Seattle Splash & Dash

Hrant H Papazian

Being that it doesn’t rain enough over here, and being that said celestial aqua clearly has some impact on quality font development (how else to explain that Adobe and MS live there?) I’ve decided to take a trip up to Seattle, imminently. Actually my reasons are largely non-typographic, but of course any significant travel calls for the rousing of the local font freaks, so I’m hoping that some of you... Seattlenos are game. I will be free* at least this coming Friday night, probably Sunday morning, as well as possibly late Saturday night. And just maybe Thursday night, if you promise not to overly frighten the non—type-geeks (non-type—geeks?) I’ll be hanging out with at that time. Right. As you were.

* Requisite asterisk.

I don’t know about this. You think you can disappear for all of this time and then just pop back in thinking you’ll still have friends here? ;^)

Seattle is my favorite city in the US. If I didn’t have adorable nephews in this area then I’d live there in a heartbeat.
Until I get over my need to be near my family I’ll have to settle for visits a few times a year.

Have fun.

honk if you love the status quo

Where are you staying wheile in town? I can probably break free for a pint (or four) Friday night.

Cheers, Si
