a documentary film by Gary Hustwit is touring the country and I missed the first viewing but now it's time for the second coming.

i feel like such at typography geek, excited by this to the point of ____, well i'll let you fill in the blank. yet i would be even more excited if I could inure this blog entry was in Helvetica for all.

Here's some more info:
Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which is celebrating its 50th birthday this year) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives. Helvetica is currently screening at film festivals, museums, design conferences, and cinemas worldwide, followed by the DVD release. Get more info about the film... www.helveticafilm.com/about.html

Perseid Meteor Shower - Sunday night at 11pm PT

According to the best estimates, this year Earth is predicted to cut
through the densest part of the Perseid stream sometime around 2 a.m. ET
on Monday. That corresponds to 11 p.m. PT Sunday for those living in the
western United States or Canada. (8 p.m. EST)

The interval when the meteors will be falling at their highest rates
will likely last several hours or more on either side of these times.

As a result, it is the late-night hours Sunday, on through the first
light of dawn Monday, that holds the greatest promise of seeing a very fine
Perseid display.

The moon, whose bright light almost totally wrecked last year's shower,
will have zero impact this year. The moon will be new on Sunday, meaning that
there will be no interference from it at all.

i don't know if it will happen it's just that i have been talking about it for month's now and i feel i must give it a decent try. this is the concept image for the mutant vehicle that with fingers crossed will grace the playa this year. The dream will include lots of lights and the sounds of BRBC 99.1 all solar powered radio.

Support 4 the gifts you have received

So as it turns out the Conexus Cathedral from Burning Man 2006 is still working to recoup costs. The project was a wonderful success attracting international attention and even showing up on satellite imagery. There were over 20 weddings and a fabulous dance events!

They still need to raise $7k to cover some unexpected last minute expenses primarily related to safety and structural integrity that were not optional. The structure could not have happened had this money not been spent.

So if you enjoyed this structure and want to help please consider making a tax deductible donation before the end of the year. It would really be appreciated and enable them to move forward toward BM 2007.

luv the hugs

hugs might possibly be one of my favorite things in the world. And yet for many years i repressed it. Unsure of the others comfort with physical touch. now i try to let it roam free and even have different styles for different people or interactions.

but i haven’t tried this and it sure does look like a fun thing to try some afternoon. an exercise in openness perhaps or of giving to those you don't even know.

So here's to hugs all around . . .
