Typecon2004 Photos
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.

I have a lot - mostly of drunken typographers frolicking. Up tomorrow. Until then, maybe Zara will share some of her masterpieces?
26.Jul.2004 10.55am
We are still trying to decide what to do with the plunger
26.Jul.2004 12.49pm
I love this secret 'we-were-there-talk.' It reminds that I should have been there... Looking forward to the pics!
A thank you goes out to my trusty Type Con Conference Strike Teamers! Thanks for your help.

My photos will go up soon
26.Jul.2004 4.34pm
Me also.
26.Jul.2004 9.04pm
Update: Since the initial post, I have moved the photos to a new server
26.Jul.2004 9.07pm
Wee!
26.Jul.2004 9.13pm
Samba!
26.Jul.2004 9.15pm
whew, what a week. I'm exhausted, I'll post my photos tomorrow
26.Jul.2004 11.07pm
Great pix, Zara!
27.Jul.2004 7.40am
Zara, good shots. But where's Dyanna?
hhp
27.Jul.2004 7.49am
Wow, it's so great to see Typophiles all happy and hanging out. Reminds me that all of this is more than just words on the web. Perhaps in the future I'll be able to join you. 'Til then, cheers!
27.Jul.2004 10.26am
Here are a few more, at my dad's .mac account:
27.Jul.2004 11.02am
I've also posted these not-so-dirty pictures that Zara supplied - a bit too racy for her own album.
27.Jul.2004 11.09am
Oh yeh
27.Jul.2004 11.18am
Gee whiz. These are going to seem really boring now. :-)
27.Jul.2004 11.30am
oh no! i've been laughing so hard my tummy hurts. great pics. i never did find the blue bunny that night.
27.Jul.2004 11.46am
Ouch. Now I officially regret being knocked out.
And you're saying there's a secret Level-3 beyond that stuff...
Finally, I have a mission in life.

Mark, what's with all those photos with fonts in them?

27.Jul.2004 11.53am
Mark, what's with all those photos with fonts in them?
Well, it was a type conference. I had to take some pictures of type. :-)
27.Jul.2004 2.16pm
Yay, the picz in the Black Album kick some major booty, JLT!

These remind me of our fans after one of our gigs.
Zara, is it possible to add captions puh-leaze. I don't know
half the people on your pictures.
27.Jul.2004 2.33pm
Yves, once I get the time I will make a prettier page with captions, I just haven't had the time yet. Soon, I promise.
27.Jul.2004 2.36pm
I just checked your collection, Mark, and I didn't find them
boring at all. In fact it's one of the more interesting series.
Just a disconcerting lack of drunk boob-grabbing, that's all.
27.Jul.2004 2.41pm
THX Zara, you rule (especially on the dance-floor I noticed).
Tres R'n'R my dear.
27.Jul.2004 2.55pm
I'm printing these out to convince my wife to come to NY2005!
27.Jul.2004 3.02pm
Well, my wife just viewed the infamous Black Album and now
she won't let me go to NYC2005!
27.Jul.2004 3.06pm
> to convince my wife
?
Wow - lucky guy...
hhp
27.Jul.2004 4.05pm
Zara Evens took all of those - not me. I was having too good of a time to document those particular moments. Just kidding!
27.Jul.2004 4.17pm
Well, technically I didn't take them because I was in all of them
27.Jul.2004 5.50pm
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.
27.Jul.2004 5.57pm
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.
hhp
27.Jul.2004 6.20pm
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...
27.Jul.2004 9.08pm
More photos from TypeCon!
Awesome socks, Dyana
27.Jul.2004 9.17pm
Good grief. I slept 4 hours the night before. I wasn't thinking clearly when I put on those socks.
27.Jul.2004 9.35pm
Andy, those shots are jaw-dropping. Some are nearly magical.
What's most impressive is that I didn't even notice you had a camera.
Oh, and even without the half-split I think you deserve the Materot.

27.Jul.2004 10.21pm
Wow, looks like one hell of a party!
28.Jul.2004 12.10am
Mine are here.

> Wow, looks like one hell of a party!

