Now that Typecon2004 has come to an end, I'm sure we all have a slew of photos - both of the events and of, well, you know, sock puppets, drunken escapades and that sort of thing. :ahem:

Post your image collection URLs here!

What I really need to find out is if James used the sock puppet to position the coaster, and if so was it the male or female sock puppet from the film festival. BTW, am I ever glad the plunger didn't make it back to me that night.

A thank you goes out to my trusty Type Con Conference Strike Teamers! Thanks for your help.

Hrant said (well, he meant):

But where's Dyana?

Yes, where am I?

The first license of Materot goes to the lucky person who gives me a *good* shot of my half-split. I am notoriously un-photogenic, so, goofy shots will only make me sad and less likely to dance at the next TypeCon, which is about the same time that I will have learned a newer, "much more awesome" move.


hrant

Dyana, if I could print the image seared in my brain I would, although I don't think they make photographic paper that's strong enough anyway.

Yves -- when she saw the Black Album she INSISTED she accompany me. She said she trusted me but she'd get really jealous if a drunk woman stuck her tongue in my ear.

If she'd been there she'd be one of the drunken cohorts of Zara, believe me. The stories I could tell...

What's most impressive is that I didn't even notice you had a camera.

Thanks again Hrant, I really appreciate it. Like I said over in the typographica thread, if anyone wants to reproduce them just give me credit and ask me for a high-res. The number one tip is to practice to be good enough with your camera to be able to use it in the dark while drunk.

TypeCon: Argyle socks and sweaty men.

Dyana, I don't know if there's a "much, more, awesome" move than the half-split though I think there's probably something "much, less, painful looking"

Thanks for the pics everyone. My camera ended up staying in my suitcase the entire time.

I have to echo the sentiment of meeting (and re-meeting) all of you. It is nice to hear the voice with the post(s). There were so many people this year, craziness quantified, but it was good. If nothing else, next year we need to make a more concerted effort to have a typophile lunch break.

Mr. Berlow, that is going down in the Best Quotes of Typophile. =)

For the record though, Ms. Weissman was really helpful,
productive and I'm sure she learned a lot and networked even
more. Curious how nobody seems to have photographed her
then. =)

As usual, fuzzy and tipsy are the hallmarks of typographic photography -- at least by my hand.

It was a great week. Lots of talk and info, fun, visuals, sonics; all that good stuff.

Hope you all can make it to NY next year!

Not many photos of the conference itself this year. A lot of them turned out blurry and dark. Still haven't got the hang of this new camera yet...

Andy, your photos are great. Most people with digital cameras tend to take lots of crappy shots and pay virtually no attention to composition, etc. But the few shots you took are all very carefully framed and captured the perfect moments. Great stuff!

Joe - good point. My networking skills are as fancy as my dance moves. Next time I will document it myself.

Jill - yay! Glad I could get you to post - finally, pictures where I am not captured looking like a fool. If no half-split surfaces, the license is yours, if you want it.

Yves - don't worry about the misspelling. But hooray for me indeed. *cough*buynobel*cough*

Lord of the Ring - thanks. But being pretty and being unphotogenic are two different things - I know how many photos people had to delete because I was blinking, or my mouth was hanging open catching flies, or just generally looking much worse in two dimensions than I do in three. But at any rate, prettiness has nothing to do with type. You should see me when I work. It's giant glasses, frizzy hair, and frumpy clothes all day long.

Now where is the picture of my split? Huh? HUH?!

This reminds me of something. I wonder if one of the networks, maybe Fox, would be interested in doing a reality TV show around TypeCon 2005, something like "Type and the City" - might end up something like this...

Actually, Fox already has something in the works, a show called "What Were You Thinking?!" in which Erik Spiekermann walks around and insults random people on the street. It was a bit of a tough sell until FontShop picked up a well-known coproducer, pictured below:

I know :-) I was being especially naughty, commenting on the little-
documented "feud" between DTL and FBI over the digitization of Nobel.
I kinda remember Andrea Fuchs (Just's girlfriend) and some other Dutch
designer(s) (Fred, Just?) handing out pamphlets promoting the then
unpublished DTL version with the fancy capitals and the random Type 3
"WiebelNobel" at some convention ten years ago.
They were also reacting against the FBI version as being a "non-Dutch
digitization".
