60 things I will miss about Rochester – #1
November 1, 2009 · Leave a Comment
In sixty days, I’ll be back in my home & native land (“arrhomeanatiflaaaaand” -robyn singing O Canada, c. 1986) and there is a lot of stuff this stuffmaker is gonna miss about my adopted home in upstate (or western, depending on your audience) NY.
Number one, in no particular order:
The news from Lake Wobegon with second pot of coffee, staring at my computer screen and watching peripheral Oxford street from my second story window.

i heart this place - found on some wall, somewhere i should have noted instead of just snapping a mobile phone shitty pic of it on May 29, 09
Will try to keep the countdown rolling. We’ll see.

Tomorrow will you drive around this town, and let the cops chase us around?

While drinking my morning coffee & trying to figure out how to fix my Realistic MTA-8 radio (which cost $2.99 at a goodwill) so I can listen to public radio… I came across goodwill’s online store. Yikes. Bookmark & close. Bookmark & close. Bookmark & close.

Awesome. I wish I had time to spend the weekend in Toronto.
I wonder when Rochesterhenge is…
Here is a link for the curious.

I believe in Mr. Eaves
October 20, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I was complaining about the sudden ubiquity of Mrs. Eaves (really *pretty* serif typeface), and yes, it was one of those indie-snob complaints that might be better placed in HIgh Fidelity music-dork territory than font-dork territory.
And now –Zuzana Licko at Emigre brings us — MR. Eaves! He’s pretty too, but hopefully not so distinct that he stands out in a crowd. A strong, silent, slightly dickish Don Draper typeface.
Thanks for the head’s up Jim.
Do you have another opinion?

If only Rochester landlords were this forward thinking…
Landlords Turn to Artists to Fill Empty Commercial Spaces – NYTimes.com.
Here is the Craigslist ad I posted at the beginning of September:
“Difficulty renting your storefront? Call me to help — for free!
Rochester, NY, downtown/NOTA, etc
Hello realtors and building owners,Are you having trouble filling your rental space? Does it have a street facing storefront? You need to give it some curb appeal!
I am a student and artist who makes photographs of vintage, historic, interesting architecture and social landscapes.
I am available to cover your rental space walls with professionally framed photography while the property waits for a new tenant. For no charge. Yes, I said no charge.My only request would be to hold a small opening reception in the space and have it open to the public for 5 days. I would sit in the space and show it off to anyone interested, in the art or the square footage.
I could install the work anytime after November 1st.”
I received no responses. None.
Maybe if I was tacky Kenny Scharf…
