Even as a graphic designer, many of the font-related trivia questions that were part of the AIGA’s “The Type is RIght” game-show challenge were completely beyond me, but everyone was excited to support Andy and his colleagues Jonathan Hoefler and Sara Soskolne from Hoefler & Frere-Jones as they blazed the road to victory. A nerdalicious evening, it was amusing to explain the few of the designey inside-jokes that weren’t over my head to the bewildered non-designer friends among us: “Uh, why did everyone just laugh?” “OMG, because the guy on the opposing team designed the font that the question is about, HAHAHA!” In an effort to bring sportsfan-like enthusiasm to a geeky event, Brian and Suzette even went so far as to create a set of brilliant signs for our cheering section. Standouts include “HELVETICA SUCKS” (set in arial) and “Corona and Wingdings” (mmm, wingdings).

The making of my lab rat hat at the House of Yes. Thanks so much to Laura Clark for her superawesome sewing skills! Do you want to make something costumetacular but don’t have a studio full of sewing machinery? Only sortakinda/notreally know how to sew and could use some guidance? Know your way around a Singer but prefer to work in the company of like-minded folks? Just want to hang out in a crazy room full of scraps of glittery fabric and monster heads and an explosion of feathers and trimming and pins and needles and buttons and fake eyeballs? Check out the Make Fun Studio at the House of Yes in Bushwick, Brooklyn on the first Tuesday of every month. A fee of 10 bucks covers assistance and access to sewing machines, thread, fabric, scissors and a variety of material to help you create customized costumes, clothes, curtains, puppets, pants, parasols, stuffed animals, capes, or anything else you can imagine. See the schedule of ongoing events for other fun stuff you can participate in at the House of Yes. www.houseofyes.org
