The event is being held in conjunction with the book launch of Lettering & Type, by Bruce Willen and Nolen Strals of Post Typography. Twenty-six local, national, and internationally-based designers and artists give a two-minute ode to an alphabet letter or typographic character, and we’ll be talking about the letter Y.

We wish our summer intern Zack Seuberling best of luck with future endeavors. Zack, we’ve learned a lot from you, and we hoped you’ve learned something from us.

Among Zack’s Words of Wit and Wisdom:
“Rule #1: Stay Positive”—truer now than ever.
“Hot dogs certainly aren’t for everybody”—fact, not fiction.
“No blood, no foul— that’s all you need to know to play street ball”—no explanation necessary.

A toast to you, Zack, the man, the legend. We may have forced you to blog and join Twitter, but as you put it yesterday, “who knew after three months in New York I’d been eating dinner with Karel Martens and singing karaoke with Project Projects?” Future interns, you’ve got some pretty big shoes to fill.

Please join Rumors & Adapted on Friday, July 31st, as we celebrate our new studio space — and Rumors’ first year in business. Music by DJ FUN MONEY aka Chambay Hombre aka Fit for Use aka Drew Heffron.

Friday, July 31 at 7pm
177 N 10th St, Studio A (between Bedford and Driggs)
Subway: L train to Bedford Ave

Exciting News: Starting next week we’ll be in our new studio space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn which we’re thrilled to share with our friends at Adapted. We’ve spent this past weekend giving the new space a few coats of paint and a lot of love (see above) in preperation for the big move. Stay tuned for details on our first ever offical Rumors studio party, which we’ll throw once we’ve settled in.

Friends, Colleagues, and others who read our blog:

Andy, Holly and I at Rumors are all thrilled to have an intern working with us again this summer. This summer we’re welcoming Zack Seuberling who will be coming in all the way from Ohio. We know many of you have employees/freelancers/interns who might also be new to town, and this would be a great way to everyone to meet each other, and make new friends for the summer. There are also a few of you we haven’t seen in a while, and it would be great to grab a drink and catchup. We also think it would be fun. Everybody loves fun. Hopefully you can join us after your work day on Wed. June 3rd at the Magician to have a drink. Please invite your interns, freelancers, friends.

Wednesday, June 3rd 7-9pm
at The Magician
118 Rivington St., near Essex St

See you soon,
Renda
