HOWCon Rocked!

Our tired crew got home from the HOW Conference late last night. We had such a great time. The Hyatt Regency was such a great venue, the program was super strong, the party at the Georgia Aquarium may have been the best in HOW history and everyone seemed so pleased. Our honorary staffers, who help us introduce sessions, were all great pals so it was fun to catch up with them. The food at the Food Studio and South City kitchen was fabulous. And did I mention that closing party? Seriously, if you ever get the chance to go to the Georgia Aquarium, don't pass it up. We saw the coolest stuff there. Here are some photos of our trip. And just so you're not confused, the party was called the "Descenders Ball," so everyone was supposed to dress as something type-related.

Congrats on what looks to have been an awesome event! I love the typeface-themed party. What were some of the other costumes? (If I had gone, I would have written B-O-L-D across my cheeks!)

P.S. Seeing you and Megan dressed up made me flash back to two things: the Halloween when we were the human incarnation of the "Hey, Diddle Diddle" nursery rhyme and that time we had to dress in 1940s attire, and Megan was Hercule Poirot (sp?).

There were a lot of cool costumes: good and bad Times, all caps, font pirate, madlibs, PDF, Hell-vetica, press type, several other typefaces, etc. You can see some of the pics on the HOW blog (just scroll down a bit): http://www.howdesign.com/blog/