ATypI gatherings suddenly seem really boring...
28.Jul.2004 12.41am
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.
28.Jul.2004 12.59am
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"

Well, hoping ATypI will be in stay in Europe for 2005, Yves... maybe being on home soil will make a difference? ;)
28.Jul.2004 2.08am
I think we should have a TypeCon Photo Contest with different
categories and put up a gallery on Typophile. There are some
amazing/fun/beautiful shots in there. Whaddayaguysthink?
There I go all competitive again...
28.Jul.2004 2.51am
Gah, now I'm really regretting my lack of money. Looks like I missed a hell of a party!
28.Jul.2004 7.43am
Great shots, Andy.
28.Jul.2004 9.22am
man. i have a spread i'm doing fr my student publication, and it seems like i might have been the only one around still in school. it'll look good.. i promise. hi i'm davy, i'm sure no one saw me. .heh. if i knew that party was so banging, i might have showed up and not gone back to work.
28.Jul.2004 9.28am
MY STAFF HAD BETTER GET WORKING ON THOSE TRIP REPORTS, OR THEYE'RE ALL GOING STRAIGHT TO THE FLEET CENTER! YOU HEAR! ;~)
28.Jul.2004 9.59am
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.
28.Jul.2004 10.50am
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. =)
28.Jul.2004 4.54pm
Mr. Berlow, great meeting you here! It's been too long (Berlin,
Welcome to Typophile!
Fuse 95 I think)
28.Jul.2004 6.14pm
Great pictures, Andy!
28.Jul.2004 7.44pm
Yet another gallery here:

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!
30.Jul.2004 10.02am
My photos are finally up:

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!

Another wonderful convention. I look forward to meeting even more of you in NYC next summer. The world feels smaller each year.

It's where the tourists go to think they're in Italy. You know, red&white tablecloths, chianti, Mexican waiters recast as Italians, all the traps.

Okay Dyana. You got me to stop being a lurker AND post my TypeCon photos (even though the two of you are fuzzy...bus bounce).

Hurray for Diana: welcome aboard, Jill. We hope your enjoy

your stay as an active poster. You might start to like it after
a while...
Jan, found any good trousers yesterday? The ones I chose
are way kewl.
1.Aug.2004 9.56pm
It's great seeing everyone's pictures...catching things I missed
and seeing different points of view (don't want to know any more
about the plunger though).
Jan, you got some great shots...of Tiffany & Dyana...
of Ed getting the goblet...of the nut orchard.
And those are wonderful titles too, a great play on words.

You're pretty. Also Jill Bell.)

and for misspelling "for"?
:-)
2.Aug.2004 2.31pm
Double-argh... Oh how I love making a fool of myself.
2.Aug.2004 2.46pm
Hrant - thanks!
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?!
2.Aug.2004 3.25pm
*cough*you mean this one?*cough*

"But at any rate, prettiness has nothing to do with type." --- so what type of person are you?

2.Aug.2004 3.54pm
My TypeCon photos are almost ready for posting - until then,

here's a sample to whet your appetite...
2.Aug.2004 4.17pm
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...

2.Aug.2004 4.32pm
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:

2.Aug.2004 4.35pm
Right away.....Simon. But maybe "City Type". And only if you're going to ask Mr. Gates for commercials.
The Lord of The Ring
2.Aug.2004 4.43pm
Probably couldn't use the word "CITY" in conjunction with "TYPE" without a lawsuit.
{evil grin}
2.Aug.2004 4.49pm
Tiffany,
I love that.
2.Aug.2004 4.52pm
No problem. we drop the "law". and "city". --> "Type Suitor" or "The Suitor".
The Lord of The Ring
2.Aug.2004 11.10pm
I know
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".
Tiffalicious will you marry me?
Oh yeah, that's right, I AM already married. Oh well (sigh)...
5.Aug.2004 1.35pm
I took this picture on Market street with Jorge's camera:

Hrant, with all these new photos, can you update your typophile icon thing.
I knew that was an old pic beacuse you have mentioned it, but now I've seen what you look like now its disconcerting reading a post with that old image next to it.

Hrant - nice result. What do you use - Gillette Sensor? Mach 3?

However, if anyone has any embarassing photos of the dancing diva Dyana, let's see them! (please don't retract the license offer!)
