MadlyI thought it would only be appropriate to say goodbye (for now) to the Magnificent Maddy Nye. She has left us to travel with her feline around the world in a vegetable oil-powered van. Maddy was our first “real” (not make believe) employee and a thoughtful person. One of the things I admired about her is that she never seemed to question if she could do anything, she just did it and did it well. She is a true visionary and will probably hate this post so I will stop now with a quote and a link to her website all in one.

black slabbathYouWorkForThem just released the new typeface, Black Slabbath. There will be a release party at the notorious Hexagon Bar in Minneapolis with some ear-splitting metal. Kicking off their 2008 tour, the Birthday Suits will be opening the night and their world tour. Following is one of MN’s finest brutal bands, Building Better Bombs. Strut and Shock will finish the night. What other typeface could bring you this all-killer lineup?

Be there! February 29th, 10pm.

Hello everyone, coming in live from our Bangkok studio. We are working to update our blog this weekend, so you might run across some broken links and more garble. Basically we are testing this live over the weekend, working out all the bugs and such. But by Monday all should be smooth and looking much better. The goal is to break the blog free of the mother sites main design and format. This way we can bring you more posts in a much more focused format. Hope you enjoy and sorry for the mess right now!
