graphic designers are geeks (and we like it that way...)

i live under a rock. but last night i found myself at a show in a pretty cool gallery (with a map of baltimore painted on the walls that i couldn't take my eyes off of...) called the current gallery. the baltimore music scene is something i don't really know a lot about (rock, remember.) but it's thriving. thriving enough for rolling stone to name baltimore the "best scene of 2008." and there are so so many places i haven't even been and bands i don't even know about. on the plus side, i have three more years here to find things out...

how did i end up out from under said rock? i was told that a band comprised of two gd faculty would be playing. which sounded enticing. and, no, unfortunately, it wasn't ellen lupton. but it was just as good: two totally geeky graphic designers, bruce willen and nolen strals, from the design group post typography. post typography is already amazing. but when i realized that they also had a band... i was impressed. i was joking when i asked if they played music about graphic design. they do. really loud music about graphic design. with screaming lyrics about graphic design. (the band is called double dagger. come on...) they were so entertaining to watch.

all i can says is... i can't wait to have these guys for experimental typography! so ridiculous.
