Maybe you’re looking for the 2015 Levee Schedule?

Here’s is the 2014 levee schedule for January 1, 2014 for Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island and area. This is the 9th year I’ve been collating and confirming this information; who would have thought! If you’re new to all of this and want to give it a try, read How to Levee. If you have additional levees to add, or changes to the information below, please drop me a line. Confirmed times and locations in bold: everything else is tentative and awaiting confirmation.

If you’re looking for a handy printable schedule to carry around in your pocket, you can grab one here.

I maintain websites that are visited by millions of people every month, but nothing gives me greater creative satisfaction more than seeing my coffee bags filled with coffee for sale on the shelf at ROW142:

Here’s the stack of 75 two-colour ROW142 coffee bags I printed up yesterday. They’re in the shop now, ready for your take-home-a-pound-of-coffee pleasure.

The autofocus on my Geeksphone Peak creates an interesting effect when confronted with the cycling of my Golding Jobber № 8 letterpress.

The building at the north-west corner of University and Kent in downtown Charlottetown has been empty for as long as I can remember. When we first moved here, 20 years ago, it was home to both CFCY and Sam the Record Man, and as such a sort of musical nexus; since they both moved out it’s been getting evermore eyesore every year. Reports are that the inside is even worse.

But this week, all of a sudden, the modern exterior – plaster and aluminum siding – is being peeled off and the old brick facing revealed. It’s in sorry shape – missing bricks, missing windows, painted white – but perhaps it will rise again as a grand old building?

Started from here, then switched the direction of the type and used a different face for the “142.” I like it – I’m especially proud of the letterspacing in the “142” – but I think I’m going to revert to the original design and try it two-colour. In the meantime if you’re quick you get pick up a pound of coffee at ROW142 in these bags while they last.

What was Youngfolk & The Kettle Black on Richmond Street is now ROW142 on Richmond Street. I’ve been doing some experimenting with a new coffee bag design: this is just a one-colour experimental prototype for something that might eventually become a more complex two-colour job. I like the simplicity of this, though.

In a departure from earlier coffee bag printing, I’m bridging the “fold” region, and there be dragons: it’s twice-as-thick, and the position of the fold is quite variable, so this positioning might not be tenable over hundreds of bags.

It was good to get back into the print shop.

[[Oliver]]’s French class at Birchwood is studying language for travel – cars, planes, buses and so on – and that includes the language for the directions: north, south, east and west. Why do we travel but for to gather photos for later use as teaching aids: in 2009 we walked to the top of the Eiffel Tower and I took pictures of Oliver standing at each of the four corners!
