OK. TypeCon's over for now. Who's going to ATypI?

At this point if you’re going to Brighton for ATypI you probably have your plans made. Who’s going, where are you staying, what are you going to eat?

I am, too (hello everyone, I’m new-ish around here!). Haven’t booked anything yet.

I cannot go this year but I hope folks will write about the substance of what they encounter over there. I am very interested!

On a related note: All the threads here on Typecon have been just dandy but I think it would have been cool to have had somebody blogging about the content. Maybe there was and I just haven’t seen it yet.

Blogs I found...

Thanks Guys!

Oh thank heavens for this thread! I couldn’t make it to TypeCon, and every time a TypeCon discussion item came up in an other Typophile thread (I avoided all the explicitly TypeCon-related topics), I had to hide under my desk. Now I can think about brighter things, like, err… Brighton, where I
