy."

― grady (grady), Friday, 1 September 2006 23:41 (eighteen years ago) link

I wanted sans serif, but a more serious one.

Which serif fonts do you like?

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Friday, 1 September 2006 23:53 (eighteen years ago) link

The card will have this logo

ihttp://iwj.org/images/logo.gif

Plus my name, address, phone, email, website. (No title since I'm not too sure what my title is. Maybe Jenny could help me with that. When cornered on a sign-up sheet I wrote "Acting Director")

this is a good list. I've always loved Caslon. I've probably used Garamond more though.

― Jeff, Friday, 1 September 2006 23:58 (eighteen years ago) link

I can't work with that logo.

― Jeff, Friday, 1 September 2006 23:58 (eighteen years ago) link

It's the only logo I got. It's a little hippyish though.

Jeff, I used Futura as the font for my name and address on my business cards. Do you approve?

Why teh heck do you ask Jeff and not me?

And yes, thanks, I do approve. I used Futura earlier today, actually. The building we're promoting is an old art deco number, so I felt it appropriate. I went with a demi-bold, spaced at about +50%. Niiice.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Saturday, 2 September 2006 00:24 (eighteen years ago) link

But really, for most business cards, I like the classic serif typefaces.

OTM, really. But I like Futura.

Jeff's right, though, about the logo being very, very bad. With that, I don't think it matters what font you use, it's going to look like a card with a horror of a logo on it.

(But sans-serif is probably better.)

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Saturday, 2 September 2006 00:27 (eighteen years ago) link

Srsly, it looks like you're advertising a pre-school for wood carving.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Saturday, 2 September 2006 00:29 (eighteen years ago) link

What you need for a logo is this, yo:

I've always loved Caslon.

Conveniently, a really nice cut of it comes with Adobe CS!

I've probably used Garamond more though.

Yawn. You and everybody else, since Apple used it in their logo.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Saturday, 2 September 2006 00:32 (eighteen years ago) link

(My own company also uses it in their logo. It's bolded and italicized and unrecognizable and unspeakable.)

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Saturday, 2 September 2006 00:36 (eighteen years ago) link

Serif:
Bodoni
Minion
Zapf Humanist

Sans:
Optima
Zurich (Extra Black if you've got it. The best!)

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Saturday, 2 September 2006 07:25 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh, I like Skia too.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Saturday, 2 September 2006 07:28 (eighteen years ago) link

I can't do Optima anymore, just because it's the Planned Parenthood font, so it makes me think of condoms. I like "Extra Black" sans fonts. Frutiger, Univers, and the classic Futura.

This is on my corkboard at work. Which is where I am, BTW.

Solar Anus rocks.

― Jeff, Saturday, 2 September 2006 17:59 (eighteen years ago) link

Kenan, I asked Jeff because he's a big font geek. I didn't know you were too, but I am 100% certain of it now.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Saturday, 2 September 2006 20:46 (eighteen years ago) link

You'll find a lot of these quasi-primitive, aboriginal culturey woodcuts if you spend much time in worker justice offices.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Saturday, 2 September 2006 20:49 (eighteen years ago) link

Happy labor day, comrades!

I went to Jewel without a bra on this morning. It's the dawning of a new area of grocery shopping while inappropriately dressed.

Man alive, Jeff cleaned all the cat hair out of his keyboard yesterday and it types like a dream now. That's kind of disgusting.

Hey are we here or on the other ILX? I'm lost and a little bit confused.

― jenny (pullapartgirl), Monday, 4 September 2006 16:37 (eighteen years ago) link

one month passes...

yay

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 16 October 2006 12:49 (eighteen years ago) link

AAAHHHHhhhhh. That's more like it.

― Laurel, Monday, 16 October 2006 12:56 (eighteen years ago) link

What? What's more like it? ILX IS STILL DOWN!

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 16 October 2006 13:08 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, but at least we can bitch about it here!

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 16 October 2006 13:11 (eighteen years ago) link

If ILX being down had got you down, calm yourself with the soothing sounds of Robbie Dupree: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qyzlWRbCtU

Greetings patriots. Armando Grouse, at your service, offering a full apology to Laurel for not being able to hang with her this weekend. I was busy dancing my feet off and losing my digital camera. :(((
