This was being passed around Twitter today. It made me laugh and sums up a lot of bloggers (and books) I’ve read lately. I wish everyone would just admit things are shifting. Even, drastically shifting, would be fair. But traditional printed media isn’t going away. Though many of the traditional print media business models are. That’s where the excitement is!
Alphabet Drawers
File this under “W” for “I WANT”! I saw the fontastic Alphabet Drawers over on Freshome and had to share. How cool are these? I think they’d look great on the table by a reading chair or just about anywhere.
Hatch Show Print in Birmingham
Sadly, I have not been able to make it to Hatch Show Print. This pains me more than I can express here on my little site. But thanks to the Birmingham AIGA chapter, I get to enjoy Hatch Show Print coming to me!
Thursday, June 25th at Bottletree Cafe, Jim Sherraden will be there to show off and talk about letterpress, art and the Nashville shop that’s been in business since 1879.
The event is slated to run from 6p-8p. See you there!
Remains of the Day – the Musical
I found Kazuo Ishiguro‘s Remains of the Day by way of the Anthony Hopkins movie and then read the book. Both are fantastic and this book has long been a favorite of mine.
While, admittedly, I lack the vision that it takes to see this Booker Prize winner translate into a musical, I am very excited about more people discovering Ishiguro’s work. Who knows, maybe I’ll even get to see it one day.
