Commentary

out of context & off-topic

Joshua Lurie-Terrell on June 7, 2004

Just a quick note to apprise you all of one of my new projects — MoCo San Francisco, a city design directory offshoot of Harry Wakefield’s wonderful MoCo Loco. You may now return to your previously-scheduled typography.

    Wow! Congratulations JLT!

  2. Marc Oxborrow says:

    Looks like useful stuff!

    (I *do* have a hard time getting past the fact that “moco” is slang for “snot” in Spanish.)

  3. Hrant says:

    That’s not as bad as SOTA… :-/

    Joshua, go get ‘em!

    Also – if anyone is interested in helping me start up a collaborative weblog ala Typographica, but dealing with Arts & Crafts styles (i.e. craftsman, prairie, mission architecture, design, philosophy, etc.), please email.

  6. I don’t know, Hrant, seems like SOTA is at least fair game for a song tribute a la “Lola”: “S-O-T-A SOTA, so-so-so-so-SO-TA…”

    Congrats, JLT!

    I *do* have a hard time getting past the fact that “moco” is slang for “snot” in Spanish

    …and “loco” is “crazy”, so… crazy snot?

    :-D

    Looks really great, Joshua!

  8. Petie and Ruth says:

    Congratulations Josh! The Mocoloco site looks great!

  9. Infernauta says:

    Oba! Glad to see typographi*.* up & running!
    While ye can tell I didn’t lie about the ambiguous URL, methinks the snot thing is (uh…) getting out of hand!
    Hear me now CLEVERPANTALONES! ‘Twas deliberate: the efficacy of contemporary-designed furniture as shelter for green-stalactites is veritably UNRIVALED!!!

    aaAh-TCHOO()0oo!
