Cinema Eye Honors this Sunday in NYC

If you’re anywhere near New York City this weekend, and if you live/eat/sleep documentary films (and I know you do) you’d better be at the Cinema Eye Honors this Sunday night. The awards recognize outstanding artistic achievements in nonfiction filmmaking, and the attendee list is star-studded: Oscar-winner Man on Wire’s James Marsh and Philippe Petit, Morgan Spurlock, Laurie Anderson, Jehane Noujaim, documentary legends DA Pennebaker and Albert Maysles, and dozens more.

I’ve got one word for you: historic. Be there.

Welcome to my (Helvetica) world…

You know when you tell someone you like robots, or toy cars, or whatever, and then every year people keep giving you robots or car-related gifts? And after a few years you’ve got a bookshelf full of tchotchkes? Here’s what I got in the mail today:

Okay, presents are awesome (thanks Co!), but… what in the world am I going to do with 20 different sized Helvetica note pads??? (I might actually use the Moleskine though…) And this is just the tip of the typographic iceberg, my friends. My life is getting taken over by this stuff. I’ve got boxes and boxes of Helvetica-related merch piling up around here: t-shirts, posters, skateboards…

I might have to hold a Helvetica-related rummage sale soon…

Experimental Jetset at the Walker Art Center

If you’re in Minneapolis/St. Paul, you need to go to this tonight. And if you’re not in the Twin Cities, you can watch it live on the web, from 7pm to 9pm, CST. Snuggle up with your laptop and watch some serious Dutch punk rock modernists in action. It might be a lecture, or maybe they’ll just sit on stage and spin records? You never know with the Jetset…
