March 15, 1979.

That’s the “Ides of March” for those who love your ancient Roman history. Another one of the small reasons why I am so crazy. Beware.

The International Day of Protest, of course - June 18.
Specifically, 1968. Hours after Cassandre took his life.

hhp

twin snakes here: june 5, 1977

Mmm... mine is June 18th as well.
International Day of Protest makes a lot of sense to (for) me.

One more gemini listing: May 31st, 1965.

I couldn’t be more typographically irrelevant, but: Sept 12, 1978

I obviously win the Geezer prize so far :-)

Tiff, do you want to re-collect dates that are already on the calendar? I am assuming that you are just building off the current collection.

I would also like to volunteer to help maintain the calendar, should the need arise.

yes, Grant, I think we’ll just add to the current calendar. there are some mistakes/errors/problems on it and I’ve told Jared about our willingness to help. if anyone has subscribed the typophile calendar and notices errors please point those out too.

It’s very possible I might be the youngest on here: 8/31/84

me: January 16, 1980
which is “National Nothing Day”

This un-event was created by newspaperman Harold Pullman Coffin and was first observed in 1973. The goal of National Nothing Day is “to provide Americans with one national day when they can just sit without celebrating, observing, or honoring anything.”

I feel special!!

Sept. 25... Libras rule!

Pisces!!!

Marnie,
We have the same birthday! Well, give or take a few decades. I really like the “National Nothing Day” thing—now I feel special too.

ChrisL

I have to agree with Shu, Pisces Rule!!!!

I’d be willing to bet that Eric Gill and Giambattista Bodoni would also agree with us.

“It’s very possible I might be the youngest on here: 8/31/84”

Gah. I wear running shoes and have operational computers older than some of you kids...

“Running shoes...”

Running shoes? You got Running shoes? I’ve got sneakers (as in U.S. Keds high-tops with a rubber circle on the ankle bone). I’ve got stuff in my refrigerater older than you :-)

ChrisL

FWIW, mine is November 13 (as in Friday the), 1970.

Ine! :-) I’m not surprised, considering your two-faced font...

hhp

Running shoes are Canadian. Sneakers are US o’ A.

All of my “running shoes” (including the 25-year old ones) are Converse Chuck Taylor’s.

Keds can only dream of being Chucks when they grow up.

As for your refrigerator, my condolences.

“Keds can only dream of being Chucks when they grow up”

Sorry Grant, only the rich kids got Converse in my neighborhood and their wern’t any :-)

August 3, 1980.. I mean 1970.

My delivery date: May 12. 1956 (04.40 hrs CET)

Chris, we must celebrate the celebration of not celebrating anything on National Nothing Day.

;)

”...celebrate the celebration of not celebrating anything on National Nothing Day.”

That’s a deal! Mark it on your calendar :-)

ChrisL

First born in NYC on Fathers Day, June 15, 1947.
My 15 minutes of fame came when I was announced on WNYE and it’s been downhill ever since.

Yes, I’m old, but I’m back from vacation!

Norbert has me beat by a little. ;)

Kyle,
I have copies of U&lc older than you are.

Yes, I’m old, but I’m back in style!

Hey, I share my birthday with Peter Saville (October 9). But mine is in ’67.

Does anyone have an interesting progression of their birthdate, like January, 23, 1945 (1-23-45) or March 21, 1954 (54.3.21)?

Norbert,
I graduated from Carnegie Mellon (Carnegie Tech at the time) on 6-6-66 and have had the Devil to pay ever since :-)

ChrisL

My index in the MyFonts database is 666.
Laurence swears it was a coincidence. Blasphemy.

Sorry to disappoint you bud, but I might be even younger than you. ;) December 4th 1985.

Hey Tiff... as long as you’re compiling dates, I noticed that David Carson’s birthday (today) is in the calendar as a timed event, rather than a ’all-day’ event. Just something to tidy up while you’re under the hood.

Yeah. I noticed that also, Grant. I’m still waiting for the keys though.

Gotcha.

Matthew Carter’s is kerflunky as well (October 2nd).

July 4, 1966. There’s always a big party.

;D

November 28,1972

Oooh second youngest, so far: 07.15.1985

Does that make me the oldest Geezer so far?

“Does that make me the oldest Geezer so far?”

You beat me by 13 months :-)

Now I feel like a young wipper-snapper again :-D

ChrisL

HAPPY BIRTHDAY John Minardi!!!

ChrisL

Thanks Chris... I was a little disappointed that my apex hasn’t transcended my x-height since last year, but such is life.

Don’t worry John, you don’t have to be tall in the body to fit well—some say it is an advanmtage :-)

December 13, 2004 - I bought FontLab version 4

André, at one year old you speak 2 languages and can read and write! Very impressive :-)

>André, at one year old you speak 2 languages and can read and write! Very impressive :-)

Thank you Chris. Your message supports me to begin to learn to walk... and to continue my Migration

“Your message supports me to begin to learn to walk… and to continue my Migration”

LOL! Just one step at a time André :-)

Still an active topic as we all still have birthdays. Any more that need adding? Also, if you’ve seen dates that were incorrect please let us know.

ok: a pisces, march 8 (international woman’s day; sandwiched I was between two sisters, one a year older to the month, the other a year younger to the month, both of whom could beat me up until I reached my current cap height; father of three daughters: no wonder I am sensitive to lateral interference and crowding in the visual wordform resolution domain), 1951

me: August 19

02.28.56 Another Pisces. Good to see I’m not the oldest1

I share it with James Joyce, Ayn Rand, Graham Nash, Farrah Fawcett, Holly Hunter, Liz Smith, Christie Brinkley, Mary Steenburgen, and somebody named Shakira (I’m too old to know who she is but I bet you youngsters do)

Sid Vicious died on my birthday.
